NEW AD: Are you a data center company looking to take over rural Texas? Are you a crime-loving millionaire looking to throw the FBI off your scent? Are you a child predator looking to get out of jail after just 1 day? Call 844-WHOS-KEN to hear what Ken Paxton can do for you!

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.

SanAnto has no love for Abbott. He continually disrupts local projects. He screwed the Alamo redevelopment, the Broadway 2020 project and made us remove our rainbow crosswalks in the gay district. We got him back...we made rainbow sidewalks! #SanAntonio #GoSpursGo

This is stupid. There is an easy fix for Social Security: raise the tax limit. Currently income up to $184,500 is taxable for SS. Why? Those with higher incomes can afford to contribute to the welfare of society as a whole. Raise the limit to $500,000 and we can stop having this fake crisis.

Man of a Thousand About Faces: Cornyn can’t convince voters in his own party that he’s even marginally authentic. How else can one explain that even after spending some $70 million to fight off a challenge from a turd of a candidate like Paxton, the best he could do was capture 41.9% of the vote.
