Trump nominates Blanche for attorney general, tapping his former personal attorney who orchestrated the plan to give $1.8 billion in taxpayer money to Trump allies and to grant Trump and his family immunity from paying any owed back taxes and penalties. https://t.co/kbaVyB5ao4

I was a U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer, I served proudly in Afghanistan, and I’ve dealt with the Intelligence Community. I can say with confidence that Bill Pulte’s lack of experience is dangerous for our national security. Congress must push back and prevent an inexperienced loyalist from becoming the next Director of National Intelligence.

President Trump announced he has issued a pardon to former Republican Rep. Stephen Buyer of Indiana, who was convicted of insider trading after leaving office.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends.

He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission.

Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

This would be hilarious if it weren’t so tragic.

Tillis: "To call Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder. He's gonna be an anchor on our caucus"

[Kayla @KaylaDavis2000]

Ken Paxton was indicted in 2015 for securities fraud

For 9 years he dodged trial while serving as Texas AG. The fix was in, he cut a backroom deal: no jail, just a fine. He scammed investors & walked away clean

This is what justice looks like when power protects its own!

Jonah says what others are afraid to.

The ridiculous taxpayer-funded slush fund to reward his friends and supporters is what Hamilton had in mind when he talked about impeachable offenses.

[Covie @covie_93]

trump waged war against Thomas Massie because he called for pedophiles to be prosecuted then endorsed Ken Paxton who gave a pedophile 30 days in jail after he admitted to repeatedly molesting a young boy.

That's where the Republican party is now.

An out-of-state school just got approved for Texas vouchers.

We knew this would happen — and Republicans voted down my amendment to prevent it. 

Texas taxpayer dollars should go to Texas schools.

The Artemis II astronauts, now suited up for launch, are headed to the launch pad.

The crew includes NASA astronauts @Astro_Reid, @AstroVicGlover, and @Astro_Christina, and @CSA_ASC astronaut @Astro_Jeremy.

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

These should be household names: Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen. They are set to be the first humans to go to the moon in more than a half century. While not landing, they will travel further from home than anyone. @TimBella https://t.co/VOpzWUOgaT

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

Ken Paxton's impeachment trial revealed he used his office to help a developer under FBI investigation, who in return hired Paxton's mistress & set up a fake Uber account named "Dave P" so Paxton could sneak to her apartment. Rich that a "family values" group would promote him.

[NASA @NASA]

The countdown begins.

Teams at @NASAKennedy have arrived to their stations at the Launch Control Center. We are about 48 hours from the launch of the Artemis II mission around the Moon. https://t.co/PqaR8eyxu4

NEW: Most Texas prisoners live without A/C. A trial starting today could change that.

The plaintiffs cite heat-related inmate deaths & staff illnesses as proof of cruel & unusual punishment. The state argues it's moving as fast as it can to install A/C.
