Ken Paxton to 'vigorously enforce' Ten Commandments requirement amid lawsuits Attorney General Ken Paxton advised schools to comply with Senate Bill 10, promising the state would take on legal fees to defend the law in court.

I forget. Which commandment deals with stealing Montblanc pens from fellow lawyers?

Why are we cracking down on taco trucks in DC? We love taco trucks.

You know, he is President for all Americans regardless of party. He has never understood that.

Trump: "Last month, I signed one big beautiful bill and allowed no tax on Social Security for our great seniors." (This was not in the bill.)

Does anyone have advice on how to best support those Texas Democrats who had to leave the state to attempt to prevent Trump cheating again? I feel I need to pitch in to help.

Abbott wants Texas Dems to be removed from office for "abandoning" their voters for 10 days. Yet my Congressman Sylvester Turner died on March 5th & Abbott didn't call for a replacement election until November with an expect runoff in December. I'll go 10 months without representation. Weird, right?

Remember the old days when something like this would get the Ambassador and Governor fired and maybe prosecuted? How quaint!

I haven't posted on Twitter since it was taken over by a Nazi. So charge me too. And in fact, there are dozens of other apps which I've never used!

Not suspicious at all. The corruption is off the charts with this bunch.

Here in TX CD 18 we are unrepresented due to the Governor waiting until Nov to fill our seat. And now they'll do their best to steal our district through redistricting.

Trump's little fingers all over this. No doubt in my mind.

Not "obliterated "? Shocked. Shocked to find out Trump lied. I'll sit here drinking my Mexican Coke while I wait for Rs to be outraged over this.

Dumbest thing ever. If MLB has to resort to cheap stunts, just cancel the All-star game.

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country.

โ€œNo right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.โ€ โ€“Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.
