Texas Attorney General, and now Republican nominee for the Texas Senate Ken Paxton gave his friend 28 days in jail after he repeatedly raped a young boy.

He does not have to register as a sex offender.

He didn’t even lose his license to practice law.

Devastating language!

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: A federal judge is now signaling the Trump administration’s so-called “weaponization fund” may have emerged from collusive litigation and could potentially amount to fraud on the court.

That is nuclear-level language from a judge.

“Fraud on the court” is not normal criticism.
It is reserved for situations where a court believes it may have been manipulated, misled, or used as part of a coordinated scheme.

And the judge reportedly pointed to two giant red flags:
- the massive $1.8 billion settlement amount
- and concerns the opposing sides may not have actually been acting as true adversaries

Translation?

The court is openly questioning whether this lawsuit was partially engineered to create a taxpayer-funded political compensation machine.

That is an absolutely extraordinary development.

Adam Hoffman raped his son’s best friend for 3 years

First-degree felony. Life without parole.

Ken Paxton’s office gutted it to 60 days. He walked free after 30.

No sex offender registration. His record scrubbed clean.
Texas protects predators with power!

1. Walls don’t work

2. President Biden promised he wouldn’t build them

3. Now even harder for voters to distinguish between him & Trump on border/immigration

4. Wasted opportunity to use executive power to actually fix our asylum system instead of impotent political posturing

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

No one risks death coming to this country unless death is all but certain in their own.

This is no invading army. Just people doing what you or I would do if faced with the same choice.

We could stop this suffering. Do we want to? https://t.co/1rB3Fw700R

[Colin Allred @ColinAllredTX]

Ted Cruz voted to shut down the government yesterday. He voted to force our service members and CBP agents to go without pay, and to deny Texans and our small businesses resources we need.

Ted Cruz is too extreme for Texas. Together, we will replace him.

Fox News is back to fully embracing the "invasion" rhetoric on migration.

Lisa Boothe: "I see military-age men... I ask myself, at what point do we see this for what it is, or what it appears like to me -- an invasion?"

[Stephanie Osburn🛹👟 @osburnsa]

@RonanFarrow I'm good with this.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

This is the right decision.

The Administration should respond not by fighting it but by providing safe, legal and orderly pathways for asylum seekers.

Oh how I wish #ThreadsApp would pull my followers from Twitter instead of IG. I like to keep my political rants separate from cute pics of puppies & my planner obsession.

@GregAbbott_TX Admittedly, electronic voting systems might not be the best idea in a state that can't keep the electricity on. 🤔

[Stephanie Osburn🛹👟 @osburnsa]

@DramaAlert WTAF? I hope we all get to see when karma comes knocking on his door.

[Stephanie Osburn🛹👟 @osburnsa]

@GregAbbott_TX How about that healthcare situation, though? And the power grid? 🤔

[Stephanie Osburn🛹👟 @osburnsa]

@GregAbbott_TX Meanwhile, we have no health insurance, spotty electricity, we make some of the lowest wages in the country, we get massacred in mass shootings that are bungled by law enforcement, and we have no bodily autonomy. Good job, Gov! 🙄

[Stephanie Osburn🛹👟 @osburnsa]

@kboriginalist @TonyGonzales4TX Clearly, you don't understand that whether I voted for him or not, he still represents me. I didn't cease to matter because he squeaked by in the election. And not all of the people who did vote for him are in lockstep with the GOP extremists. Tony knows that.

[Stephanie Osburn🛹👟 @osburnsa]

@kboriginalist @TonyGonzales4TX As a "liberal Democrat" who lives in District 23 and didn't even vote for him, I truly appreciate him voting his district. Just because it's Texas, doesn't mean we're all "conservative" extremists.

[Stephanie Osburn🛹👟 @osburnsa]

@TtstcBitchcakes @CocaCola It appears it has been. @CocaCola has stopped responding, but I haven't been able to find it in almost 3 years.

[Stephanie Osburn🛹👟 @osburnsa]

@CocaCola is Diet Coke with Splenda being discontinued? I can't find it anywhere. Due to health issues, I can't drink anything with aspartame, so this was literally the only soda I could drink. Please tell me you didn't do this!

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

McCarthy giving 40,000 hrs of Jan. 6 tape to a pro-Putin journalist is an astounding ethical collapse. What security precautions were taken to keep this from becoming a roadmap for 2024 insurrection? Why isn’t it available to all media & public? Smell the MAGA propaganda coming.
