Hey Paxton @texasdemocrats.bsky.social are just leaving you for “Biblical reasons” you know, like your wife. But instead of objecting to your sexual perversion, @democrats.org just care about feeding hungry kids, and representing ALL Texans.

The entire Trump administration practices this. Russia helped Trumo win, Trumps’s own Sec State, Marco Rubio, led the GO Committee that reached that conclusion. DO NOT LET STEPHEN MILLER & TRUMP CHANGE HISTORY.

The article only mentions Crypto.com's $10 million contribution to Trump's super PAC, but doesn't mention that after Trump took office, the SEC dropped their lawsuit against the company. His Truth Social company is now partnering with them to sell crypto ETFs.

When the cryptocurrency entrepreneur Eric Schiermeyer heard that President Trump was holding small group dinners with major donors, he saw opportunity.
Mr. Schiermeyer reached out to a lobbyist with connections in Mr. Trump’s orbit, who arranged for him to attend a dinner with the president at his private Mar-a-Lago club on March 1 in exchange for donations to a pro-Trump PAC called MAGA Inc. totaling $1 million.
The personal and corporate donations were among dozens of seven- and eight-figure contributions to MAGA Inc. from crypto and other interests revealed in a campaign finance filing on Thursday night that hinted at the access Mr. Trump accords those willing to pay.
At the dinner, Mr. Schiermeyer, who had never given a federal political donation before, presented an idea for a cryptocurrency called “U.S.A. Token” that would be distributed to every citizen, according to interviews and a flier he distributed to attendees that sets out details of the proposal. He hoped it could be su
Cryptocurrency interests, which have benefited from the Trump administration’s dismantling of a yearslong government crackdown and from the Trump family’s financial interest in the industry, appear to have been the most generous industry, accounting for nearly $45 million in donations to MAGA Inc.An affiliate of the exchange Crypto.com gave $10 million, while the crypto services company Blockchain.com donated $5 million. The venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, who are heavily invested in crypto, gave $3 million each. Ondo Finance, which has a partnership with the Trump family’s crypto company, donated $2.1 million to MAGA Inc., on top of $1 million to Mr. Trump’s inauguration.
The scale of Trump's pay-for-access scheme outlined by the @nytimes.com is mindblowing. Crypto contributions resulting in business deals with the Trump family crypto businesses, oil companies buying influence and later reaping benefits from friendly policies, and a $1 million pardon.

Texas Pushes Redistricting Into an Era of ‘Maximum Warfare’
Marc Elias, one of the Democratic Party’s most prominent lawyers, welcomed any converts to his brand of brass-knuckle politics.
“I do not believe, when it comes to elections, that Democrats should ever engage in any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith,” Mr. Elias said.

The cashier at the grocery store told me my total for groceries was $173.34. I demanded they be fired and replaced with a cashier who will tell me I only owe $40.
This is what we’re doing now, right?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but when you openly try to rig elections, you’re admitting that you can’t win unless you cheat.

This is no time to go high. If GOP states redraw maps, then Democratic states should redraw maps.

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated?
We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.
