I Tweet things that I think are interesting, not necessarily agree with all of it.

After another press release from AG Ken Paxton's office about arresting undocumented people, I asked his office in a January records request for all arrests his office has made under its 287(g) agreement with ICE. Today, the office told me that they are not arresting people. 🤨

Last week, Texas AG Ken Paxton announced that his office had arrested 35 undocumented people they turned over to ICE. So, I asked via an open records requests for arrest reports and any other relevant docs related to the apprehensions. The AG's office says there aren't any:

@BrazilBrian It almost feels both want an unproductive meeting to shore up domestic support.

Lula reportedly will visit Trump in Washington this week. The two leaders’ interests converge on critical minerals (Brazil is #2 reserves, but lacks capital & expertise to exploit; US urgently needs to diversify supply ex-China) and organized crime (Lula looking to show tougher stance pre-election and also avoid FTO designation for Brazilian PCC gang) — but — no one I know understands the timing of this visit! Sudden and comes at odd moment in political cycle for both

If Jeff Bezos can drop $10 million to sponsor the Met Gala, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

@JohnDalyBooks If Congress was serious, they would call her to testify and then proceed to quickly impeach and remove. Then again, no reason to believe her given her history.

@MackLatimerTX Also, those "profits" are a very small margin to invest in new equipment, maintenance of existing equipment, facilities renovations and expansions. A true non profit, with ZERO profits, would not be able to do any of that.

@ojfl @PhilWMagness @lionel_trolling I would disagree and say, why 'we're' all the sudden hung up on the connection between 'socialism' and 'nazism' has everything to do w/ the left's dislike of the Israel status quo.

@PhilWMagness @ojfl @lionel_trolling Israel has many characteristics of a fascist state which, lbh, is why your 'reaction' is happening now (perceived threat to Israel) but not previously. do we need to go into this?

@DarrigoMelanie Why? I am not sure Musk is mentally stable, but this is certainly not the reason why he may not be.

@JohnDalyBooks @workinwithwords Hayes and Goldberg turned their revulsion of Trump into a cottage industry, while courting Democrat subscriptions - only after claiming their publication was going to be "post-Trump" oriented to collect seed capital. I have no time for those smug, useful idiots.

@pernicious_jest @lionel_trolling Not sure what Israel has to do with this, but @PhilWMagness is a well known Trump supporter. He never criticized him and his administration... <sarc/> A simple click on his profile would answer your question.

@ArnelBenoit @JohnDalyBooks @rolandsmartin He would not have been at the Bulwark. I could see him at The Dispatch, but he was a syndicated columnist for the Washington Post. He would probably still be there, like George Will.

Agreed. For those who don't remember how disgusted Krauthammer had become with Fox commentators carrying water for Trump, here's just one reminder:

@JohnDalyBooks The same with Charles Krauthammer.

NEW: Paul Pressler is among the most influential figures you may have never heard of. The onetime judge remade the Southern Baptist Convention, and helped forge the marriage between the GOP & white evangelicals — all while allegedly abusing for decades. A long look at his legacy:
