21/ 3 different tools, one purpose. Buy the trial courts with appointed judges. Buy the appeals court with a new statewide bench. Override the DAs, the juries, and even judges from your own party when they get in the way. Watch who funds your local judicial races. That’s where this actually starts
20/ Here’s who actually pays for all of it. The same year Perry was pardoned, Austin paid out more than $27 million to protesters injured by police, and most of those officers walked. Meanwhile, a patient hurt by hospital malpractice is capped at $250,000, no matter how bad the harm.
19/ Even friendly judges aren’t safe. In 2021 the Court of Criminal Appeals ruled 8-1 against Paxton. In 2024 he got those judges voted out in the primary as punishment. newsfromthestates.com/article/paxton-backed-thomas-smith-defeats-alison-fox-gop-runoff-texas-highest-criminal-court

18/ Abbott’s own proclamation said Texas’s self defense laws “cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive DA.” Read that again. The governor said, in writing, that a jury’s verdict doesn’t count if the state disagrees with it. cbsnews.com/news/daniel-perry-pardoned-by-texas-governor-paroles-board
Texas governor pardons Daniel Perry, convicted of shooting and killing protester in 2020
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued his pardon after the unanimous recommendation by the state's Board of Pardons and Paroles.

14/ There is a third track, and it hits closest to home. When elected local officials don’t deliver the outcome the state wants, Texas built ways to override them directly, not through courts at all, but through the pardon power and a 2023 law called House Bill 17.
11/ Greg Abbott, attorney general before he was governor, once summed up his job like this: “I go into the office, I sue the federal government and I go home.” He sued the Obama administration 31 times. The current AG, Ken Paxton, has sued the federal government over 100 times.
6/ Twenty years later, they pushed further. In 2023 the Legislature passed House Bill 19, creating the Texas Business Courts, a whole new court system for big commercial disputes. Judges there are not elected. They are appointed by the governor to renewable two year terms.
4/ In 2003, with that money behind it, the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 4. It capped non economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000, made it harder to certify class actions, and restricted punitive damages and asbestos claims. This was phase one.
1/ Six rich Texans gave $100M to a group called Texans for Lawsuit Reform. That 💰 built a brand new court system where judges are not elected, they are appointed by governor, specifically so corporations never have to face a jury of regular Texans again. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Impeach. Remove. This charlatan is a grifting, lying imbecile. And that was me showing restraint.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 3d agoI worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
RFK Jr and wife had a soiree at their Hollywood mansion during COVID and required proof of COVID vaccination with RSVP. Watch what they do, not what they say. –Rachel Maddow
Long Island has become a MAGA cesspool….. courtesy of racism and bigotry

I'm guessing the markets have stopped reacting to whatever trump says since all he says is a garbage lie.

According to the latest Fox News poll, if the election were held today, we would own the House and the Senate, so let’s make sure we’re all registered and vote big in November!
The people in Oregon aren't putting up with it; they recognize nonsense when they hear it. This Native American is defending her ancestors' land and land for her future generations. The climate is already a disaster and only getting worse, yet this administration pushes forward. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎
Rachel Maddow just confirmed our WORST Social Security nightmare... Trump's Treasury Secretary admitted that new Trump accounts are "a backdoor" way to privatize Social Security. And Rachel Maddow just sounded the alarm about how bad this really is!
Trump just said the quiet part out loud. If the Senate won’t confirm Todd Blanche, he’ll keep him as “acting” AG until the senators blocking him are gone then try again. That’s not how democracy works. That’s how authoritarianism works. #USDemocracy apple.news/AfzmUyhBRQE6...

ICE doesn't move detainees across the country by accident—it's a strategy. That's what they did to Eduardo, who's married to a citizen. Detained on the job, he was shipped off to Texas at 2AM, away from his wife & attorney. I'm demanding he be brought home and get due process.
