NEW AD: Today on House Hunters, Ken Paxton is shopping for a new house. Will he buy the three-story luxury lodge in Oklahoma? The condos at a wellness resort in Utah? The ocean-view property in Hawaii? (Spoiler alert: He won’t take one — he’ll take 15.)

If you did a 30 second digital ad of Republicans accused of kiddie diddling, rape, or physical abuse just in the last year I bet focus groups wouldn’t even believe how many names are mentioned

🚨Exclusive🚨: I have exculpatory evidence in what is easily the dumbest congressional oversight episode of the year...maybe the decade. I was at the Iowa v. MD game & just looked at my pics & sure enough, someone who looks like Jack Smith is sitting in Sec 109, Row 1. Complete & total vindication!

Many of us who live in Seattle don't have a ton of personal space. That's why the public spaces we all share are so important. My proposed budget includes $1.4 million for 12 new public restrooms across Seattle so everyone can explore our beautiful city with comfort and confidence.

When Mayor Mamdani was in the Democratic primary, I ranked him second (behind Brad Lander). I had moved from NYC before the general election, but I vociferously supported Mamdani over Cuomo. Many Jewish friends asked how I could “support an anti-Semite”. I responded, “I wouldn’t and I’m not”.

What did we learn today? That Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clack fan and that Senator Eric Schmitt is a dirtbag! The senator mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes and tried to accuse Jack Smith of perjury. Epic fail. I'm still a fan of Jack Smith. A real American patriot. 🇺🇸

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

The narrative that Dems are desperate is ridiculous. The GOP has to play defense on blood red states like Iowa, Kansas, Alaska, and Texas. The beta schtick isn’t working. Paxton is dodging a debate on Fox with Talarico and El-Sayed is consolidating support in Michigan.

Later in the thread. Two problems: (1) many of these folks are *not* undocumented—they’re just removable; and (2) in any event, whether they received the process that is due before being deported to somewhere they might be tortured is, in fact, much of what’s *actually being litigated.*
“To be clear, this is a big win for President Trump and gives him an important tool to ensure that illegal aliens are promptly removed after receiving all process due.”

No one is contesting whether third-country removals are *ever* permitted; the litigation is over whether individuals are entitled to notice & an opportunity to prove that they face torture or other mistreatment in that country before they can be removed. Good luck figuring that out from the tweet.
