Paxton is now seeking a court order to declare the over 50 lawmakers’ seats vacant.

@marcelias.bsky.social tell me this isn’t legal so I don’t freak out.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard β€” the nation’s top intelligence official β€” my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

U.S. may require visa applicants to post bond up to $15,000 to enter country The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to apply to enter the United States.

If you're from a country with a weaker economy or difficult entry requirements into the US: do not spend money on GDC. Do not book a ticket. Do not book a hotel. Do not pay for a visa. Skip that cynical for-profit extortion, or the US will take your money & spit you out.

I spent several hours with my family today. I learned many surprising things, including:
-my sister signed up for a daycare wait-list 20 months before she could actually enroll
-a subsidy means daycare only costs $400/month
-she only paid $60 for her C-section (upgrade to a private hospital room)

I enjoyed chatting with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show."

My thoughts on how we save our democracy are the same today as when we last spoke on "The Colbert Report" in 2010.

We must get big money out of politics.

I introduced a motion to subpoena the Epstein files. We got the votes.

Today, we got the subpoena.

The DOJ has 2 weeks to release the Epstein files to the Oversight Committee. Justice must apply to everyone, no matter how rich, powerful, or well-connected they are.

Yeah, if we’re frank, what we’re seeing is people probing how much overt support they can show for pushing Black people out of public life and making any mention of racism beyond the pale of polite conversation.

Capitol Unsealed: Congress Demands Clintons and DOJ Testify in Escalating Epstein Files Battle WASHINGTON β€” In an extraordinary escalation of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, the House Oversight Committee has issued a sweeping round of subpoenasβ€”targeting not only the Department of Justice…

🚨 The House just subpoenaed the Clintons and top DOJ officials over the Epstein case. Grand jury transcripts, secret files, and long-buried ties are now in Congress’s crosshairs. The pressure’s risingβ€”and the cover-up may be cracking.

A genuine living wage has become a step closer as the Labour Government sets the remit for the Low Pay Commission to set minimum wage recommendations for next year.

It will deliver on a manifesto commitment by moving towards phasing out the 18-20 band & must take into account the cost of living.
