x/ken-paxton
— 4d
Sen. John Cornyn lambasted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as lazy and a poor campaigner and said he will not fundraise for Paxton’s general election, arguing Paxton hasn’t made a compelling case to voters. Paxton faces a tight race against Democrat James Talarico, with Talarico leading in polls and fundraising, while President Donald Trump continues to back Paxton amid a donor environment where many supporters have stayed on the sidelines.

— 1d
With midterms looming, MAGA Inc. is intermittently spending, including a rare Michigan event, while President Trump continues to accumulate a massive war chest rather than rapidly funding campaigns. In Texas, Democratic challenger James Talarico has far outraised and outspent Republican Ken Paxton, highlighting donor frustration over the president’s future spending plans as MAGA’s overall war chest tops hundreds of millions of dollars.

Paxton Pen Allegations Roil Texas Senate Race
x/ken-paxton
— Aug 21, 2026
The Texas U.S. Senate race between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton has intensified around Paxton’s long-running ethics and legal controversies, including a resurfaced 2013 incident in which he pocketed a $1,000 Montblanc pen and a broader critique of his record on animal welfare and a high-profile plea deal in a child-sex case. Campaigns are leaning on simplified narratives—such as the pen episode, puppy-records disputes at Texas A&M, and Paxton’s stance on transgender athletes—to frame judgments about Paxton’s fitness for office as the race tightens toward a toss-up.
