BREAKING: DHS just waived all environmental laws to blast border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park.
This marks the first time in American history the feds have gutted dozens of laws to push industrial-level construction through a national park.
Yet another complete failure of Texas leadership to let this happen. While Ken Paxton is suing toothpaste companies, he SHOULD be suing the federal government to immediately stop this destruction of Big Bend.
I could post all day every day about the ways Republicans have failed Texas, and I STILL wouldn’t get around to everything.
They have destroyed our state.
Get this.
The House just passed an air safety bill.
The billionaires snuck in a provision to STOP state and local tax officials from tracking private jets.
They'll get to fly private and pay NO taxes.
This is a handout to the super wealthy—and we're going to pay for it.
Donald Trump and the GOP are trying to steal, suppress and gerrymander to stay in power. Elias Law Group has 83 active voting and election cases in 42 states. We will not stop fighting. We will not stop winning. ⚖️ 💪🗳️
Senate Democrats called out the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Monday for reportedly taking a series of quiet steps to undermine federal voter protections this fall. https://t.co/IByWpnGhly
BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico:
“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.
And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now.
We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”
These are all programs that Trump has cut funding for and I’m curious where all this money went! Why aren’t we asking questions. Why isn’t Congress asking questions! 🤬
So all of you guys who were in my comments last month talking about how food assistance should not include candy and soda but actual healthy foods, I suppose you’re going to call your members of Congress and the White House about this?
Ya'll remember when the US set up a coup operation and kidnapped the President of Venezuela and his wife, stole a shit ton of oil, and then put the money in an offshore account, or have y'all already forgotten with all the other dystopian shit distractions???
MacFarlane: A whopper of a court filing just now from about three dozen retired former federal judges asking a court to stop this slush fund from proceeding and calling into question whether Trump and his own Department of Justice and IRS colluded to deceive the court
The Ken Paxton travel story is the perfect example of his corruption. Lobbying groups and political organizations provided flights, lodging, and meals, for golf retreats, Europe trips, Palm Beach visits, ski resorts, safaris, and the Kentucky Derby.. where he met his current mistress. And Texans paid nearly $3 million for the DPS security detail that traveled with him. $500,000 in 2024 alone.
So while Paxton spent years ranting about “the swamp,” he was literally living off the perks of political power while taxpayers subsidized the operation around him.
Even his own former deputy summed it up best:
“He likes the perks of the office.” https://t.co/t2RFQDNZDY

NEW: I just signed a bill making it illegal to seize ballots or interfere with election equipment.
As Trump and MAGA assault democracy, we're not sitting idly by — we’re safeguarding California’s elections.
The family of a child who was repeatedly raped by a man who Ken Paxton let off with no new jail time is speaking out:
“The fact that Attorney General Ken Paxton allowed this man to get away with molesting and sexually abusing [our] son for three years is completely disqualifying.
Adam Hoffman could have faced life in prison. Instead, Ken Paxton and his office offered him a deal that kept him off the sex-offender registry and included no new jail time.”
If you get a payout from Trump’s January 6 slush fund, California will tax it at 100%.
People who assault cops and overthrow democracy don’t deserve a taxpayer-funded payday.
The reason the war doesn’t end and prices don’t come down and people are losing health insurance and the measles is spreading is that all the White House does is corruption 24/7.
