Ken Paxton avoided impeachment in the Texas Senate after his associates donated to Lt. Dan’s war chest. We can’t afford another four years of corruption and kickbacks. #BanDan and elect Vikki Goodwin in November 🇺🇸

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

Heritage Foundation Audience Doesn't Seem Too Enthusiastic About J.D. Vance For President
Probably not a good sign that when Rep. Riley Moore told a Heritage Foundation audience that "there's no one better" to lead the MAGA movement in 2028 than J.D. Vance, barely two people applauded.

Luis Ochoa is 17. He was driving to file his Marine Corps enlistment paperwork in Alamo, Texas. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him to the ground, and punched his face. He told them he was a citizen. The agent said: “I don’t give a damn. Your parents can’t help you now.” #Blues

The title of the section "ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING REFORM".. The reasoning they offer to destroy the foundation for oversight is due to a lack of reporting which allows for oversight, real or imagined. Real I am sure, at their hand - my glance is cursory only.
