Cindy Hyde-Smith is supported by fertilizer companies ripping off farmers, millions from a pro-AI super PAC pushing for costly data center development and everything in between. It's pretty clear who she answers to. As senator, the only people I'll owe anything to are the people of Mississippi.

This morning, we filed a new lawsuit to block implementation of President Trump’s unlawful executive order interfering with vote-by-mail elections. With the start of the general election season mere weeks away, this new rule could directly threaten voters’ access to the ballot.
This morning, AG Rayfield filed a new lawsuit to block implementation of President Trump’s unlawful executive order interfering with vote-by-mail elections. Since taking office for a second term, Trump has attempted to unconstitutionally meddle with state elections, this time using the United States Postal Service as a tool to decide who gets a ballot—and who doesn’t. Our coalition first challenged this move in April; earlier this week, the Supreme Court ruled we acted too early—and now that USPS has issued a new rule implementing the President’s demands, we are suing again. Why this matters: Oregon pioneered vote-by-mail more than two decades ago. Mail-in voting has since become a model for the rest of the country and is prized by Oregonians across the political spectrum for making voting more secure, more accessible, and more convenient. With the start of the general election season mere weeks away, this new rule could directly threaten voters’ access to the ballot.

The whole story about Ken Paxton, the stolen Mont Blanc pen, and a courthouse videotape, is just one wonderful detail after another. Here you go:
Related Texas comptroller-elect shuffles personnel, promises accurate state revenue estimate

AUSTIN - In the great pen caper, Texas' incoming Attorney General Ken Paxton drew a Blanc. It happened last year at a Collin County courthouse, where lawyer Joe Joplin rushed through the security stop, needing to get to a hearing. A few hours later, he realized he'd left a tray of three pens at the metal detector. One was a gift from his wife — a $1,000 Montblanc. Mon Dieu. "It came back like a Kodak moment. I knew I'd put it in a separate bin and that second plate didn't come out," Joplin recalled in a recent interview. He rushed to the security entrance and the pen was gone. Joplin talked to the sheriff's deputies, who told him that shortly after Joplin went through, another man picked up a tray of pens on top of the machine. Joplin said he's not into fancy pens, but it had sentimental value. He asked about security cameras and whether he might view the tape. The deputies were unable to help. Joplin, frustrated and a bit frightened of telling his wife, wrote to an old friend, "just to vent." The boyhood pal was Collin County Sheriff Terry Box. In an Aug. 14, 2013, email, Joplin recounted the details. "The loss of my pen is my responsibility," he wrote, but he also thought a lost and found procedure might be instituted.Box is a sheriff who likes to see lost items returned. He ordered up the videotape. On the security video, the sheriff said he saw several people go through the machine after Joplin. And then he recognized the guy who picked up the pens — state Sen. Ken Paxton of McKinney. "It looked like he took a pen and put it in his pocket out of the tray," Box said. He asked a deputy to call Paxton and see whether he had it. He looked. He did. A day or so later, Paxton gave the pricey rollerball pen to a deputy to return to Joplin, the sheriff said. Paxton spokesman Anthony Holm called it a simple mistake. "Fifteen months ago a pen or pens was shuffled between two attorneys in a courthouse. This is far from newsworthy, as the pen was returned when the error was realized," Holm said. Joplin said he — and his wife — welcomed it back. "I don't want to cause anyone any harm. I was very grateful," he said. He declined to speculate on what might have happened. "You can surmise that," Joplin said.

Trump has clashed with so many AGs (Bondi, Barr, Sessions, Yates). Why is Blanche different? They agree on what an AG should be: part puppet, part weapon, and part cheerleader. Blanche doesn’t want to be our attorney general; he wants to be Trump’s attorney general. Those are 2 very different jobs.

Being Trump’s attorney general is an awful job. Todd Blanche apparently doesn’t care.
Blanche has made it clear that he doesn’t want to be the American people’s attorney general; he wants to be Trump’s attorney general.
