Ken Paxton is trying to explain that his 15 HOUSES are because of private business, but that corrupt SOB has been working in government since January 2003, max salary $153K since 2015.
So I'm calling bullshit.
Texas: Don't elect a crook like Paxton.
Iโm happy to share this because I donโt care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelinesโฆ..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
I'm not the biggest Rosie O'Donnell fan, but she's been killing it subbing for Jimmie Kimmel while he's out on vacation.
The ending to her final monologue this week was no exception. ๐
Please forgive the shakiness here... i recorded it from my own TV. ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
๐จNEW: Federal Judge Leonie Brinkema has blocked Donald Trumpโs $1.8 billion โanti-weaponizationโ slush fund to pay January 6th insurrectionists.
RETWEET to thank Judge Brinkema for standing up for our democracy!
๐ Greg,
I have voted for you every election.
I am in a drought stricken portion of Texas. With a datacenter just miles from us.
I make decent return on my rental properties but its hurting the single parentsโฆ no one besides a.i. workers can afford rent. All my renters are a.i. workers. 2 years ago they were families. ๐๐ฝ
Please, please, please stop giving all of our water and electricity to data centers.
Our underwater aquifers are running low as it is.
Us, the tax payer, will be the ones having to bail out these Hyperscalers once everyone realizes they donโt make a profit.
Save our children,
Save our water,
And save our great State!

@HeyItsAimee@ScottyWitte@GregAbbott_TX And you're delusional. Voting requires responsibility for yourself and others. I wouldn't brag about supporting a heathen like Paxton.
