John Oliver lists off just some of Ken Paxton’s scandals: “Paxton spent nearly 9 years under indictment for securities fraud... He was also accused of bribery and abuse of office by eight of his own top deputies... But wait, because I'm still not done.”

Ken Paxton: The criticism has been that I let a child predator out after one day. Well guess what? They served 60 days.

Let's add Ken Paxton's decision to leave his rental income and multiple mortgages off of his financial disclosures to his laundry list of ethics issues. Texans deserve a senator who's honest and doesn't violate federal disclosure laws. #TXSen

Amazon's own balance sheet presents the most compelling evidence that we are stuck in the Enshittocene, the era in which everything is turning into a pile of shit, because the worst ideas of the worst people now make the most money. 1/

Hieronymus Bosch's 'The Conjuror,' a painting depicting a medieval con artist playing a shell game for an audience of astonished peasant rubes. The image has been altered: the conman now has Jeff Bezos's grinning head, and the mouths of all the peasants have been replaced with inverted Amazon 'Smile' logos, so they are now frowning.
