Fun facts about our Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton.

on August 3, 2015, in Paxton's first year in office, he became the first Texas Attorney General in 32 years to be indicted.

He still hasn't gone to trial, and it's not supposed to start until after the 2018 election.

1/ Texas AG Ken Paxton has been under indictment since 2015 for three felony charges- 2 for securities fraud and 1 for failing to register with securities regulators.

The punishment is up to life in prison and yet he hasn't spent a day in prison yet.

Trump supporters,

Alex Jones is right! Go stock up on food and hide in underground bunkers NOW!

If you hear explosions on July 4th then that's just the Civil War happening. Be glad you're safe.

We'll signal the all clear when it's safe to come out. Do NOT come out early! Let Wave 1 Commence!

Child infantry! Prepare your sparkl...uh...incendiary sticks! Char-

Ok, everyone ready?! CHARGE!!!!

I've been looking at polls, reading articles and watching the news trying to wrap my brain around the huge disconnect between Democrats and Republicans on the issue of immigration, and, more specifically, the taking of children from their families.

1/ I wanted to understand it for my own peace of mind but also to see how candidates should be handling this issue. Is it important to Americans? If not, why not?

According to a recent CBS poll, only 23% of Republicans think reuniting children with parents is a high priority.

School Gun Violence

There is a lot of debate about gun violence in schools right now, but I wanted to offer a perspective that may initially come across as insensitive, but I promise you, if you read the entire thread it will, hopefully, in the end, leave you a little relieved. Let’s start with a question. Why do we care about school shootings?

That might sound like a strange and even callous question but stick with me for a minute before firing off an angry emoji at me or turning CAP LOCKS to stun!

We're all hearing horror stories about the treatment of migrant children and how 1475 are unaccounted for.

I wanted to find which agency was ultimately responsible for this mess and then do something.

This thread documents my findings along with a call to action.

1/ First, to navigate the various agencies involved in the processing of migrant children.

It starts with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency which operates under the Department of Homeland Security. ICE officers are who take the kids into custody.

As a tribute to the classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I have put together a Trumped version of it.

Warning: For those who haven't seen the movie some scenes may be meh to you.

Warning 2: Also, for those who haven't seen the movie, you're dead to me! SCENE 1 – TRUMP AND SWALWELL

[Trump rides up to Swalwell Castle on Devin Nunes]

Trump: It is I, Trump, son of a racist, from the Tower of Trump, King of the Morons, defeater of Justice sovereign of all Russia, and President of the US.

Schiff: And who is that you’re riding?

As Trump continues his assault on the FBI/DOJ, I thought it would be good to revisit what Trump’s options are and whether or not he can really fire Mueller.

Legal experts are not all in agreement with how Mueller could be fired so I thought I would outline the possibilities.

1/ If the Justice Department regulations (“Reno Rules”) apply then Trump would need Rosenstein to fire Mueller. If Rosenstein refused then Trump could fire Rosenstein and work his way down the line of succession in the Justice Department much like Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre.

So, let's help with that, shall we?

My Surreal Experience at a Texas Gun Show

On Saturday I went to a Mom's Demand Action event, and I decided what better way to end the week than to attend a gun show on Sunday. This thread captures the highlights of my surreal experience at my very first Texas gun show.

1/ First, I needed to dress for the occasion. I needed a disguise. I put on a pair of jeans and a Cowboys sweatshirt because Texas gun owner’s love’m some Cowboys!
