Sawyer Hackett: "For the past 6 elections, Ken Paxton (who is running for the Senate) has committed voter fraud in Texas. For more than two years, Paxton has been registered to vote at an address where he doesn’t live — while leading the fake crusade against voter fraud."

From #WhiskeyLeaks via @SonsOfLibertyOfficial: “Texas, testosterone politics, and the fake masculinity of men who confuse lunch with leadership.”
A few quotes:
Barbecue is not a governing program. Testosterone is not a character reference. And calling another man weak because you think he eats the wrong food is not masculinity. It is schoolyard politics with a bigger donor list.
…
If your best argument against a man is what you imagine he had for lunch, you do not have an argument. You have a lunch fixation.

The fake-alpha crowd loves to talk about strength, but it keeps defining strength downward until it fits inside a bumper sticker. Eat meat. Talk loud. Insult women. Mock compassion. Worship dominance. Never apologize. Never reflect. Never admit fault. Never take responsibility unless the responsibility can be subcontracted to a staffer, lawyer, wife, intern, or enemy.
That is not strength. That is emotional credit card debt.
Real strength is steadier than that. It can handle disagreement without needing a nickname. It can take rejection without turning into a sewer pipe. It can lose an argument without inventing a conspiracy. It can stand next to women without treating them as props, prizes, servants, threats, or proof of masculine worth.

Of course he does. Paxton was a full fledged member of the #SeditiousConspiracy to overturn the #2020election. He brought that lawsuit to #SCOTUS to nullify Biden’s win.
He’s also a #criminal, his own staff tried to get him fired from being the #Texas Attorney General.

Most Dallas City Hall concept submissions favor saving I.M. Pei landmark over demolition
Most of more than 400 ideas submitted urged repairs, while others pushed for redevelopment.
“Fix the building,. Adjust the budget to cover maintenance. Act like a responsible property owner.”
“Dallas City Hall and Plaza belong to the citizens of Dallas. For this reason alone, it must be preserved as the ‘people’s house’.”

Mavs owner Miriam Adelson dwarfs Texas sports rivals in political giving, pushes gambling
Her $432 million in donations eclipses other team owners, Rockets' Tilman Fertitta & Cowboys' Jerry Jones & his family.
Her political donations surged in 2012, two years after the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling allowed unlimited contributions to political groups.

Running on faith: The message powering James Talarico’s Democratic win
"There is an element of compassion that is entirely missed from this world of walls and razor wire and ICE raids we've seen in Minneapolis and across the country. We still need to see how this plays out in November, but I think this would resonate in border counties among Tejanos who have this rich Catholic tradition of social justice."
