Coercive government power exercised with less visibility and accountability is incompatible with democratic government. When the state’s capacity to inflict pain expands while scrutiny weakens, the danger of abuse expands with it. zurl.co/Ppndo

🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary. Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!” Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short. Texans deserve better.

Elon Musk spent $290M to elect Trump in 2024 — and has spent $85M+ so far this cycle to keep Republicans in power. Now, Trump's DOT is gutting safety rules to clear the way for Musk's driverless Tesla Cybercab. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.
