Ken Paxton’s own party impeached him.
His own staff reported him to the FBI.
Now his own defense attorney is endorsing our campaign.

Those closest to Ken Paxton know he's unfit for office.

@RepNancyMace @davidbrookscox It’s the politicians that have been continuously stoking hate against the other side to gain power or to stay in power. It’s time we stop rewarding them for doing that. It’s time for Americans to draw together and support the things we have in common.

@RpsAgainstTrump Utterly disgusting!

[Sunflower8076 @iris1850]

@Acyn @WandaNo51 Trump used and uses every manipulation technique that cult leaders use to brainwash their followers. Normal logic would kick in, but if you’re brainwashed, it’s not so easy.

[Sunflower8076 @iris1850]

@atrupar I’m pretty sure that people in Texas and the US could care less about whether Talarico has a lot of muscles or not. There are far more important issues to deal with in this country. High inflation, growing unemployment, forever wars, etc etc. Get a clue Ted!

@BradJConnolly @allenanalysis He is a prime example, for sure.

@allenanalysis You know, he could have just watched it on TV.

Under Trump, the Forest Service is gutting labs that cost ONE DOLLAR in rent so they can cram scientists into a Fort Collins office that costs taxpayers a million a year.

As reported by NPR, Trump's 2027 budget zeroes out Forest Service research entirely. Three hundred and nine million dollars, gone. Fifty-seven of the agency's seventy-seven research stations are on the chopping block.

These are the forests generations of Americans have hiked, hunted, camped, and prayed in. Sacred ground for almost anyone who's ever stepped outside in this country.

And the "efficiency" pitch? A scam.

The research station in Hilo, Hawaii sits on 30,000 acres the federal government rents for a one-time fee of ONE DOLLAR, locked in until 2067. The Michigan Tech lease? One dollar paid in 1963, free ever since. Another site costs the agency $600 a month for two rooms.

The destination they want everyone shipped to in Fort Collins runs taxpayers a million a year.

Read that again. They're closing dollar leases to expand a million-dollar lease.
Scientists in Baltimore have spent years planting white oak saplings that need three decades to mature. You can't FedEx a forest to Colorado. You can't manage a Hawaiian ecosystem from a cubicle in Utah.

Researchers told NPR they'll quit before they relocate. Which is the point.

Meanwhile, Trump has openly pledged to ramp up logging on federal land. Gut the scientists who document the damage, and there's nobody left to sound the alarm when ancient forests get clear-cut for profit.

These are the people who tell us when wildfire season turns deadly. Who track invasive beetles eating through pine. Who teach cities how to recycle dead trees instead of dumping them in landfills.

You don't dismantle the world's largest forestry research network because you're worried about a maintenance bill. You dismantle it because somebody plans to take a chainsaw to what the public owns and doesn't want a paper trail.

The forests don't belong to Tom Schultz. They don't belong to Trump. They belong to every American who has ever stood quiet under a hundred-year-old tree and understood, for one second, that some things are not for sale.

Defend them now, or explain it to your grandkids later.

There is something happening in Texas.

We are uniting Texans on one team to take back our state and take back our country.

We will end 30 years of one party rule in this state and elect a Senator who is going to serve the people, not billionaire mega-donors.

@TheJFreakinC Just hide your head in the sand and everything will be perfect.

[Sunflower8076 @iris1850]

@allenanalysis Most Americans aren’t happy about it either.

[Sunflower8076 @iris1850]

@allenanalysis Ironic how he can go to sports games, etc., but he claims he needs a fortified ballroom to be safe.

[Sunflower8076 @iris1850]

@IGNorantreturns @jahstafarian @Brcremer Neither party is without sin. The whole point is to recognize evil wherever it rears its head. If you can’t see what Trump is doing to people and the corruption he is engaging in, then you’re not measuring right and wrong by God’s Word, you’re measuring by your own standard.

[Sunflower8076 @iris1850]

@america Good job. They wanted the Fed to have the voter rolls, so they could cheat on the elections, in my opinion.

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.

The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.

It had fewer than 50 employees.

And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.

Here is the part the administration tried to bury.

Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.

One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.

Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.

A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.

This is public money. Your money.

Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.

And there is more coming.

A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.

This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

[Divinely Designed @DivinelyDesined]

The most detailed 3D reconstruction of a cell ever created.

Blows my mind every time.

But what exactly are we looking at here?

The average human cell contains:

~ 15-20 total distinct organelle types, totalling between ~1-10 million working together per cell.

All these nano-machines in the cell are made up of proteins.

~ 8,000-10,000 distinct types of unique proteins, adding up to between 40 million - 10 trillion total proteins making up all those cellular systems.

~ 10,000 - 15,000 distinct types of RNA shuttling information around the cell, totalling up to ~10 million RNA molecules moving around the cell simultaneously.

~ Billions of Lipid molecules packed together into the cell membrane, which is also packed tightly with millions more protein-based nano-machines.

And let's not forget billions of lines of DNA information to build and run it all.

That's TRILLIONS of of individual molecular pieces working together to make a single cell function.

That means there is more complexity in a single cell than humanity's largest cities.

And people still believe this wasn't Divinely Designed.

This is God's Glory on Display.

But to make the point.

A cell couldn't have evolved from some nebulous simpler "protocell" because even the simplest cells still require massive complexity.

The "simplest" cell ever created was engineered by scientists knocking out pieces of a functional cell until it stopped functioning.

Here is what they found is the absolute necessary minimal requirements of a cell to function:

- Over ~531,000 lines of coded DNA information

- 473 total genes to create hundreds of unique protein products (they later added 19 genes back in because the cell was so weak)

- Hundreds of thousands of total proteins all working together

- Extensive regulatory networks guiding all these interactions

If the cell doesn't have all these systems in place, from the start...
it doesn't live.

Cell rely on an intricate network of complex systems, which are themselves built from complex interconnected pieces woven together into an incomprehensibly complex web of functionilty.

Only intelligence has ever been observed creation vast interconnected systems like this.

Life was clearly Created.

It couldn't happen any other way.

🔥 BRUTAL.

Andy Beshear just went after Ken Paxton with a line that is going to follow him for the rest of this race.

"He's so corrupt his own party impeached him."

Ouch.

Think about that for a second.

Not Democrats. Not political opponents.

His own party. His own side. His own colleagues.

Beshear didn't stop there.

He said Paxton lacks the character to serve as senator and accused him of treating public office as a tool for personal enrichment instead of public service.

And that's the real danger for Republicans.

Because every time they try to make this race about Biden, Democrats, or Washington...

someone brings the conversation right back to Ken Paxton.

The candidate. The scandals. The impeachment.

The question hanging over all of it:

If your own party tried to remove you from office...

why should voters promote you to a higher one?

Follow @AllenAnalysis to stay ahead of the curve.

@HelenM17813215 @TheCameraEye01 @AdamKinzinger Once again,give a definition of conservative before you say I’m no conservative.I’m not a Trump supporter. I hate that neither party is conservative. I’m tired of corrupt rich men manipulating the electorate to stay in or gain political power. That’s the opposite of our founding.

Abide with me,
Within the west day is fast declining,
The shadows lengthen on the purpling hills;
How Thy dear presence, tender and refining,
Each murmur of my troubled spirit stills.
Abide with me.
