The federal criminal investigation was the most serious legal threat the once-embattled Republican faced. With the probe now over, Paxton is gearing up to likely challenge U.S. Sen. John Cornyn in 2026.

      Except he likely wouldn’t realize that happened.

      A freak elevator incident chopping him in half would be the appropriate level of karma for this monster.

    I live in Texas, and have been trying to start a movement among my friends to vote in Republican primaries en masse. Texas has open primaries, so we can pick whichever one we want to vote in. In a state where the Republican seems to always win statewide, having a less crazy Republican on the ballot might be the best we can hope for

      Get a democrat to run as a republican. If Fetterman can do it, anyone can.

          Advocating murder absolutely brings you below the level of this horrible human being and works to validate violence on the right. Your cowardice is a shameful stain on the community.

            He needs to be killed. Period. There is no other reasonable solution for dispensing of evil. He will not be “voted” away.

          No, I’ve served and it has nothing to do with that. Thankfully advocating for violence isn’t allowed on Lemmy; take it to one of the right’s fascist holes where it belongs.

            usurping the legislature’s constitutional power and ignoring the rulings of the judiciary arent allowed in america, but here we are. something something tyrants something something shall not be infringed.

    This mother fucker should have been in jail two or three years ago. What an indictment of our system of government that he and Abbott are in power.
