Ron White: Eight of Ken Paxton’s assistants turned him into the FBI for fraud... They sued and won $6 million. Guess who paid that $6 million? You and me paid the $6 million for his bribery. His own party impeached him. He’s a criminal.

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! 🤮

Ken Paxton got a $250,000 donation from the chair of Texas Tech’s Board of Regents. The next day, he threatened to sue the Big 12 to protect Brendan Sorsby, the Tech quarterback who was caught illegally betting on his games. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas.

Let’s talk about Medicare for All. What would it mean for the individual American? ⬇ The day you’re born you get a card that gives you health insurance with no premium, co-pay, or deductible. Doesn’t matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26 or 65, get married or divorced — it's there for you.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

An Amazon worker died in one of Amazon's warehouses. As he lay on the floor dying, management told the other workers: "Just turn around and don't look. Get back to work." That was a human being. A child of God. Sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed.

A lot of us who have been clocking what Trump’s been saying see exactly why this warning is raised: “…we’re going to see an attempt to overturn the elections.. he’s gearing his attention… calling Democrats… the worst possible threat to the country… they are prepared to… create an emergency.”

Barron Trump's net worth increased by $150,000,000 in just one year. Trump was asked how this happened. He replied, "It's none of your business." Remember when the GOP tried to impeach Joe Biden because his son Hunter sold some paintings for $50,000? Republican's reaction to Barron's income: NONE!
