James Talarico responds to Trump saying Ken Paxton should debate him: "Ball's in your court, Ken." Paxton has refused to accept debate invitations at least FIVE times. Is he just a gutless, spineless coward or does he simply realize he has far too much to hide? Or both? 🤔

I’m so f*cking sick of the corruption in this administration. Trump’s ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, pressured a MAGA donor to pay off $100,000 in credit card debt while offering access to Trump officials. And she wanted it done without a paper trail. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Trump showed up in Texas looking for cheers. Instead, his rally turned into absolute chaos. Protesters interrupting, Trump supporters getting physical, shouting matches, and security scrambling. So much for that Paxton boost.

The Trump admin has declined to invite election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to witness the midterms — meaning observers from the group won't be at a U.S. election for the first time in more than two decades.

Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decades
The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.
