Paxton has his aide step and doesn't answer when someone asks him "how come on a government salary you own over 15 houses?"

If I committed one-1,000th as many crimes as Trump has, I'd be in prison right now.
holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
media when maga wins an election: we must travel the country and speak to these voters and extend empathy to them and give credence to their bigotry and false beliefs media when the left wins an election: is this the end of the american experiment

There’s No Time for Centrists to Be Doomers About El-Sayed’s Victory
El-Sayed won the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan by a slim margin. Overcoming AIPAC and the establishment to win is still a huge victory.

local woman feels slightly vindicated for several weeks spent steering colleagues away from state primary polling that was a) sponsored or conducted by groups with vested interests b) done on the cheap c) done by people with very little track record d) all of the above, yes
honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.
Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
Judge Wise finds that ICE coerced a 20-year-old Tongan man — admitted legally to the country three years ago — to sign a document accepting deportation, despite no criminal record or immigration proceedings against him. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"My own mental health journey has given me a much deeper sense of empathy,” @francescahongwi.bsky.social told me. I wrote about the ridiculous attacks by right-wing media on Francesca Hong's mental health history for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It’s past time to BAN CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING! No member of Congress [or the White House] should be trading stocks. Period. The American people deserve to know their representatives are working for them, not corporations and stock portfolios. It’s time to ban Congressional stock trading.
11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.

New: Acting AG Blanche shared two docs meant to assuage GOP holdouts to his nomination. They leave intact the text of the Trump settlement + audit immunity that spurred controversy, while walking back/clarifying DOJ's stance. Now what? The Blanche docs, annotated: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Transportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...
What the Hell Happened to Sean Duffy’s Road-Trip TV Show?
Three months after it was announced, the secretary of transportation’s summer show—funded by companies he regulates—hasn’t aired a single episode.

⚡️ UPDATE — AIPAC backs Brent Taylor in TN-9 @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “A majority of all voters (Republican/Independent/Dems) oppose sending more money to Israel to fund their genocide while our hospitals get shut down and our schools lose funding.”
This bizarrely timed post never mentioned her 84-year-old Republican husband, whom many still assume is dead or on life support. Seven hours later, it managed one lonely like and the comments were turned off.
