  1. Ken Paxton is leaving office as Texas's attorney general (yay!), and so now comes the hard part: who ought to replace him in our de facto one-party dominant state?

  2. "Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson and Attorney General Nick Brown have issued a strong condemnation of recent federal immigration enforcement actions following the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota.

    "During a news conference held Monday morning in the Governor’s Conference Room at the Capitol in Olympia, Ferguson described the events as “un-American” and “outrageous in the extreme.”

    "ICE is, to be blunt, completely and totally out of control," Ferguson said.

    "The controversy stems from the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital, and Renee Good, also 37, by ICE and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis.

    "These incidents have sparked national outrage and protests, including in Washington."
