NiHao Food Bank Initiative's work goes beyond food distribution. It’s about consistent leadership and action in addressing hunger, building a foundation that lasts.

Trump’s deployment of troops to Oregon is no more respectful of our troops than it is of the Americans he’s using the troops to intimidate. #txlege

Go ahead, roll the usual bot-driven torrent about Trump’s martial law being about law and order. Nonsense. It’s authoritarian order without the law.

AGs can stop Trump! Here is state attorney general power defending state sovereignty and citizen rights against federal abuse. And it’s not just Oregon’s rights being protected.

Democratic AGs from 24 states and the District of Columbia did their job. Republican AGs didn’t. But Ken is darn well gonna make sure that your kid’s geometry class has a 10 Commandments poster in the right font. Thanks Ken. Way to support the schools.

Stupid doesn’t have to be partisan; sometimes they just make it that way. Not a single Republican Attorney General joined the litigation against the Trump administration for unconstitutionally interfering with the power of the legislative branch AND WITHHOLDING OUR MONEY!

Instead of suing the Trump administration for withholding around $700M of appropriated education funding from our public schools, Ken Paxton sends scary letters to school districts telling them to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom (patently unconstitutional).

What a waste.

Ken Paxton to 'vigorously enforce' Ten Commandments requirement amid lawsuits

Attorney General Ken Paxton advised schools to comply with Senate Bill 10, promising the state would take on legal fees to defend the law in court.

Jaw-dropping illegal activity by HUD, violating Hatch Act and First Amendment: using federal taxpayer funded website for ideological purposes. This is not okay, and not of small significance. #txlege
