Last year, I was proud to sign the landmark KIND Act into law — and now I’m proud to see Illinois has been ranked #1 in the nation for kinship care. I applaud the tireless efforts of DCFS to implement our Relative Caregiver Certification program. wandtv.com/news/illinois/…

Ahead of LGBTQ+ Domestic Violence Awareness Day on May 28, a new campaign called “Queer Love Shouldn’t Hurt” is shining a light on the realities many queer survivors face behind closed doors.

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’ @JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case. Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton
