11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.
Ken Paxton currently owns a 5 bedroom, 3 story lodge in Oklahoma, advertised as a “modern luxury.” The property is worth over $1.6 million.
Trump is able to be this openly and obscenely corrupt because we haven’t had a Congress for the past 18 months.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · last wk.Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate.

The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

No joke. I think Democrats totally let him off the hook, again showing they’re not reading what voters are after.
Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com · 3w agoJust want to point out, with a few exceptions the Democrats absolutely sucked at the Todd Blanche hearing. They each just spoke and grandstanded, and didn’t focus on specific things…. Like Gislane Maxwell. Ossoff made all the headlines and it wasn’t even the Blanch hearing. It was another dude.
“I don't get political” translates to “This isn't hurting me yet and I don't care that it's hurting you.”
