John Oliver lists off just some of Ken Paxton’s scandals: “Paxton spent nearly 9 years under indictment for securities fraud... He was also accused of bribery and abuse of office by eight of his own top deputies... But wait, because I'm still not done.”

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

If Trump does a NY Knicks NBA Finals move, and shuts down Oslo so he can sleep at the kings funeral, the Norwegian people will be furious. We don’t want him here. He is not welcome. He is a threat to our allies. He is an ally to our adversaries. The king wouldn’t want him there.

ICE is murdering people because the Trump regime wants ICE to murder people. If the regime didn't want ICE to murder people, it would publicly crack down on ICE agents who murder people. But the regime doesn't. Because it wants ICE to murder people.
