Instead of Texans sending Ken Paxton to Washington, they should ask where the hell he’s been for the last decade. Here’s what investigators uncovered: 📌 730 workdays: Left blank on Paxton's official calendars, equivalent to nearly 3 years of standard workdays

Reminder: Special interests tied to the data center industry have filled Ken Paxton's campaign coffers with hundreds of thousands of dollars. He's as corrupt as they come and can't be trusted to put Texans first. #TXSen

Q: Mr Paxton, did you commit voter fraud? KEN PAXTON: *walks away* (This is at least the third time just this week he's literally run away from questions of this sort)

Harris County DA Sean Teare: “The tactics of every LEA I’ve ever worked with in no way resemble what ICE is doing. Either they are completely untrained, or intentionally putting themselves in situations where they can justify firing into cars.”

Speaking of scumbags, Ken Paxton has been caught in London with his mistress instead of campaigning for Senate in Texas. No wonder the GOP Is so freaked out about this race.

Since PTSD is being invoked to excuse any and all abuse and misconduct, let us acknowledge where it is most common. .... From my book Recollections of My Nonexistence.

The former Marine David J. Morris, author of a book on post-
traumatic stress disorder, notes that the disorder is far more com-
mon and far more rarely addressed among rape survivors than
combat veterans. He wrote me, “The science on the subject is pretty
clear: according to the New England Journal of Medicine, rape is about
four times more likely to result in diagnosable PTSD than combat.
Think about that for a moment— being raped is four times more psy-
chologically disturbing than going off to a war and being shot at and
blown up. And because there are currently no enduring cultural nar-
ratives that allow women to look upon their survival as somehow he-
roic or honorable, the potential for enduring damage is even greater.”

And yet in their fear of rocking the boat, they've become powerless; the legislative branch of government has, under the leadership of Thune and Johnson, surrendered the power of the purse, the power to declare war, and most of its other powers, except when the Democratic minority prevails.
