NEWS — Ken Paxton’s impeachment defense lawyer is endorsing Democrats James Talarico for Senate, @NOTUSreports scoops
Dan Cogdell, who represented Paxton in his 2023 impeachment trial and several personal cases, told NOTUS in a statement that Paxton “has lost sight of his core mission”
Cogdell is well-connected in Texas GOP politics, and has represented top state party officials. He donated $6,500 to Paxton’s campaign, contributing as recently as last year
But he’s been critical of Trump. A clip of him calling Trump the “greatest threat” to democracy was even turned into an NRSC attack ad last year. It’s been scrubbed from the web.
Talarico said in statement “if you voted for John Cornyn, you have a place in this campaign.”

Rep. Escobar to Nancy Mace: “You defended Donald Trump. You defended far worse… and pretty soon you’ll see Republicans defending Paxton.”
(From @atrupar)
63 federal courts threw out all of Trump’s BS claims.
All of them. The Supreme Court rejected all of Trump’s BS claims. He now screams and cuts off interviews because he constantly lies about elections being rigged. He’s projecting again.
This is the most humiliating & weak foreign policy adventure in modern times. Imagine what Fox and the hawks would be saying if Carter/Obama/Biden had done something this feckless.
WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.
I can believe Platner's scandals have dragged down his favorables and hurt his candidacy but you can't have it both ways. If a Platner +4 internal is bad for him, then a Collins tied internal is also bad for her. And they notably didn't release HER favorables in this poll.
@LPDonovan@ZaidJilani Serious question. I know everyone thinks they would know what the tattoo meant immediately (I doubt it); but have we heard from the military on this? He re-enlisted and that’s a rigorous process, how did they miss it?
A Collins classic here where she joins Dems in the failed vote to block Trump’s slush fund so she can say she was against it, but when they needed her vote to get it over the top she was there for them.
