WOAH. Texas GOP Executive Director Jen Hall and another top party official just resigned. In her letter to party Chair Abraham George, Hall said she "cannot in good conscience continue to work this way" but doesn't elaborate. Hall and George are both longtime Tim Dunn allies. This is...interesting.

Tarrant County is a lynchpin in the Republican party's control over Texas, which is a cornerstone of Republican power nationally.
This is a State Senate district just outside of Fort Worth that Trump carried by 20 pts last year. If Texas Dems can get their act together and pump even the slightest amount of real money into this race (admittedly a big if), it's winnable.

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”

They’re targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James for one reason: she had the courage to hold Donald Trump accountable.
This is political weaponization of our courts, plain and simple—and proof that when you stand up to corruption, they come for you.
