Ken Paxton is the worst state Attorney General in the United States.

All opinions my own, and have no relation to my employer.

but again, genuinely hilarious (derogatory) for a guy whose father was a klansman to say "the presence of nazis in the republican party is because black people wouldn't shut up." oh, is that why nazis immediately began organizing in the wake of donald trump's 2016 victory too?

but the other thing is that this passage makes it clear that rod dreher *cannot see anything about me other than my blackness.* it is so clear that in his mind, my professional output consists of this:
Karite Black: I'm Biggy-Black

i simply cannot imagine the level of delusion and sheer ignorance it takes to believe that the rise of Republican Nazis is some outside imposition and not something that has come from within the American right.

the founding fathers: we are doing a new country because we hate mercantilism

Republicans: the only thing we love more than the founding fathers is our God emperor, Donald Mercantilism
It's genuinely fascinating that the US president keeps announcing that he just flat out doesn't know what trade is, he legit doesn't appreciate the concept of exchange and instead views economic activity through the lens of a dragon attempting to maximise its gold hoard to sit upon.
Well, that took longer than I thought, but he hath spoken:

Western Liberalism and the treating of every individual as sacred so fundamentally contradicts human nature at its core.

And yet while we may never quite achieve it perfectly, it is an ideal worth fighting for. Our ability to chase it is what separates us from beasts.
This is incidentally why "loving one another" is harder than it seems. We can profess to it all that we want but in practice we start doing things like "who's my neighbor" and "are we really sure they deserve it"
It is a sobering realization that even in the most ostensibly egalitarian societies we look for people to look down upon in an acceptable manner

The far right's commitment to short-lived racist states that flopped (Rhodesia, Nazi Germany) really is something to behold. You'd think they would want to emulate more successful regimes like the British Raj or even Leopold's Congo (goodness knows they don't care about mass murder) but no.

It is worth noting that in the background of these numbers, Abbott has pretty much taken a sledgehammer to public schools. The voucher bill is especially cruel to rural districts. Kids literally don't have desks, let alone teachers. People are mad.
Most interesting thing here to me is how much these specific candidates are outperforming the generic ballot. Paxton really does seem toxic to some significant portion of Texas GOP voters
New Siena College/ReconMR TEXAS poll is absolutely brutal for Republicans—could be a generational wipeout if it comes to pass:

SEN
Talarico 49
Paxton 43

GOV
Hinojosa (D) 49
Abbott (R) 45

Generic ballot
R47
D46

9/8-11, 614 LV, live caller/text-to-web, MoE 4.3%

Starting to feel like Trump spent his whole professional career avoiding any fair exchange of money for goods and services
Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

Found this account that posts webcam footage from around Taiwan.

This is the first light over Taiwan on the day it has been a democracy longer than a dictatorship.

Like, by the time you are on week 6 and doing Bessent and treasury related bribery impeachment, you want John Q. Voter to be screaming "is *anyone* in this administration not a scumbag?" because the answer is 'no' and that's the lesson you want to impart, one impeachment at a time.
