NEW: Days after being accused of bribery, Texas AG Ken Paxton told police he'd gotten some threatening texts. They allegedly included pics of a dead animal. The man who sent the messages has a totally different explanation for what happened.

Texas Attorney General
@KenPaxtonTX is right to challenge those battleground states that made last minute changes to election procedures that weakened ballot integrity. Americans must be able to trust our elections.#txlege -

You're on a roll, Texas Republicans. I saw a member of the

Bucket list moment to meet and visit today with President George W. Bush. Pres. Bush is the model of a servant leader and family man. I am grateful he spent some time reflecting on lessons learned. Thank you for your service, Mr. President!

Yesterday Dr. Richard Murray, my dad, wrapped up his teaching career at UH, after more than five decades. He will remain in a research capacity a bit longer, but a well earned finish. Proud of him.

Texas is a welcoming place for charter profiteers, and much of their money has found its way into state elections...Almost $900,000 in PAC funding came from out-of-state billionaires like Walmart heiress Alice Walton, a strong supporter of school privatization.
