What Vivek Ramaswamy has done here is despicable beyond words

New Talarico ad running statewide: "Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right. "I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile. "I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."

Trump just threatened a reporter in the Oval Office moments ago: “Listen to you. Hey, I'm not pointing. You better, you better, I don't know who the hell you are, but you better be careful." This man is unhinged. Vote for the people who will hold him in check.

Donald Trump SUED California to stop votes from being counted. Now his own DOJ admits they could be stopping AMERICAN CITIZENS from voting. You cannot make this up.

Trapped now, Donald Trump will do something insane.

New: The list of 20,000 non-citizens DOJ provided to Los Angeles election officials includes duplicates, cancelled registration and "high percentage of U.S. born-persons," LA officials say theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

Baby Anhelina and her mom Inna were killed by Russia yesterday. Anhelina was just over a year old. Her mom, Inna Mariukhna, was a primary school teacher. They were in the park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, when a Russian drone attacked. Little Anhelina was killed in her stroller. Her mom died of her injuries in hospital. Another girl killed in the strike was just 11 years old. Six people lost their lives from that Russian strike. All of them had simply been spending time in the park. At least 15 more were injured, including seven kids. Deepest condolences...

Trump: “Russia, frankly, has treated Ukraine pretty well. They haven’t really done much.” WHAT. A. MONSTROUS. FUCKING. CUNT.

OUTRAGEOUS! Putin couldn’t stop Ukraine from hammering Russian supply lines. Now, according to Russian military bloggers, restrictions on Starlink, built by Elon Musk’s SpaceX are doing some of the work for him. Those supply routes keep Russia’s occupation alive, delivering troops, weapons and fuel. So why is Washington making Ukraine’s job harder and Putin’s easier? Trump calls it America First. From where I’m sitting, it looks a hell of a lot like PUTIN FIRST.

If you are in Texas and you are considering Voting for Ken Paxton, please just read this post in full before making your final decision: Everyone else, please share. Financial misconduct and corruption allegations - Violated Texas securities law (2014). State regulators reprimanded Paxton and fined him $1,000 for soliciting investment clients without the required registration. This was an established regulatory violation. - Indicted on three felony charges (2015). Prosecutors accused him of securities fraud and acting as an unregistered investment adviser representative. He denied wrongdoing. - Accused of misleading investors about commissions. Prosecutors alleged he recruited investors into technology company Servergy without disclosing that he was being compensated. - Agreed to pay nearly $300,000 to resolve the securities fraud prosecution (2024). His pretrial agreement required restitution, community service and legal ethics education. The criminal charges were subsequently dismissed without a conviction or admission of guilt. - Impeached by the Republican-controlled Texas House (2023). The House approved 20 articles alleging bribery, abuse of office and other misconduct. The Texas Senate subsequently acquitted him on the 16 articles considered at trial. - Accused of using the attorney general's office to help wealthy donor Nate Paul. Former senior aides alleged that Paxton intervened in legal matters involving Paul, who had donated to his campaign. - Accused of using government authority against a donor's enemies. House investigators alleged Paxton pursued investigations targeting people involved in disputes with Paul. - Accused of interfering with federal investigations. Former aides alleged that Paxton tried to obtain confidential investigative information concerning Paul and obstruct cooperation with law enforcement. - Accused of accepting expensive home renovations from a donor. Investigators alleged Paul helped fund major renovations to Paxton's Austin home, raising potential bribery questions. - Accused of making a $122,000 payment to conceal the renovations. Impeachment managers alleged that Paxton transferred money to a Paul-associated company after his relationship with Paul came under investigation. These accusations were not established by a criminal conviction. Whistleblowers, secrecy and alleged retaliation - Reported to the FBI by his own senior officials (2020). Seven senior aides reported concerns about possible corruption involving Paxton and Nate Paul. - Fired or lost multiple whistleblowers. Several officials who raised concerns were fired, resigned or were placed on leave. They alleged unlawful retaliation. - Agreed to a $3.3 million whistleblower settlement in 2023. Paxton's office negotiated a settlement with four former employees. His request for legislative funding to cover it helped trigger the impeachment investigation. The proposed settlement was not proof of wrongdoing. - Accused of using a burner phone and secret email accounts. Impeachment investigators alleged he used these methods to conceal communications and meetings with Paul. - Accused of using a fake name for Uber trips. Investigators alleged an alias was used to conceal trips involving Paul and visits to a woman with whom Paxton was having an affair. - Accused of avoiding his security detail to conceal activities. House impeachment managers alleged he evaded normal protective arrangements to keep certain meetings and movements secret. Personal scandals and questionable associations - Admitted having an extramarital affair. His relationship with a former Senate staffer became a significant issue during impeachment proceedings. - Accused of benefiting from his donor employing his mistress. Investigators alleged Nate Paul hired the woman with whom Paxton was having an affair, potentially creating a personal benefit linked to official favors. - His wife filed for divorce citing adultery (2025). State Sen. Angela Paxton filed for divorce after more than 30 years of marriage. The proceedings were subsequently sealed. - Celebrated New Year's 2025 in Dubai with indicted businessmen. Video showed Paxton at a party with Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, who were facing federal fraud charges and were outside the United States. Both have pleaded not guilty. - Accepted approximately $190,000 from a businessman later indicted for fraud. Ahmed contributed that amount to Paxton's political operation, reportedly including $25,000 after his indictment. Accepting a lawful political contribution is not itself proof of misconduct. - Received a major contribution from a businessman linked to Chinese investment. An October 20, 2026 report identified a $150,000 contribution from Wan Bridge cofounder Ting Qiao, despite Paxton's campaign rhetoric about Chinese influence. The donor connection does not establish an illegal contribution. Election-related controversies - Attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Paxton filed a Supreme Court lawsuit seeking to invalidate presidential election results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin—four states Biden won. - Promoted unsubstantiated election-fraud allegations. His 2020 lawsuit relied on claims that did not withstand scrutiny. The Supreme Court dismissed the case for lack of standing. - Faced a State Bar investigation over his election lawsuit. Texas legal disciplinary authorities scrutinized his efforts to overturn the election. The investigation itself is not a finding of professional misconduct.

Burn in hell, Trump.

PS I’ve met Putin many times and listened in on calls with him as well. I also speak Russian. Yes he is soft spoken, deliberate, and measured. So what? He’s still a killer. He still launched a barbaric invasion of Ukraine, that has produced tragic loss of life not seen on this scale in Europe since WWII.

Trump has a new scheme to bribe farmers in swing states with welfare checks of taxpayer money because fuel has gone up so much because of his war. But only money for them, not for anyone else in the country. No, we have to keep paying higher prices AND we pay Trump’s voters.

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?

He kept the House closed most of the year to protect pedophiles. That will be Mike Johnson's legacy.

How much more fucking proof do we need that the White House is being run from Moscow??

Dear America, This is right after the mid-terms. Don't vote for the people who are going to hurt you.
