This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

@ClueHeywood @ZacharyDonnini @Garrett_Archer It's the party of Trump, not the grand ole party of Bush. Paxton is the most corrupt vermin in the history of Texas.

@ZacharyDonnini @Garrett_Archer lol. Not like I’m some Cornyn fan but what the fuck are we even doing here

Ken Paxton has won the Texas Republican U.S. Senate runoff, defeating John Cornyn and securing the Republican nomination. He will face Democrat James Talarico in the general election, a key race in the battle for control of the Senate this November.

@WesleyHuntTX @KenPaxtonTX Which of Ken's exceptional values? Adultery, using his office for personal gains, paying off whistleblowers from state coffers, impeached by his own party, or letting child rapists go free?

Congratulations to our Republican nominee for the United States Senate, Attorney General @KenPaxtonTX. Tonight’s decisive victory sends an unmistakable message to the political establishment: Texans are ready for bold leadership, and a Senator who will fight unapologetically for the future of this state and this country. Now is the time for Republicans to come together with unity and purpose. The mission ahead is clear, defeat James Talarico in November and keep Texas strong, free, and firmly grounded in the values that made this state exceptional. The stakes are too high for division. Texas deserves victory, and together, we will deliver it.

Pat Ryan on the War Powers vote: "These chickenhawk motherfuckers are gonna send us home for Memorial Day weekend where I'm gonna honor my veterans that I served 27 months in combat with and they're gonna not even give an up or down vote on continuing this war almost 3 months in while Americans are paying almost $5 at the pump. It is fucking pathetic when they use this procedural bullshit argument and every American should just be absolutely outraged about this, it is a disgrace" (Video: @EricMGarcia)

@edwonkkimmy Could there be a lawsuit on adjustments for inflation or to prevent Robinhood dollars from going to vouchers? Sbisd could be close to ok if allowed to adjust for inflation and so much money sent out of district.

If the predictions I’m hearing come true, the entire Texas school finance system is about to fall off a cliff. In a way I haven’t seen in 40 years of education reporting. And a lawsuit isn’t coming in to save us this time. #txlege #txed

youtu.be/F8P-hPVcAgk?si… jump up by elvis Costello sounded so familiar on #colbert but I don't think I'd ever heard it before. Great tune and exceptional deep trax choice with the perfect quartet. Best of luck @StephenAtHome you will be missed. #hellogoodbye

@JohnCornyn Senator, it's time to change your pinned tweet and stop the boot licking. just like Paxton's wife, the felons chose someone else.

@RobertDownen_ One can only hope that felons that stick together, lose together. The funny thing is, all the crazy conspiracies aren't as salacious as Epstein. There is nothing conservative about amoral authoritarian grifters.

I do not think people realize just how ugly the Texas GOP's civil war will be if James Talarico wins. Tensions have been simmering for a decade. Establishment folks would blame the far right for Paxton, a weak candidate; the far right would blame Cornyn for weakening Paxton...

1/n: I could be wrong, of course, but my take about this hantavirus outbreak is less about the actual outbreak and more about what it means in the context of the last two decades and moving forward. Let me explain...

On Hantavirus: a (non-technical) thread. Disclaimer: I am a biology PhD, but not virology/epidemiology. Husbandman is a virology PhD. But I’m told I’m good at communicating science, so here’s my take. #Hantavirus

My son loves @qotsa and played In the Fade for his guitar recital. There is also a bet to see if @joshhommemusic will comment 🤞

History of the USA: - King of England imposes taxes - America declares independence - Things go well for nearly 250 years - America elects a moron - Moron imposes taxes - King of England gets taxes removed

@Mike_kim714 Yep but you can catch your weight in peacock bass after your round

Yo Doral Blue Monster is a freaking hard course 😂

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to call this the greatest piece of prediction market content created to date.

this is amazing

@ElliotKaufman6 On #TacoTuesday we use paper plates!

My wife: . . . you're still going to do the dishes tonight, right?
