Ken Paxton is selling off Texas — our land, our water, our communities. Data centers bankroll Paxton, they get tax breaks, and you get stuck with the bill. We can’t afford Ken Paxton’s corruption. (This ad was made by humans — not AI.)

The measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) protects you against rubella virus. If you are infected with rubella while pregnant, the virus can cause serious birth defects in your baby. #NationalImmunizationAwarenessMonth
A young child wearing a pink toy tiara, pearl necklace, and floral dress plays with a toy tea set while seated beside a white stuffed unicorn with a blue horn. Overlaid text reads: “She thinks ‘Rubella’ is a magical princess.” A banner below states, “Childhood vaccinations keep it that way.” The CDC logo appears in the bottom-right corner. The image promotes childhood vaccination by emphasizing that vaccines protect children from diseases such as rubella.
