Wake up #Texas. Ken Paxton doesn't deserve to stay in office. #VoteBlue It's time to start flipping tables.
Now we know why Ken Paxton and his moron buddies were pushing the “Where is James Talarico?” narrative this weekend. The timeline fell apart. Federal laws were possibly broken. The smear collapsed.
The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that Paxton spent New Year’s Eve 2024 in Dubai with two men indicted in a massive U.S. health care fraud case. One donated $190,000 to Paxton’s campaign, including $25,000 after his indictment.
The party also included Paxton’s girlfriend, Tracy Duhon, while he was still married to Angela Paxton. You know, the one who humiliated herself in a political ad urging Texans to vote for her husband (by voting down ticket), even while divorcing him over this exact “alleged” adultery. Apparently, keeping the seat in the family matters more than having a shred of self-respect.
And the Dubai party is only part of the story.
A joint investigation by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found that Paxton has taken nearly 1,000 such trips with a state-funded security detail since taking office in 2015. The bill to Texas taxpayers? $3.3 million. Even during the three months he was suspended from office while awaiting his impeachment trial in 2023, he took at least 17 trips with state police accompanying him.
Texas Taxpayers paid the bill.
And this is not the first time Paxton has faced serious allegations. He was impeached by the Texas House over accusations of bribery and abuse of office, indicted on state securities-fraud charges, and sued by whistleblowers who alleged retaliation after reporting misconduct.
Trump was even reportedly warned damaging revelations about Paxton were coming. He endorsed him anyway. Because he’s desperate.
So while Paxton and his allies were busy trying to manufacture a scandal around James Talarico, voters were left with more questions about Paxton’s own record, his associates, his travel, his ex-wife, and the money flowing into his campaign.
Texas taxpayers deserve answers. Texas voters deserve better.
#MAGA @KenPaxtonTX hate to break it to you but this story is not true. #VoteBlue #Texas because enough of this bullshit.
NEW: We obtained the full six minute audio of the Lindner recording. The employee there repeatedly denied anyone named “James Talarico” was in her system at all. Only towards the end did she say someone had checked out that day.

Austin Statesman: Millionaire Ken Paxton backs cuts to federal benefits in leaked audio: ‘We have to suck it up’, cutting healthcare from the middle class is sucking it up.
He is against making millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share of taxes, but then again they're the ones whose pocket he fills and tell him what to do.

Ken Paxton plans to cut Social Security and Medicare.
He’s telling seniors to “suck it up” while he owns 15 homes and increases his net worth up to $27 million.
Ken Paxton doesn’t serve us. He serves himself.

THAT'S NOT SOCIALISM, FATHEAD, THAT'S A BIZARRE FEVER DREAM THAT EXISTS NOWHERE EXCEPT IN THE MOST MAGA-ADDLED BRAIN.
And I think I speak for every sane, intelligent American when I say that we are f#cking DONE hearing you blow the "men in women's sports" dogwhistle. It's literally like a lightning strike, it's so rare. And, in the end, so irrelevant. Stop trying to pretend you care about women using this stupid phrase: every policy choice you've made and every piece of rhetoric out of your rampantly misogynistic mouths proves otherwise.
The stakes have never been higher this November! You can vote for the DO NOTHING REPUBLICAN communists to continue to raise your TAXES, crush our farmers and ranchers, more wars, or you can DEFEAT the #Republican communists by #VotingBlue in November.
The stakes have never been higher this November!
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “You can vote for the radical Left Dumocrat communists to loot your wealth, raise your taxes by 5 trillion dollars… annihilate borders, crush Nebraska farmers and ranchers… or you can DEFEAT the dumcorat communists…you must vote Republican!”

Trump’s regime has done nothing that isn’t self-serving. It has criminally redacted, blocked, and threatened anyone pushing for the Epstein files. It has waged war on anyone who crossed him, and on countries that posed no immediate threat and already had agreements with the United States.
He takes credit for other people’s work, slaps his name on whatever catches his eye when he’s not dozing off (yes, Biden wasn’t awake either), and is busy building monuments to himself. He promised action on literally everything “Day One”, checks, lower prices, healthcare, education and delivered none of it.
He staffed every office with undereducated, inexperienced playground bullies and handed our tax dollars to millionaires and foreign countries.
I could go on. You get the point. Ill and most of America will take our chances come November.

If Trump’s banning of the free press because they are asking tough questions doesn’t alarm you, then you are complete fools.
The Republicans are TRAITORS to our Constitution who have chosen TRUMP and ISRAEL over the American people.
Vote out these AIPAC and Trump sycophants!
