Ken Paxton needs to look in the mirror before he threatens to arrest Democrat lawmakers. He’s the one that should be worried. Here’s why: * Securities Fraud * Abuse of Office/Bribery Allegations * FBI Investigation * Whistleblower Lawsuit * Mortgage Violations

Here's the proof: Republicans are only looking out for their millionaire and billionaire friends – and they're willing to gamble with your lives to pay them off.

Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."

A recap of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill": Kids go hungry so Jeff Bezos can buy a 3rd yacht. Kids lose health care so Zuckerberg can buy a 2nd Hawaiian island. Seniors lose their nursing home care so Elon Musk can go to Mars. We must fight back with all we've got.

Today is unfortunately a good reminder of just how depraved many Trump supporters are. It should be the easiest thing in the world to just wish someone well in light of a devastating health diagnosis. That they can't even meet that very low bar says a lot about their character.

A shady fund backed by a foreign government just announced a $2 billion deal using Trump stablecoins. The Senate is gearing up to pass stablecoin legislation that will make it easier for Trump's family to line their own pockets. This is corruption. No senator should support it.

Republicans in Congress want to make it more expensive for kids from working-class families to go to college and easier for schools to scam student loan borrowers — all to pay for tax handouts for the wealthiest Americans.   That's the GOP agenda: billionaires win, families lose.
