Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has officially announced that he is running for Senate. So here's everything you need to know about him—if you care about reality.
Let's start with the fact that he had to take literal ethics classes after he was indicted for securities fraud. (1/5)

The Constitution gives Congress control of tariffs. But Republicans handed that power to Trump like a blank check and the American people are going to have to pay the overdraft fees!.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

Dear Democrats: Call for hearings and resignations every day now. This national security breach would land anyone else in Leavenworth. Between this and billionaires cutting programs for regular Americans, Dems have plenty of tangible evidence as to why the Republican party is a danger to all of us.
