OOPS, my mistake! I thought this USA Today headline referred to a GOP legislators' committee room.

"5 MILLION-YEAR-OLD ELEPHANT GRAVEYARD FOUND IN FLORIDA."

Just because some people are capable of climbing over a barrier does not mean the barrier is not a problem.

Justice Dept. in DC taking over Texas AG corruption probe

By JAKE BLEIBERG and ERIC TUCKER
February 16, 2023

DALLAS (AP) — Justice Department officials in Washington have taken over the corruption investigation into Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, removing the case from the hands of the federal prosecutors in Texas who’d long been leading the probe.

The move was disclosed in a statement by state prosecutors handling their own case against Paxton. It’s the latest development in the federal investigation into the attorney general, who came under FBI scrutiny in 2020 after his own top deputies accused him of bribery and abusing his office to help one of his campaign contributors, who also employed a woman with whom Paxton acknowledged having had an extramarital affair.

@GottaLaff @AlliFlowers I almost kept my account for this situation. But I decided there were others with a much wider audience that would keep theirs and my deactivated account would speak louder. But only because folks like you help me stay informed. It’s a service I greatly appreciate.

@bitterwhiteguy @StillIRise1963 Paxton should also be charged for Conspiracy to Commit Election Fraud over J6.

For the first time on Russian TV, propagandists said that Putin and the country's leaders must resign and others need to be elected.

Careful before blocking newsie(dot)social! They’re also hosting Doctors without borders.

It is absolutely essential that Doctors without borders stay available to the widest audience possible. They’re new both here and on bluesky and re-gaining their audience is already hard enough to not fediblock them on top of that.

Whatever you decide to do, please be sure to not harm their work.

We were never supposed to have a state religion. So why are we allowing SCOTUS to be filled by Federalist Society?

“Once again, the conservative justices reveal themselves to be textualists of convenience.”

“Adjacent” means “next to,” not “adjoining” . . . until the Alito Five want to cut back EPA’s power under the Clean Water Act.

Our economy should be one that helps to fill up kitchen cabinets, not the pockets of the ultra-wealthy.
