It should never be forgotten that Ken Paxton was a leader in the coup to nullify the election of Joe Biden. He filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court to challenge the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin even though he was the AG for Texas. His suit was quickly tossed by the Court. On January 7th Paxton claimed the insurrection of the previous day was the work of antifa. This lie was quickly disproven.
On the 7th 46 state attorneys general disavowed the violence of the 6th in a letter to the Acting Attorney General of the U.S. A few days later three more AGs sent their own letter in condemning the violent insurrection. Only Ken Paxton failed to sign either letter.
"Our endorsement of Acton rests on more than Ramaswamy’s failure to meet a basic standard of decency. She has earned consideration on her own record, her preparation and her commitment to the people she seeks to serve."
Cleveland Plain Dealer reverses their decision to stay neutral and endorses @amyactonoh — a true leader and public servant.

WaPo reports that a woman featured in a $1 million Republican ad warning that an Iowa Democrat running for congress is “dangerous” for children previously pleaded guilty to child endangerment after driving drunk with her two young kids in the car. https://t.co/zbvrlOBkDr
Zach Lahn re-registered to vote in Iowa in Oct 2024 — just in time to qualify to run for governor in 2026.
Lahn cast an Iowa ballot in 2024.
But previously unreported voting records show he requested it be mailed to him — in Kansas.

As a farmer of 50 years, this is embarassing.
This year one third of US farm income will have come from the taxpayers. The SAME taxpayers who are struggling at their own kitchen tables.
I cant afford it, but how ever this comes, I'm pushing half to my local shelter and food bank.
Good article today from the NYT. I have still yet to hear one good reason why we should get rid of a broad, multi purpose space to satisfy one thing and one thing only. It defies imagination and what PUBLIC space is meant to be.

Joe likes to lie about my values and my record to voters, but here’s what he really thinks about me. I've dedicated my life to my faith and overcoming difference. I'll do the same in Congress.
We’ll be at the Marine Corps Marathon this Sunday, mile 11.75, right as runners enter East Potomac Park.
40,000 runners passing straight through the park we’re fighting to save. Come join us, ~8am to noon. Signs provided.
Come for all or part of it! It's worth fighting for.
Obama: We have seen this movie before. I starred in it! I've got a long-form birth certificate to prove it. This stuff didn't work on me in Michigan, it's not going to work on Abdul.
I’m the wife of a wonderful man.
I’m the mom of a little boy.
I’m the daughter of two parents who are getting older.
I’m a caregiver to a parent with dementia.
I’m a farmer who had to close her operation.
I’m a follower of Jesus Christ.
I’m a lot like a lot of Arkansans.
And I want to be your next U.S. Senator.
Nearly 4,000 absentee ballots in North Carolina could be rejected because of an envelope not being sealed correctly. North Carolina voters now must seal their absentee ballot in an internal envelope, and then place then in a second envelope. If either envelope is unsealed, their ballot is void. We are seeing the real-time impacts of anti-voter legislation. Follow Democracy Docket to stay up to date on the latest election news.
South Carolina will have its first female senator! One will do the job, and one will do what she’s told to do. Let’s make sure the right one wins. @AnnieAndrewsMD

I am a husband, father, and lifelong Texan. I’ve been a Christian since I was 5 and a pastor since I was 19.
And I just proudly voted for James Talarico, Gina Hinojosa, Jon Rosenthal, and Vikki Goodwin.
While it’s true that Ken Paxton is as corrupt and morally bankrupt as they come, Greg Abbott has decimated our public schools, Dan Patrick is bought and paid for by right-wing billionaires, and Bo French wears his racism on his sleeve, I didn’t just vote AGAINST candidates I know will do a bad job. I had the privilege of voting FOR candidates who will do a great job!
I originally connected with Jimmy Talarico many years ago (long before he got famous) and we became friends shortly after. He’s the exact same guy in private as he is in public—kindhearted, whip smart, hardworking, and very serious about following Jesus’ call to care for all people, especially the most vulnerable. That’s who he’s been in ministry, in the Texas Legislature, and I have no doubt that’s who he’ll be as a United States Senator too.
I’ve also gotten to speak with Gina Hinojosa, Jon Rosenthal, and Vikki Goodwin this year. I believe they will fight for two things that are very important to my family and so many people in our church community:
1. An economy where every Texan can afford to have their basic needs met.
2. Fully funded public schools where all children can thrive.
I’m not telling you who to vote for; I’m just telling you who I chose to vote for and why.
We are in a critical moment in both the United States and Texas, so I hope you vote. And if you are a follower of Jesus, I hope you see your vote as a way to prioritize the way of Jesus—sacrificial love of neighbor and justice for those who have been marginalized.
