This new ad is devastating for Ken Paxton. His former director of law enforcement — a lifelong Republican who helped expose the allegations that led to his impeachment — is endorsing Democrat James Talarico. When people who worked closest to you say you’re unfit for office, voters should listen.

If the American people don’t overwhelmingly reject and repudiate what is happening with this govt, Republican Congress, and Supreme Court this November, then this Republic is doomed. We can survive a criminal regime for a short term, but we can’t survive an ignorant populace.

No president gets everything right, but Joe Biden has consistently shown decency, empathy, and a deep commitment to the country. I’m holding him and the Biden family in my thoughts as he takes on this latest challenge with the faith and determination that have always defined him.

Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?

For two years, Mike Johnson refused to hang the plaque on the wall honoring police officers who defended the Capitol on J6 against a mob of violent rioters, even though a law was passed to mandate it. But he supports paying over a billion dollars to the criminal rioters.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.
