Back in the day, lawmakers were suckers. Ten years ago it was revealed that Paxton lost $100,000 and King lost $46,000.
- Oh, man.
- Wise County Judge J.D. Clark has posted on Facebook a series of great photographs showing the work at the top the courthouse. I'm feel like a kid watching those guys work whenever I'm outside and look up.
- If this story recounts all the evidence they've got, that case is beyond extremely weak.
- I think its a very bad look for the New York AG to tweet the daily interest that Trump is accruing after his fraud judgment.
- I'm also not a big fan of the optics of discussing a ceasefire in Gaza while holding an ice cream cone.
- For a man who takes bribes and has affairs, he sure does hate all vices.
- Missed this sentence last Friday.
- My favorite photojournalist, Fox4Terry, was on the job last night.
- Ken Paxton is waging a war against three Republican ultra-conservative judges on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals because they said what has always been the law: Elected D.A.'s have exclusive jurisdiction to prosecute voter fraud and not the AG. It was a no-brainer of a decision. But Paxton has gone after them with a Trump-like lie that he had his authority "stripped." Now even Trump himself is promoting the lie. (Hey, I can't stand all three of the judges because they never saw a prosecution case they didn't like and would not uphold. But they are being unfairly attacked.)
- If you want a deep dive on the guy who set himself on fire over the weekend, here's a gift link. (And whatever you do, don't search for the the video he shot of his final moments. Even the blurred out version with audio is nightmare material.)
- This Business Second™. I bet the two chains give up on the merger instead of fighting for it.
- Legal nerdy stuff: In the Supreme Court yesterday, the Texas Solicitor General tried to defend the unconstitutional Texas social media law and actually uttered the phrase, "Sir, this is a Wendy's." If the following makes no sense, that's a pretty good indication of how bad of a job he did.
- If you drive through Bridgeport on 380, you better take a lunch because of all the excessively long red lights.
