Is Ken Paxton a carpet bagger?

Unearthed footage: Ken Paxton talks about how much he loved growing up in California and says he hated leaving: Paxton: “The hardest for me was leaving California.” Host: “No one does that willingly.”

We are in the midst of lambing here in central Texas. 2 singles, twins and a set of triplets so far. The weakest triplet started fading so we brought it in as a bottle baby. Still weak but seems better. #GulfCoastNative. #SmallFarmlife.

You know Hallmark is already working on. Christmas show with this storyline. The small town manager of the struggling costume factory meets the husky, big city protester wearing a frog costume who has always dreamed of settling down in a small town.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

The Ocean: “Pff… You humans, you think you can conquer all! You inhabit all the continents; send rockets into space; put a flag on the moon; climb the tallest mountains; and sail the widest seas… but you’ll never leave your mark at my deepest depths!” Humans: “Hold my beer”

He is 13+ years. His arthritis is bad enough, he can barely stand. He is taking enough ketamine to make Elon Musk blush which leads to incontinence. But he is going to guard his sheep to his dying breath. Love that dog. #smallfarmlife. #gooddog

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

The room to testify against gerrymandering in Texas is full. This is how it looks outside. All these people want to testify but there isnt enough room/time. The people of Texas oppose gerrymandering.

A powerful statement of integrity.

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought." h/t @msnbc.com
