Most of Ken Paxton’s Money Can Be Traced to One Man: Elon Musk
The world’s richest person, who has become the biggest known midterm donor, gave $158 million to a group that quickly spent that much to help Mr. Paxton’s Senate bid in Texas.

If Democrats were being strategic they’d be offering John Fetterman a high engagement twitter account, three BarcaLoungers and a lifetime supply of Fritos to step down from the senate in December.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Olsen’s probe—predicated on the nonsense notion that Trump was the victim of a Deep State plot to deprive him of his civil rights—is especially focused on the Mar-a-Lag0 classified docs case, so problems with his security clearance is a plot twist too implausible for a screenplay.
