Frankly the idea of Paxton oozing out of his texan containment zone is terrifying.

That situation is sooooo Texas. Probably the biggest criminal in the state being supported by all the little magats with their 10-gallon tinfoil hats.

The “great” governor of Texas (Greg Abbott) has instituted many actions against the good of Texans while benefiting his rich donors (billionaires and corporations). Some actions come straight from Project 2025. Texans have limited rights in most areas of their lives but they keep voting for Republicans. This list includes some of the actions by elected Republicans against the good of their constituents.

1. Tax funds pay the private school tuition for the rich through the “school choice” initiative pushed by Abbott while leaving many Texas public schools without basic needs like A-C.

2. Banned books and restricted the curriculum of teachers

3. Created detention camps for immigrant families. Texas has 26 detention centers, 5 prisons, and 2 county jails used to detain immigrants, with an estimated capacity to detain 34,767 migrants daily.

4. Texas has very high property taxes to fund the GOP initiatives

5. Texas consistently ranks low in national healthcare rankings, particularly in areas like access to care, affordability, and the percentage of uninsured residents. 

6. Texas ranks high in toxic discharges into waterways. 

7. Texas has poor air quality. A controversial "1-mile rule," not codified in law, has been used to limit citizen participation in challenging certain air pollution permits. 

8. Texas law has limitations for employee workers rights through the “at will” employment model. The "at will" employment model gives employers significant flexibility in managing their workforce and firing AT WILL.

9. Texas consistently ranks high in workplace fatalities and injuries compared to other states.

10. Texas law provides certain protections to doctors and healthcare providers against medical malpractice lawsuits, primarily through the Texas Medical Liability Act. These protections include caps on non-economic damages and requirements for pre-suit notice.

11. Texas abortion laws are among the most severe in the United States. A "trigger law" effectively banned almost all abortions after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, with potential civil and criminal penalties for those providing abortions. The law does not include exceptions for rape or incest.

Paxton has out of state R support. They’re all a bunch of sleaze bags.
