Ken Paxton spent it with the British.

Hiding your Indian wife in campaign ads is crazy work

Dan Patrick: "Separation of Church and state is not in the Constitution"

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Pete Buttigieg said on Friday that he and his husband were kept away from their 4-year-old twins after an anonymous report falsely accused Buttigieg of posing a threat to their children. The separation lasted for 24 hours, he said. https://t.co/5hk19Y49Vl

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.

Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

.@Timodc: "Being separated from your young child for a night by the government because a cruel, insane person called the police and said you are a monster…is totally unacceptable…It's totally against how things work in a free country and I'm happy Pete spoke out."

A reminder that Flo Balogun would not be on the US Men's National Team if Trump's birthright citizenship order was in place when he was born in NY. The first US man to score more than one goal in a World Cup match since the very first World Cup in 1930.

MIKA: Given your sexting, can you call for the release of the Epstein files and not be conflicted in any way?

PLATNER: Yes, of course. I engaged in consensual romantic activities with adults at an earlier part of my life. That seems like a fairly normal thing most people do. Going to an island with billionaires to possibly assault children is a vastly, vastly different thing.

The intense media focus on Graham Platner is understandable. He is an unknown in a crucial Senate race with a lot of baggage. Less understandable is the lack of coverage of Ken Paxton, whose sins are far worse. That it is “old news” is no excuse. Most voters have no clue.

Graham Platner: “Susan Collins hasn’t met a war she doesn’t like, and it’s no surprise because she’s married to a lobbyist who represents the defense industry. You don’t see as many articles about that.”

New reports reveal GOP Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp sold 3 lakefront properties shortly after he became governor.

The properties had been listed for over a decade, and the people who bought the properties were later given valuable government contracts and appointed to high-ranking positions.

Ken Paxton fucked a married Christian mom of 7 while his wife slept alone.

Bought her a $2.1M fuckpad with taxpayer-tainted cash.

He prays in church, then preys on families.

This is your "pro-family" Texas AG.

You disgust me, you corrupt pig...

Six years ago, Dallas became the first city in the nation to adopt an official Pride flag. Every June, it flies over City Hall.

Proud to stand with neighbors and local leaders in a city that sends a clear message: you are valued, you are protected, and you belong.

Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈

Happy Pride to everyone who was a pleasure to have in class

Former Governor of Texas Rick Perry (R):

“Ken Paxton initially offered a plea deal to a MAN WHO ADMITTED TO MOLESTING a child to serve only ONE DAY IN JAIL.”

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

NEW AD: Ken Paxton just released a pedophile back on our streets.

Adam Hoffman abused a little boy for 3 years. He should have faced life in prison — but Ken Paxton and his wealthy lawyer friends let Hoffman off the hook.

Ken Paxton’s corruption is hurting Texas.
