Ken Paxton took roughly 350 taxpayer-funded trips outside Texas as AG (25 foreign), including fleeing to Utah while millions froze in the 2021 winter storm. Security tab: $3.1 million. Now he’s jet-setting in Iceland mid-Senate race. Fiscal conservative or just self-serving?

Turnout rate in the Israeli election was up to 74.3% in the latest update with still two hours to go. The record is 86.9% in the 1949 election. Even if turnout passes just 80% by polls closing, it would be the highest turnout rate in nearly 60 years.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.
