Scum bucket Ken Paxton's impeachment trial began today. Now would be a great time to call and let them know you want Ken gone.

The Justice Department is doing what it can to prosecute the largest fraud in American history. But the reality is that only a fraction of the scammers will ever be held accountable and most of the money is gone forever. NBC acknowledges that the fraud took place during 's admin, but doesn't mention that it's Republican House members who refuse to fund the effort. nbcnews.com/nightly-news/video

Florida & other states are hiding by not bothering to report them: We're experiencing the highest level of hate crime in this country🚨-from SPLC. FBI: 31% increase in hate crime incidents from 2020-21. >60% of the victims: targeted bc of race or ethnicity -while major drop in agencies reporting crime to the FBI. In FL, 67% of agencies reported crimes to the FBI in 2020. In 2021, only 33% did. Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office didn't report. news.yahoo.com/ridiculous-hate

' office had quietly conspired with local sheriffs to tarnish the reputations of these democratically elected prosecutors -turning local cops against the state attorneys they’re supposed to partner with & trust. In the latest instance, he did one sheriff a huge favor by firing Orlando-area ST ATTY Worrell just as she was about to crack down on a wide-ranging cover-up by deputies who, she says, were faking docs to hide lethal & abusive behavior🚨. thedailybeast.com/the-real-sto

Rep Ogles' bill (he's the pro-🔫ogre of TN): Opponents counter that the GOP is desperately trying to kneecap the largely nonwhite dist., which consistently votes 90% or more for Dems, as its statehood push gains steam. “Republicans are scared: DC has gotten closer to statehood than ever & their response is, to try to take away what democracy the nearly 700K DC residents -plurality of whom are African Americans -have,” -DC’s non-voting Rep E Norton. govtrackinsider.com/as-dcs-cri

"Last week, Melber's show released a video showing Stone detailing the fake electors scheme to his lackeys on November 5, 2020 — before the major news networks called the election. That proves, yet again, that -> the coup plan predates the election <- and was not, as Trump apologists claim, merely a reaction to a "sincere" belief that the election was stolen.

Republican strategists learned impt. lessons in the fight over who'd get the presidency in the 2000 election. In 2002 midterms -Bush Admin used the DOJ to aggressively investigate Dems for vote fraud based on little or no evidence. In 2006 -fired 9 of its own US ATTYs for refusing to prosecute spurious voter fraud allegations -went on to the Heritage FND & other conservative think tanks after 2008 to push baseless conspiracies of widespread voter fraud...🚨 joelowndes.org/not-just-trump-

Lest people forget, Roy Cohn was a mentor who was also a Nixon "dirty trickster." So, the corruption in the GOP generally and w/Trump runs deep.

The Const. refers to the general welfare of Americans twice -defining the powers of Congress to raise taxes & spend money “to provide for … the GENERAL WELFARE of the US…”
Over the centuries the concept of a “we society” expanded -as the voting franchise & indiv. HR were expanded & extended beyond wealthy/land-owning straight white men. But the “me society” rich of the day kept trying to corrupt politics to their own advantage. TY @ThomHartmann hartmannreport.com/p/can-ameri

The IRA provided funding to the IRS, & it's paying off for law-abiding taxpayers:

-Cleared backlog of 2022 returns

-Took 3M more calls & cut wait times

-Recovered $38M from 175 delinquent millionaires

-Working on direct file pilot

*Reminder, Republicans want to defund the IRS: Clawing back these new resources is a 1st-order priority for some Republicans, who've already successfully pushed to take back a 1/4 of these funds in the debt ceiling deal.

His name was mentioned 193 in the 41 count indictment.

He can't be allowed to get away with this.

GOP operatives pay to get their messages mainstreamed. And many more Republican canvassers are paid than Dem canvassers: A new co is secretly recruiting influencers to defend Ken Paxton & promote a QAnon-adjacent movie. Meet Influenceable, a "network of digital activists" with ties to a far-right Texas billionaires and Trump's 2020 campaign chair. texastribune.org/2023/08/14/in
