Adam Hoffman was charged with sexually abusing a child and was facing life in prison. Ken Paxton tried to give him a sweetheart deal with only one day served in prison. Ken Paxton is a danger to our kids and belongs nowhere near the Senate.

It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous such a declaration would be for American democracy. It would mean a president is attempting to sidestep the Constitution, which empowers states to run elections, in order to prevent his party from losing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Could Trump take over voting by declaring a ‘national emergency’?
Advocates agree such an attempt would be blatantly unconstitutional but still worry that such an emergency order could suppress voting nonetheless.

Republicans used Smith's hearing today — the coda of a 2-year investigation — to hurl insults at him and home in on the procedures he used in his Trump probe. They spent no time rebutting his findings about Trump or the substance of the charges. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Republicans wanted Jack Smith to give them a smoking gun. They got a gaffe instead.
The former special counsel’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee was marked by personal insults rather than new revelations.
