Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates. So I called his cell to invite him to a debate on Fox News. He didn’t pick up.

Wait, a man who drove his wife to suicide by proving how popular he is with the ladies stole money from black kids for their health to fund an entourage to prove how important he is? It's *almost* as if RFK, Jr. is a truly horrible, insecure person!

"RKF took money earmarked to provide health care for Black infants and spent it on his personal security detail" is a ludicrous headline. Comic book villainy.

CNN is about to travel the same dark path of WaPo and CBS News. They will say it's not true. They will ask you to ignore what you see and disbelieve what you hear. Instead, I suggest you support independent media. You can start with Democracy Docket but there are many others. demdock.com/4w6emld

The lawyer for the Venezuelan man shot by ICE yesterday says he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to ICE detention while the bullet was still inside of him, and that in Pearsall he's not received any pain meds and was forced to sleep on the floor.

A DoorDash driver did not pose a threat when we was shot in the back by ICE goons. They then refused to render aid and so a local police officer had to intervene and find the bullet hole. The bullet is still in his back after a day & they didn't give him medication for the pain. Sadistic monsters.
