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.”

[Open New York @OpenNYForAll]

A similar case here in NYC, where ~40% (!!!!) of the buildings in Manhattan would be illegal to build today.

We've made some strides with rezonings such as City of Yes and MSMX, but we still have lots to do to reclaim the building greatness that made Manhattan what it is today.

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

[Hakeem Jeffries @hakeemjeffries]

There it is.

The Florida House Speaker traded a gerrymandered congressional map in the middle of the decade for an Ambassadorship.

The culture of corruption is happening in plain sight.

Remember in November.

@StartWaiting @sgodofsk I don’t believe those laws have had huge effects on the price of pork; if I’m wrong, please correct me. Banning factory farming would of course cost more although also bring much larger benefits

[Harry Larson @HarryLarson1]

@StartWaiting @sgodofsk The debate in question is over the so called “save our bacon” act, which is not about banning factory farming; it proposes to preempt efforts by a handful of states to outlaw the sale of meat made through the most egregious practices (e.g., gestational crates)

[Harry Larson @HarryLarson1]

@sgodofsk There’s a lot of space between “pigs have the same moral claims on us as people” and “there is nothing wrong with keeping pigs locked in torture chambers so as to make pork marginally cheaper”

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

Less than 400 units built this year for all of San Francisco.

Just unbelievably pathetic. How is it still this bad in 2026.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

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.”

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’

@JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case.

Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.

[Will Poff-Webster @willpoffwebster]

I'm unusually qualified to speak on this because I love @SenWarren, interned on her first campaign, voted for her multiple times, and then spent the last few years working for the incredible and brilliant @brianschatz.

They are both housing champions, but Schatz is correct on this one: during a housing shortage, building more homes helps people who need a home.

Please Senator Warren, don't tarnish your wonderful housing bill with one anti-housing supply provision.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest two children, and he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout?

BLANCHE: You're obviously lying in your question

VAN HOLLEN: I am reporting what he said

[Jed Shugerman @jedshug]

Any DOJ settlement that gives the President a dollar -- or a direct material benefit -- is a flagrant violation of the Presidential Emoluments Clause:

"The President shall not receive ... any other Emolument from the United States, or any of [the states]." Art II, S.1, cl. 7.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is absolutely disgusting.

This bigoted garbage and antisemitism should be nowhere near our politics.

If you’re in TX-35, vote for @johnnygarciatx.

And the donors behind the Republican super PAC funding her should be exposed.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

Obama expressed empathy for Trayvon Martin and @benshapiro had a decade long tantrum. Imagine if instead he had stolen $1.8 bil from taxpayers and had BLM dole it out to whoever they wanted. Because that's what Trump is doing but for insurrectionist whites instead.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The President is now exempt from our tax laws while everyone else has to obey them.

Got it.

It's just mind blowing that is what's happening in America.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This is outright theft.

Trump is stealing $1.7 BILLION of your money to set up a totally unprecedented, first-in-American-history political slush fund that he can use to dole out cash to win loyalty and favors for him and his family.

[sam @sam_d_1995]

this is OUR money. they are stealing OUR money to pay off these corrupt insurrectionist criminals.

this cannot be legal what the fuck

[Hutch @hutchinson]

This is probably a “top 5 most brazenly corrupt thing a president has ever done” moment right here.

It’s stunning. Sue the government that you’re in charge of, order them to settle, then plunder ~$2B worth of taxpayer money to pay himself and his corrupt idiot friends.
