Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

The Trump admin is the laziest government in US history. They can't be bothered to learn what tariffs are, or how monetary policy works, or how not to lose a war in the Middle East. The ONLY thing the Trump admin works hard at is protecting the Epsteiners from the Epstein Files. It's so sickening.
