🚨Holy crap! Ken Paxton partied on New Year’s Eve 2024 in Dubai with his girlfriend and two U.S. fugitives (Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail) charged in healthcare fraud/embezzlement schemes. Ahmed, a major donor, gave about $190,000 to Paxton’s campaign — including after his indictment.

Ken Paxton is selling off Texas — our land, our water, our communities. Data centers bankroll Paxton, they get tax breaks, and you get stuck with the bill. We can’t afford Ken Paxton’s corruption. (This ad was made by humans — not AI.)

This is disgusting!.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social is simply 1 of the greatest, most inspirational candidates to emerge in years, running against Ken Paxton, one of the most disgracefully corrupt politicians of all-time. So the Texas GOP responds by doing what comes naturally to them, of course: CHEATING! 🤮

“Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made… socialism is their name for most anything that helps the people. 1952. Truman. This is how stale their desperate fearmongering is. cc: @MarshaBlackburn

Why I picked Spain? Spain formally recognizes the State of Palestine, having officially granted statehood on May 28, 2024, alongside Ireland and Norway. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated his support for a viable two-state solution. Spain is taking in refugees. The flotilla!!! I also love Yamal.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the World Cup. I have loved cheering for the US team. Then that fucker intervened. Yes, the red card was excessive, but I would rather lose because of it than win because Imbecile called FIFA. The joy is gone. Now we’re the bad guys. He destroys everything.

Didn’t see this coming. Another Senate race to watch closely. Lindsey Graham spent years acting like South Carolina belonged to him. The voters might have other plans. Dr. Annie Andrews is at 45%, and among informed voters, she leads Graham 46% to 43%.

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

a disgrace not only to the office of the president but to military families who have lost loved ones

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
