Woah. Ted Cruz’s Super PAC just reported receiving $214,752.98 from iHeartMedia in February in a new FEC filing.

iHeartMedia is a registered lobbyist—they also host and market his podcast. Image
Two years ago Cruz’s office said:

“Senator Cruz receives no financial benefit from Verdict.There is no difference between Sen. Cruz appearing on a network television show, a cable news show or a podcast airing on iHeartMedia.” forbes.com/sites/zachever…
Also—after filming his podcast in an iHeart studio for years, he mysteriously stopped filming them a month ago.

The same month his PAC gets a couple hundred thousand dollars from them? Image
The Senate ethics rules prohibit senators from “knowingly accepting a gift from a registered lobbyist” or from collecting honorarium for an “appearance, speech, or article.”

iHeartMedia has spent $915,000 lobbying Congress last quarter. Image

Here we go. The Texas Senate has advised Saturday votes on 3 major bills allowing Republicans to seize control of elections—targeting Harris County, the biggest (and bluest) in Texas.

This is what fascist control looks like. Image
The first bill, S.B.1070, would abolish the elections administrator position in counties with more than 3.5 million people—which *only* includes Harris County.

This bill would likely end efforts to expand voting access in the county. Image
The second bill, S.B.1933, would give Greg Abbott’s handpicked Sec. of State the power to overturn elections in Harris County.

The SOS doesn’t even need to prove election malfunctions (like running out of paper ballots)—they just need to have “good cause.” Image

Holy shit. This is the guy who Greg Abbott has promised to pardon for murder.

This is ONE PAGE of the 76 just released. Here, Daniel Perry says “I will only shoot the [protestors] in front and push the pedal to the metal.” Image
Daniel Perry brags about killed a homeless man “by accident” Image
A normal night for Daniel Perry, just googling “good chats to meet young girls” followed by “degrees of murder charges” and “attack on Jews in Texas.” Image

I respect every journalist on this byline. But this is pure hot garbage, beginning to end.
Let’s start with the premise of Biden “tearing down the guardrails” on immigration.

MPP isn’t a guardrail, metering isn’t a guardrail, disallowing children to seek asylum isn’t a guardrail.

Trump should be arraigned on human rights crimes for using Title 42 on children.
Has Trump so fundamentally broken the media’s brains that restoring centuries of immigration law is considered radical?

Is it considered smart politics to tell a 8 year old child they’re being deported back to gangs who threatened their lives?
