Still not all TrumplandiaAnd let’s not forget Paxton’s role in Jan 6
TX AG Ken Paxton running to upset Sen John Cornyn (frying pan/fire?)
Though he hasn't gotten Trump endorsement yet...Paxton seems to have all the qualities for an excellent Trumplandia candidate.
- Fraud charges that lingered for some 8 or so years and cost taxpayers a couple of million $$
- Impeached but not convicted
- Marital infidelity
- Wasted a lot of Texas taxpayer money on frivolous lawsuits Originally Posted by RX792P

Paxton is easily one of the most corrupt high-profile people in American politics. Fits right into the MAGA mold.

Maybe this guy can keep the Trumplandia walls crumbling…..Trumplandia seems to be worried about Talarico.
“James is an eighth-generation Texan, former middle school teacher, and Presbyterian seminarian. As a state representative, he’s led the fight against the billionaire mega-donors and puppet politicians who have taken over Texas…..”

CBS, to no one's suprise, decided to adhere to this and prevented Colbert from airing his interview with James Talarico.
Colbert put the interview up on his YouTube page. It's a good interview.

Tired of the BS?
Tricia McLaughlin, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s spokesperson, is expected to inform colleagues Tuesday about her plans, according to the officials. She’s leaving DHS next week.https://www.politico.com/news/2026/0...ation-00783378

Trumplandia fighting among itself.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) warned Lone Star State Republicans against nominating state Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) in the Texas Senate GOP primary.
“If Ken Paxton is the nominee, we could well experience a massacre, and the first Democrat elected since 1994 in the state of Texas,” Cornyn told supporters in Fort Worth, Texas, according to NBC News.

More evidence that the walls of Trumplandia are falling…..once they start going covert with actions against US citizens and legal immigrants , which in this case caused another death of an innocent refugee.
From The Bulwark:
Quieter Cruelty
by Andrew Egger
This week, Senate Democrats remained united in their insistence they would not vote to fund the Department of Homeland Security until Donald Trump and Republicans agreed to real reforms of the department. As they should—since the unbelievable scope of DHS’s lawlessness and brutality are becoming more painfully obvious every day.
Last week, in Buffalo, Border Patrol agents scooped up a refugee named Nurul Amin Shah Alam. They quickly learned he was in the country legally and not deportable. So they released him—in the parking lot of a closed Tim Horton’s, miles from both his home and the county jail where they’d picked him up. (Before security-camera footage confirmed that the coffee shop’s lobby was closed, DHS spent yesterday insisting agents had taken Shah Alam to a “safe, warm location.” When I asked DHS this morning how they reconciled that with the new footage, they declined to elaborate further.) They never contacted his lawyer or his family. Shah Alam, 56, who spoke no English and was mostly blind, wandered off into the cold night. He never made it home. On Tuesday, he was found dead.

The mistreatment of Shah Alam was the most outrageous recent story of DHS mishandling custodial releases, but it was far from the first. This week, Mother Jones reported that federal agents operating in Minneapolis had routinely detained migrants with documents showing them to be in the middle of active immigration cases, visa proceedings, or even pending U.S. citizenship. These documents proved they weren’t deportable—but when ICE released them, they didn’t give them back.
“I can’t think of a client I’ve had detained that did not have their documents taken,” one immigration lawyer told Mother Jones. Another added: “As far as I can tell, it’s the practice of ICE to throw everybody’s documents into a black box and then lose it.”
Meanwhile, the evidence keeps piling up that ICE is broadly ignoring, neglecting, or mishandling judicial orders to release individual migrants in its custody. In an astonishing filing yesterday, Minnesota’s top federal judge, Patrick Schiltz, released a list of more than 200 regional judicial orders ICE had violated in recent weeks.
“The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt—again and again and again—to force the United States government to comply with court orders,” Schlitz wrote (emphasis in original).
The fault, the judge added, was not with the government’s line attorneys, who had “been put in an impossible position.” It was with their administration superiors, who had surged 3,000 ICE agents to Minnesota “without making any provision for handling the lawsuits that were sure to follow.”
“One way or another,” he wrote, “ICE will comply with this Court’s orders.”
You might remember that DHS has been trying to rebrand a bit lately, having belatedly realized that its maximum-friction strategy of surging into a city, swaggering around in shock-and-awe patrols, dragging migrants indiscriminately from their homes, and roughing up and gunning down protesters was extremely exciting for their base’s biggest sickos but totally alienating for the rest of the country. For the time being, at least, our government has stopped going out of its way to flaunt its lawlessness, its unaccountability, and its brutality. They didn’t want to stop. Americans made them. There’s no denying it’s a kind of progress.
But we must not lose sight of the fact that the new status quo is hardly less outrageous. The machinery of attempted mass deportation grinds on, and the people who operate it are no less careless, callous, stupid, and unscrupulous than before. The fevered bloodlust of Dan Bovino’s Minneapolis operation has been replaced not by any humane and responsible impulse but by a cold and brutal nonchalance. Assaulting protesters and then gunning them down in the street is out; carelessly dropping a blind, helpless man in a coffee-shop parking lot to freeze to death is still very much in.
