in America.</p><p><a href="https://nypost.com/2026/05/04/us-news/muslim-only-event-at-taxpayer-funded-texas-waterpark-gets-backlash/">NY Post</a>:</p><blockquote><p>A taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark is getting splash-back for a &#8220;Muslims only&#8221; event next month after a local Islamic group rented out the facility.</p><p>A flier for the DFW Epic Eid event on June 1 noted three times that attendance was strictly for Muslims &#8212; and modest swimsuits are required.</p><p>&#8220;Seems like a civil rights violation,&#8221; one outraged commenter said.</p></blockquote><p>&#8220;Civil rights laws&#8221; are scams. Muslims are probably the most-versed group in &#8220;civil rights&#8221; laws thanks to decades of constant police surveillance over their terrorist inclinations.</p><p>It&#8217;s maybe worth noting, 25 years after the Patriot Act, that the government said mass surveillance on Americans is needed because we have all these Muslims here. The same government then promptly brings in millions more&#8230; and rents them the taxpayer-funded water park for a &#8220;Muslims-only&#8221; Eid party. </p><p>The Muslims obviously thought they could pull off a Muslims-only party because they have special rights under &#8220;civil rights laws&#8221; that simply aren&#8217;t available to groups like white Americans.</p><blockquote><p>The FAQ for the event says &#8220;the entire waterpark has been exclusively reserved for Muslims.&#8221;</p><p>Although the event website says men and women will not be separated during the event, it notes &#8220;we ask all attendees to uphold Islamic etiquette just as they do in other mixed gender spaces,&#8221; and encourages all visitors to follow a &#8220;modest&#8221; dress code and lower their gaze around members of the opposite sex &#8220;to help preserve a spiritually mindful and welcoming atmosphere for all.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Might need James Talarico to do a quick stop and educate the Muslims about the 67 genders. Amirite?</p><blockquote><p>A new flier for the event &#8212; released on Monday &#8212; removed the worlds &#8220;Muslim only&#8221; and replaced it with &#8220;modest dress only&#8221; and added the line &#8220;come and celebrate Eid with us, all are welcome!&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Whoops!</p><p>Jk!</p><p>Infidels welcome!</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

sex abuse arrests racked up by his longtime accordionist and band co-founder, Frankie Caballero Sr. It seems however that an additional man in Pulido&#8217;s orbit has also been convicted of child molestation.<br><br>According to court records, music industry promotional materials, and photographs, Caballero&#8217;s son, Frankie Caballero Jr., is also a convicted child molester with close ties to Pulido and his inner circle.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Though claiming he first heard of Caballero&#8217;s legal troubles this year, Pulido acknowledged during a 2024 interview that Caballero &#8220;can&#8217;t stay out of trouble.&#8221; Video has since surfaced of Pulido describing his bandmate as a &#8220;bad man&#8221; at a 2018 concert, shortly after Caballero&#8217;s release from prison for a 2014 conviction for sexually abusing an 8-year-old girl in Hidalgo County. In <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-candidate-blasted-gop-opponent-over-joke-about-bandmate-convicted-child-sex-abuse">that same performance</a>, Pulido cracked a &#8220;Penn State&#8221; joke with Caballero onstage, a reference that a former Democratic prosecutor in Hidalgo County told Fox News can only be interpreted as a comment regarding the child sex abuse scandal then engulfing that university or a &#8220;state pen&#8221; reference.<br><br>Additionally, Ramon Rodriguez, a Tejano bass player, <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/04/02/us-news/texas-dem-toured-for-years-with-bandmate-who-was-a-registered-sex-offender/">told the New York Post</a> that Pulido&#8217;s denial is not believable since Caballero Sr.&#8217;s conviction was &#8220;a known fact in music circles&#8221; at the time.<br><br><strong>Father-Son Child Molestation Duo</strong><br><br>According to court records, Frankie Caballero Jr. pleaded guilty in 2002 to sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl.

center;"><em>&#8220;Bobby Pulido has never toured or performed with Frankie Caballero Jr., does not have a personal relationship with him, and has no knowledge of his criminal history. While desperate Republicans fabricate lies to distract voters, they&#8217;re covering for Monica De La Cruz &#8212; the only candidate in this race who was accused of child abuse under oath in a court of law, had a restraining order issued against her to protect a child, and is a pedophile protector who refused to sign the petition to release the Epstein files.&#8221;</em></p></div><p>Pulido&#8217;s campaign is citing an accusation De La Cruz&#8217;s ex-husband, Juan &#8220;Johnny&#8221; Hernandez, made through his lawyer during their divorce. However, the claim was never reported to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and it was never proven in court. Following the divorce, in 2024, Hernandez was indicted in Hidalgo County for attempting to strangle his then-girlfriend. FEC records show Hernandez donated $500 to Pulido&#8217;s campaign in September 2025.</p><p>A spokesperson for De La Cruz told Current Revolt, &#8220;Only a depraved creep like Bobby Podrido would hide behind a criminally charged wife-beater&#8217;s smears to distract from the fact that he spent decades knowingly exposing our families to convicted pedophiles.&#8221;</p><div><hr></div><p>The Pulido campaign also told Current Revolt that Caballero Jr. did not perform at any fundraiser for Pulido&#8217;s family. However, Caballero Jr. maintains a public Facebook photo album dedicated to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/frankiej.caballero/photos_albums">a fundraiser event</a> for the Pulido family titled: <strong>ROBERTO PULIDO FUNDRAISER DANCE</strong>. The album has photos of the event where Caballero Jr. headlined as a singer, Bobby Pulido in attendance, and of Caballero Jr. with members of Pullido&#8217;s family:</p><div

Sr. It seems however that an additional man in Pulido&#8217;s orbit has also been convicted of child molestation.<br><br>According to court records, music industry promotional materials, and

Though claiming he first heard of Caballero&#8217;s legal troubles this year, Pulido acknowledged during a 2024 interview that Caballero &#8220;can&#8217;t stay out of trouble.&#8221; Video has since surfaced of Pulido describing his bandmate as a &#8220;bad man&#8221; at a 2018 concert, shortly after Caballero&#8217;s release from prison for a 2014 conviction for sexually abusing an 8-year-old girl in Hidalgo County. In <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-candidate-blasted-gop-opponent-over-joke-about-bandmate-convicted-child-sex-abuse">that same performance</a>, Pulido cracked a &#8220;Penn State&#8221; joke with Caballero onstage, a reference that a former Democratic prosecutor in Hidalgo County told Fox News can only be interpreted as a comment regarding the child sex abuse scandal then engulfing that university or a &#8220;state pen&#8221; reference.<br><br>Additionally, Ramon Rodriguez, a Tejano bass player, <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/04/02/us-news/texas-dem-toured-for-years-with-bandmate-who-was-a-registered-sex-offender/">told the New York Post</a> that Pulido&#8217;s denial is not believable since Caballero Sr.&#8217;s conviction was &#8220;a known fact in music circles&#8221; at the time.<br><br><strong>Father-Son Child Molestation Duo</strong><br><br>According to court records, Frankie Caballero Jr. pleaded guilty in 2002 to sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl. He <a href="https://sor.dps.texas.gov/PublicSite/Search/Rapsheet?Sid=05896239">remains listed</a> on the Texas public sex offender registry. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

While desperate Republicans fabricate lies to distract voters, they're covering for Monica De La Cruz &#8212; the only candidate in this race who was accused of child abuse under oath in a court of law, had a restraining order issued against her to protect a child, and is a pedophile protector who refused to sign the petition to release the Epstein files."</p></div><p>The Pulido campaign also told Current Revolt that Caballero Jr. did not perform at any fundraiser for Pulido&#8217;s family. However, Caballero Jr. maintains a public Facebook photo album dedicated to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/frankiej.caballero/photos_albums">a fundraiser event</a> for the Pulido family titled: <strong>ROBERTO PULIDO FUNDRAISER DANCE</strong>. The album has photos of the event where Caballero Jr. headlined as a singer, Bobby Pulido in attendance, and of Caballero Jr. with members of Pullido&#8217;s family:</p><div

opponent of House Bill 1, the Youth CAMPER Act, requiring youth camps to create and submit emergency action plans for events like flooding.</p><p>The July 4, 2025 Camp Mystic flood along the Guadalupe River killed 25 youth campers and 2 counselors known as Heaven&#8217;s 27, with families alleging preventable negligence, prompting the special session legislation. The Youth Camper Act passed 136-1 back in August of last year.</p><p>Harrison initially supported the bill, then opposed it after Democrats added floor amendments. He said the changes crossed the line. The line, apparently, was whether children&#8217;s cabins should be built on floodplains.</p><p>Later, around 200 Christian youth camps reportedly told Harrison they may face closure due to the new regulations enacted by the Youth Camper Act.</p><p><a href="https://www.texaspolicyresearch.com/flood-response-laws-could-shut-down-nearly-200-texas-youth-camps/">Texas Policy Research</a>:</p><blockquote><p>Those concerns have now moved beyond private correspondence. In a recent <a href="https://x.com/brianeharrison/status/2000976259052920980">public statement</a>, State Rep. Harrison warned that implementation of HB 1 could result in the closure of nearly 200 Christian camps across Texas. Harrison, who <a href="https://journals.house.texas.gov/hjrnl/892/pdf/89C2DAY12FINAL.PDF#page=9">voted</a> against the legislation during the special session, described the situation as an unintended but foreseeable consequence of the flood response bills and urged lawmakers to reconsider the policy direction.</p></blockquote><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/brianeharrison/status/2000976259052920980&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;&#128680;UPDATE (TERRIBLE): I was just informed that almost 200 CHRISTIAN CAMPS MAY BE SHUT DOWN because of the \&quot;flood relief\&quot; bill (HB1)!!\n\nExactly as I predicted... when I was the ONLY lawmaker with the courage to vote NO.\n\nHB1/SB1 must be stopped!\n\nWE MUST SAVE THE CHRISTIAN CAMPS!!&quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;brianeharrison&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Brian Harrison&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/1688026723198062592/VQT8__JU_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2025-12-16T17:08:11.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Government solutions are often worse than the problems they claim to solve. \n\nUnfortunately, that happened with HB1 today, which started out as a good bill that I intended to support.\n\nHowever, Democrats were allowed to amend the bill on the floor in a way that may harm or shut&quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;brianeharrison&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Brian Harrison&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/1688026723198062592/VQT8__JU_normal.jpg&quot;},&quot;reply_count&quot;:112,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:860,&quot;like_count&quot;:1693,&quot;impression_count&quot;:154550,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:null,&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div><p>Hooper&#8217;s anti-Harrison ad includes posts about attacking Attorney General Ken Paxton:</p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/RAPHOOPTX/status/2047651386263732732&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;This was after Brian Harrison attacked Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for speaking the truth about the convicted child killer. &quot;,&quot;username&quot;:&quot;RAPHOOPTX&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Rachel Ann Palmer Hooper&quot;,&quot;profile_image_url&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/1982498442128605186/ZIANFEWC_normal.jpg&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-24T12:18:28.000Z&quot;,&quot;photos&quot;:[],&quot;quoted_tweet&quot;:{},&quot;reply_count&quot;:0,&quot;retweet_count&quot;:1,&quot;like_count&quot;:5,&quot;impression_count&quot;:494,&quot;expanded_url&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/office-attorney-general-sets-record-straight-about-nikki-curtiss-death-rebutting-jeff-leachs-and-joe&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Office of the Attorney General Sets the Record Straight About Nikki Curtis&#8217;s Death, Rebutting Jeff Leach&#8217;s and Joe Moody&#8217;s Lies About Convicted Child Murderer&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;The Office of the Attorney General released the original autopsy report and other evidence to correct falsehoods amplified by a coalition interfering with the capital punishment proceedings in which Robert Roberson was scheduled to be executed for the murder of his two-year-old daughter Nikki.&quot;,&quot;domain&quot;:&quot;texasattorneygeneral.gov&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/news_img/2047651389631770624/FfXmepuN?format=jpg&amp;name=orig&quot;},&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div><p>We reached out to Hooper for comment on her ad. No response was received in time for publishing.</p><p>Rep. Harrison&#8217;s Chief of Staff, Cassie Hoyer, gave the following statement regarding Hooper&#8217;s ad:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Her deranged attacks on Rep. Harrison continue to be untethered from reality. As shocking as it is that an RPT official is running ads against the most conservative member of the Legislature, it&#8217;s even more disgusting she&#8217;s politicizing the heartbreaking flood fatalities to defend Democrat legislation that is now threatening to shut down hundreds of safe Christian camps, which Rep. Harrison alone had the courage to oppose last year. Rep. Harrison&#8217;s position on the Roberson case has also been completely vindicated by the conservative judges on the CCA in their opinions when the court stayed the execution last year. Texans would be better off if RPT officials joined Rep. Harrison in attacking Democrats and RINOs instead of joining Democrats and RINOs in attacking Rep. Harrison.&#8221;</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h2>Elijah Schaffer&#8217;s Lawyers File Motion to Withdraw From His Divorce Case</h2><p>In a situation we continue to monitor, former BlazeTV Host

State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) member Brandon Hodges said he no longer supports the chairman, citing concerns that include the conduct of RPT General Counsel Rachel Hooper.</p><p>In the letter, published below, Hodges says that Hooper has overstepped her authority as the non-elected General Counsel. Hodges cites SREC bylaws saying her role is limited to only being an advisory position with non-voting status, despite this, Hodges says that Hooper has engaged in direct phone calls to SREC members, precinct chairs, delegates, and grassroots Republicans. Hodges also includes a Facebook post by Hooper regarding State Rep Brian Harrison:</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

He has been open about his ideological views and has suggested broad support from a coalition of current and former lovers from his &#8220;community.&#8221; The below video is his self-introduction.</p><div id="youtube2-TuUq2KvuofI" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;TuUq2KvuofI&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/TuUq2KvuofI?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>In the above video, he details why he&#8217;s running, what brought him to Denton, and his theater experience. Overall, he claims to bring change, and he wants to &#8220;be that change.&#8221;</p><p>The red (or in this case rainbow) flags don&#8217;t pop up until after the two minute mark. Ferrie details his efforts to promote LGBTQ activity within Denton.</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I have had the absolute honor to call the board of Pride Denton my family. These individuals have helped create opportunities that have not existed, including the first pride parade on the downtown square in 2019 called Night Out.&#8221;</em></p><p><strong>&#8212; 2:17</strong></p><p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve worked with Equality Texas and Deb Armintor when they </em>[sic]<em> were a council member to pass a non-discrimination ordinance.&#8221;</em></p><p><strong>&#8212; 2:35</strong></p></blockquote><p>For those wanting information on the aforementioned LGBTQ ordinance, Current Revolt covered it four years ago.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;bd2d5e9e-19a5-4553-adbd-cb7b4b658f48&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Denton once again tries to keep it&#8217;s status as diet Austin. Days ago, Denton City Council voted 5 - 2 for a non-discrimination ordinance (NDO) aimed at protecting the right of the LGBTXYZWTF community to make their oddities as public as possible, even letting them use any bathroom they want.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:&quot;Read full story&quot;,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Denton Passes Pro-Weirdo Ordinance&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:86617795,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Tex Rex&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;I handle Right-Wing PR for Current Revolt, ensuring our enduring reputation.

He continues on to explain his plans for economic development, (which involve talking to local colleges and universities), his strong liking for community events, how city council bickering sets a bad example, and how he wants &#8220;to work with every single council member&#8221; (which is easy for him due to it&#8217;s Left-leaning majority.)</p><p>The rest of the video is Ferrie&#8217;s policy priorities, and how his priority is supposedly &#8220;the people.&#8221; Around the 9:30 mark of the video, it seems Ferrie&#8217;s top priorities involve &#8220;the arts&#8221; and &#8220;events,&#8221; which coincidentally cater to more LGBTQ demographics.</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I also see it being a culture where we have working families at the forefront center mind of what we can do to help ensure that housing is affordable and that there are programs in place to support individuals.&#8221;</em></p><p><strong>&#8212; 9:44</strong></p></blockquote><p>While he does talk about &#8220;accountability&#8221; for who Denton gives money to, &#8220;programs&#8221; is almost always code for &#8220;free stuff&#8221; accompanied by a lack of accountability or efficiency.</p><p>Ferrie emphasizes &#8220;community engagement&#8221; a lot, but Let&#8217;s take a look at his &#8220;community engagement&#8221; strategy.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h5kd!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h5kd!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h5kd!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h5kd!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h5kd!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h5kd!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png" width="603" height="694.9122401847575" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:499,&quot;width&quot;:433,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:603,&quot;bytes&quot;:347290,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.currentrevolt.com/i/194871682?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h5kd!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h5kd!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h5kd!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h5kd!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c66791d-e1ea-4f0d-abed-f868edca8fa0_433x499.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">I guess these are the &#8220;events&#8221;

also been under legal scrutiny from Attorney General Ken Paxton&#8217;s office, which said their policies violate Senate Bill 4, a state law that bans local governments from adopting measures that &#8220;materially limit&#8221; immigration enforcement. Some local leaders have pushed back against that charge, and the ACLU of Texas has said policies like Houston&#8217;s support &#8220;longstanding protections under the Fourth Amendment.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>For those who don&#8217;t know, the Fourth Amendment says that you the taxpayer must personally pay for legal counsel and court proceedings for anyone on earth who appears and requests it. </p><blockquote><p>Austin Mayor Kirk Watson pushed back against Abbott&#8217;s threat in <a href="https://x.com/KirkPWatson/status/2044925700998586636">a public statement,</a> saying that the city&#8217;s policy is consistent with SB 4 and only provides clarity for officers when they interact with immigration officers.</p></blockquote><p>Democrats are making their move as the MAGA movement circles the drain because of yet another insane war.</p><p>In Texas, Democrats and Republicans appear to be having a totally fake fight over some sort of nuance in the wording of their fake law &#8211; a law purported to help with illegal immigration, but has produced over 2 million illegal friends driving up the price of housing. </p><blockquote><p>The <a href="https://austincurrent.org/2026/04/16/texas-austin-abbott-ice-threats/">Austin Current reported</a> that Paxton opened an investigation into the Austin Police Department&#8217;s immigration policy, which it revised after the January <a href="https://austincurrent.org/2026/03/02/austin-immigrant-enforcement-services/">detention and alleged deportation of a Honduran woman and her 5-year-old child</a> sparked community backlash. The <a href="https://austin.widen.net/s/qhzzccmwcz/119-general-orders">guidance</a>, adopted in March, bans officers from arresting people solely based on a civil immigration warrant as well as &#8220;unreasonably prolonging a detention&#8221; in order to contact ICE.</p></blockquote><p>There&#8217;s 2 million in Texas alone, and Republicans are arguing with Democrats about what it means to unreasonably prolong 1 of them.</p><p>Is that a reasonable way to go about this?

consultants.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>The letter, of course, does not specify what actions by TDP Chairman Scudder constituted racism exposure.

One year ago, you inherited a party facing significant structural and financial challenges, including nearly $500,000 in debt. In a short period of time, that debt was eliminated, restoring financial stability and credibility to the organization. Under your leadership, the Party has not only stabilized, but has been positioned to launch a $30 million coordinated campaign&#8212;ensuring Democrats across Texas have the resources needed to compete. At a time when many questioned whether Democrats could even field candidates statewide, your leadership helped recruit and support candidates so that every state and federal race had a Democratic challenger. That alone represents a meaningful step toward long-term competitiveness and reb&quot;,&quot;domain&quot;:&quot;forms.gle&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://pbs.substack.com/news_img/2045569376087142400/BIgK9VBE?format=jpg&amp;name=orig&quot;},&quot;video_url&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div><div><hr></div><h2>Political Influencer, Who Was Fired for Having Sex in GOP HQ, is Getting Involved in Texas Politics</h2>
