I've reported first-hand on steel mills in Korea, China, Japan, Illinois, and Mississippi. This is 100% not going to happen. Disagree? Bet me. (Though I'm against online betting. It's just not going to happen.)

Adam Dean Hoffman sexually abused an 8-year-old boy dozens of times. But because he was a good Southern Baptist and loyal Republican, Paxton offered him a 60-days-in-jail plea-bargain. Paxton thinks this was a tough sentence.

Medicaid covers 40% of births & 60% of nursing home residents. Cutting Medicaid will increase infant deaths. Senior deaths & homelessness will increase too. The GOP is counting on you not paying attention. You sure will be when grandma is sleeping on a bench somewhere, or your baby dies. #Pinks
