The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.
Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

Look up the ages of the Freedom Riders. Lots of young folks. So when people are discussing whether it’s fair to ask young people to boycott attending certain schools in the Deep South over gerrymandering, realize young people were a core component of the civil rights movement.
On this day in 1961, 27 Freedom Riders headed to New Orleans were arrested in the Jackson, Mississippi, bus station. ow.ly/in8h50Z2TYQ

My kid's school asked me to donate supplies.
Paper. Pencils. Hand sanitizer. Tissues.
I pay property taxes.
My state has a $4 billion surplus.
The federal education budget is $238 billion.
And the teacher is buying pencils out of her own paycheck.
And I'm sending in Ziploc bags.
We fund stadiums for billionaires with public money.
We fund schools with bake sales.
And then blame teachers when test scores drop.

1 year of mass deportations
your rent hasn't gone down, groceries have gone up, gas has gone up.
Maybe it's time to admit immigrants aren't the problem.

Americans realizing the reason inflation is going up, gas prices are going up, and they can't afford groceries is that they wanted to stop a nuclear weapon that didn't exist and open a strait that wasn't closed

Problem is if this was a black coach we would be talking about respect for the game and setting an example for players etc.
It’s cool when they do it, it’s a problem when I do it…

Thank you to everyone at Sam Houston. The fans, the coaching staff, and my teammates were amazing to me. I wish everyone the best. With that being said, I am planning on entering the transfer portal with 2 remaining years of eligibility.
