Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years.
He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender.

Ben Meiselas likens Donald Trump sending Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to negotiate with Iran to a screwball comedy: "What happens when two zany guys have to negotiate a peace deal with Iran and don't know a thing about nuclear weapons?" They go to nuclear school like Billy Madison.

Questions about Donald Trump's health are growing louder on Capitol Hill.
Rep. Ted Lieu says Americans can see for themselves what is happening, pointing to multiple instances where Trump appeared to doze off during official events, meetings, and most recently at the NBA Finals.
"The president of the United States is not well. We can see it with our own eyes," Lieu said.
Lieu called on the White House to explain Trump's repeated hospital visits and why he is reportedly undergoing cognitive testing.
New from @MacFarlaneNews.
CENTCOM said the pilots shot down were rescued at 7:33 PM ET within 2 hours after they were shot down. Trump boarded the helicopter from Bedminster to go to the Knicks game at 6:57 PM ET. So he was on his way to the game after they were shot down and before they were rescued.
"Bill Essayli, the top federal prosecutor in Los Angeles appointed by President Trump, is desperately trying to crowdsource proof of voter fraud after Republicans’ defeat." https://t.co/KRLhS4pcBQ
The Trump Admin cut funding for screwworm detection and fired 25% of staff responsible for tracking the disease.
I’m embarrassed for the Secretary that her only answer is to blame the administration that left office a year and a half ago.
In the span of a few days, Pete Hegseth created 2 more major unnecessary controversies on parts of the job that should be pretty simple:
He turned the D-Day commemoration ceremony into an anti-immigration speech.
He removed Mormons from the list of DOD Christian denominations.
"We're trying to find a way out of this nightmare by building these alliances elsewhere."
Charlie Angus describes how Canada is increasingly diversifying away from the United States in response to its treatment under the Trump regime.
Brett Meiselas on Donald Trump's move fast and break stuff mindset: Trump's lawyers said, "Yeah, that's exactly what we're saying. We can bulldoze the Statue of Liberty if we wanted to."
What a metaphor for the way Donald Trump treats the United States of America.
I mean, that shows you their mindset right there, right? It's that move fast and break stuff mindset. Donald Trump has brought that into the United States government, and that's what he's doing.
They're trying to just constantly break this, break that, break this agency, remove this agency, remove that, destroy this building, destroy the East Wing, whatever it is.
From the Texas Tribune:
After Mexican officials confirmed case of screwworm in Nov. 2024, USDA, under Joe Biden, closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent spread of screwworm into U.S. Move also strained supply of cattle in Texas....
USDA reversed course in Feb 2025, after Trump took office, announcing opening of ports"
