Texas AG Ken Paxton hasn't made any move to prosecute Elon Musk over distribution of alleged child sex imagery on X — which doesn't age-verify either visitors or those depicted — despite being REAL quick in the past to prosecute consensual, legal content starring grown-ass adults.
Texas Democrats demand AG investigation into X for alleged child sex content
The joint letter from the House leaders says sexualized material is being created at a rate that should trigger a Texas law that would require age verification to use the site.

But then he started hanging out with Republicans. 🧵

Just want to say that how this goes depends entirely on if the National Guard is directed to protect protesters or if they are told to defer to local law enforcement. If it's the latter, protesters will continue to be hurt, maimed, and murdered.

It’s been one blunder after another during the early days of the Tony Dokoupil era at ‘CBS Evening News.’ From night one, the broadcast has been marred by technical mess-ups, bizarre attempts to suck up to the Trump administration, and low-key humiliation by President Trump.

When Democrats folded in the last government shutdown—rescuing the GOP majority from itself and helping them pass a budget, giving validation to the Trump administration’s lawbreaking—the savvy politics knowers explained that folding was clearly worth it because it got the Epstein Files released.
No federal judge has the power or authority to make DOJ comply with the mandatory provisions of the Epstein Act, says Pam Bondi. It's unenforceable and meaningless. Essentially, DOJ is a lawless if not criminal enterprise, not a law enforcement agency, at this point.

Q: Can you explain how your healthcare plan will affect premiums?
TRUMP: It's a tremendous thing. It's called the great healthcare plan. And we're gonna get tremendous, uh, reductions through, uh, if you look at prescription drugs, they're gonna come down by numbers that have never been seen before

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.
