Using a fake blind trust Ken and Angela Paxton invested $600,000 into convicted fraudster Scott Sherman business. So does Ken really care about fraud or is he just trying to make money off of it? You know the answer Link in the comments #Texas #corruption

Ken Paxton lied when he filded disclosures of his assets and liabilities. He reported owning seven homes, but said he earned no income from any. Yet current residents and neighbors at those addresses confirmed that the properties were rented. He is incapable of being honest #texas #corruption

US migrant flights to Liberia evoke a troubling history of sending people deemed unwanted to West Africa. In the 1800s, West Africa was a focal point for removing Black people from America. History may not repeat, but it rhymes just like bigtory moves in packs #Immigration #Trump

The contractual obligated arranged marriage between Ethan Kline & Hila Cliams is over. The result is that everyone is ditching him, with the entire H3 ensemble saying "As soon as we found out, we all agreed: we would not continue working with Ethan involved or profiting in any way." #podcasts #h3

Trump's useless war with Iran has Western diesel producers high on the hog. While you suffer from high prices, the CEO's of these companies are giddy, with the boss of French energy company TotalEnergies saying, “I prefer the world of disruption to the peaceful world." It all makes sense #Business

I should not have nearly the same level of interaction as the media source that created the report I'm sharing. This is basically a perfect a-b test for headline and link posting. Meta really does down grade links! Screen shots taken at 1:45 AM EST #news #media #meta #socialmedia

Texas GOP voters with kids freaking out right now

A perfect encapsulation of how stupid Trump has been on Russia and the Iran War. Trump gives Putin Money, Putin gives Iran bombs with the money, and Iran gives Trump dead soldiers. Remember this when you vote! #Iran #Russia #Trump #Politics

Israel has detained 10 individuals over violent settler attacks in the West Bank, according to The New York Times. Rights groups say most inquiries into extremist assaults on Palestinians go nowhere. Let's hope we get some semblance of justice here #WorldNews #Geopolitics #Israel

A text message reviewed by Axios shows Ric Grenell allegedly offered a Turkish billionaire access to the White House and administration officials in exchange for donations. #Economy #FederalReserve

While cosplaying an anti data center populist, Gov. Gregg Abbot raked in over 9 million dollars in donations from the AI and Data Center lobby in Texas. Gina Hinojosa would never! If you are anti ai data centers vote Hinojosa!

The Transportation Department has rolled back consumer protections favoring airlines. Airlines will no longer be legally required to provide free hotel rooms, meal vouchers, or other compensation for delays or cancellations for a host of reasons. This goes into effect today. Thanks, Trump! #Travel

In leaked audio Ken Paxton stated “Making some reasonable cuts to mandatory spending — you’re gonna have to do it. Or there is no solution. That’s just the reality. We have to suck it up.” He wants to cut your social security & medicare to give tax cuts to the rich. #Texas #News

This is a reminder that if live in Austin and care about social services, parks, & the music you MUST vote no on prop I. Prop I hires a 3rd party audit to find savings, but they only get paid if they find things to cut. Even if you agree with a 3rd party audit this is the worst way to do it.

3,000 “No Kings: Vote Early” events across the country People who literally pause their lives to fight for humanity will always have my respect. People who actually believe in democracy

Texas Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton privately blamed the Iran war and gas prices for his campaign's struggles, saying affordability is the biggest issue. Again, he can't take any personal responsibility. Chicken Ken is a disgrace! #Texas #Republicans

According to ProPublica, Ken Paxton's travel security cost taxpayers millions, with only 1 in 6 of his trips having a stated business purpose. Just like everything else Ken Paxton does, this is just more theft from the taxpayer to feel important. Remember this when you go vote. #News #Texas

Settlers have attacked Palestinians across the occupied West Bank in a coordinated movement to disrupt the annual olive harvest, injuring at least six people, including a Washington Post journalist. This is what Ethnic Nationalism always looks like. #News #Palestine #WestBank #Israel

Hank: I just can't bring myself to vote for that Paxton fella, Peggy. He ain't right. The way he looks at ya Peggy: Oh is it the eye Hank: GOD NO PEGGY! The man can't help that. He's always looking like he's screaming, & the way he treated his wife Peggy: And he stole that pen Hank: Yup
