Ken Paxton reported 7 homes & $0 rental income. Neighbors say most of them were rented out. He also left mortgages off 3 Utah condos and valued a TX land stake at $50K his business partner says it’s worth $1 million. Ethics experts call this a violation of federal disclosure law. 📰 ProPublica

We have to spread the word Rs are scared and  they’re getting really ugly. Republican outside groups are now committing about $22 million in television advertising to help Paxton, according to the Houston Chronicle.

They’re selling off our heritage. Historic cherry trees bulldozed at East Potomac for his golf course, sequoia country in Yosemite handed to developers and chainsaws — and not a Republican in Congress in sight.

Two senior U.S. officials tell NBC News that military commanders are allowing some Iranian missiles and attack drones to get through air defenses amid an effort to preserve the Pentagon’s shrinking supply of missiles to shoot them down. NBC News’ Courtney Kube reports.

ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.

Watch the goalposts move. First Dems were “socialists.” Now Trump says “communist” 15x in one speech -White House: “you can be a communist or a patriot.” Neither is true. Dem socialists believe in democracy, reject central planning. Real communism - authoritarian rule, abuses. It’s fear not fact.

30+ years of Republican control in Texas. The result? 42nd in education. 41st in school finance. Now they want vouchers to drain what’s left from public schools. This is the Republican record.

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social — Certificate transparency logs show a Vote.gov environment was spun up 4/10 inside the WH’s National Design Studio — the same shop run by an Airbnb billionaire- no Senate confirmation, no IG oversight, and records sealed til 2040. The real Vote.gov belongs to an ind ag.

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Governor Abbott is making every TX taxpayer foot the bill for private school tuition — schools most of us cant afford. That’s not school choice. That’s a two-tiered education system where the wealthy get options and the rest of us get the bill. Abbott’s & his voucher scheme has to go.

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico: “I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.  That’s why I'm supporting you.”

Buybacks of wind energy contracts = paying to stay hooked on fossil fuels. Less clean power. Higher bills. And we hand our grandchildren a dirtier, more dangerous world.

We’re adding roughly $2T a year to the debt, and interest alone is nearing $1T. Tax cuts without revenue to cover them are a major driver—so we borrow more, pay more interest, and leave the bill to our grandchildren

Trump is following the same pattern he always has—reckless spending & long-term damage. Slashing essential programs while pouring $1.4 T into defense, especially during a conflict he’s escalating, isn’t strength—it’s dangerous. Where are the Republicans with enough courage to say: enough is enough?

Think the SAVE Act stops non-citizens from voting? It doesn’t — that’s already illegal and enforced. What it does do is create barriers that affect millions of legal, eligible American voters. Here’s what you need to know

Trump suggested today — that the federal government should “take over” or “nationalize” elections in places he doesn’t like My one happy thought for the day is that he does not have the power to do that! But he hasn’t had the power to do other things he’s done

They tried to cover it up immediately and the Minneapolis police chief refused. Witnesses have been taken to police headquarters and all available off duty police have been called to work. ICE cannot be trusted to tell the truth. Congress must act now. The Courts must stop the foot dragging.

Nothing says ‘representing the people’ like turning off comments so the people can’t speak. If your policies can’t withstand public feedback, that’s a problem.

What happened to “America First”? We’re talking about going into Venezuela, threatening Greenland, tightening blockades on Cuba — all while telling Americans there’s no money for healthcare, disaster relief, food assistance, or seniors.

Where are the Republicans in Congress? For God’s sake — stop this before it gets even worse. High-level discussions are reportedly underway about whether Trump should escalate and strike Venezuela — and how. The fact that this is even being considered is alarming. We need accountability right now.

✅ If Democrats can’t stop this CR, the “Big Beautiful Bill” goes into effect — and here’s what’s inside: Cuts built into BBB: • SNAP (food aid): $290–300 billion over 10 years (~$29–30 billion each year)

jesbird.bsky.social @jesbird.bsky.social · 27/10/2025
Look folks -If the CR passes with the cuts in it, these cuts happen just later. If Democrats stop the cuts, the cuts don’t happen. There’s no middle ground.

Trump’s new Defense plan quietly outlines a “National Guard response force” trained in crowd control and civil unrest, to be deployed across all 50 states by April 2026. Let that sink in. They’re not preparing to leave office; they’re preparing to lock the country down.

On MSNBC Barbara McQuade wrote an opinion piece The 'really good lawyer' tapped to take on Comey was picked for one very Trumpian reason in it, she said”we have people like Secretary of War Pete Hegseth”. The US government has no secretary of war with a Secretary of Defense.

#GOPCongress — D.C.’s National Guard is already armed (Aug. 22, 2025). Now Trump is targeting Chicago & eyeing forced redistricting in other states. This isn’t safety. It’s a power grab. When will you wake up?
