ProPublica and The Texas Tribune reviewed Ken Paxton's travel records dating back to 2015. Paxton has taken nearly 1,000 trips with a state-funded security detail, costing $3.3 million. The outlets could only connect 138 of those trips and $553,000 in security costs to actual state business.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Considering how brutal ice is, even with children, it makes perfect sense that a parent would try to get his child away from the bastards.

Does the son-in-law live with him? I have enough gop family members to know they have no problem telling their kids "if you're under my roof, you live by rules" and meaning it.

I did not, in fact, hear Collins say he rejects white supremacy. He said he rejected racism, but specifically did not say white supremacy, as the question posed.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

This guy is a turd, but publicly eviscerating a member of the trump regime this clearly and publicly this close to the election is at least a service. Doesn’t make him a good guy, and he still supports someone even he says is a huge sack of shit.

He's calling out the corruption of trump, and while he is still a shitty person, there are right leaning independents and other conservatives who might hear this and say, "These people are grifters." We want them not to vote, or vote blue. This is a guy they might listen to.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
