For months, top advisers to @GregAbbott_TX and @KenPaxtonTX have coordinated a secretive government campaign against a Plano mosque.
It has amounted to a multiagency siege, orchestrated at the highest levels of Texas government, targeting a North Texas Muslim community. 1/3

REVEALED: the Republican Women’s Caucus (RWC) Fund and a man named John Braun, possibly the WA state senator, have been identified as the names behind controversial text messages about transgender resources sent to Texans earlier this month.

There's a lot going on in Abbott and Paxton's elections right now, but this is the story to read if you want to understand how they've wielded power:
How Abbott and Paxton Manufactured a Fraud Case Against a Muslim Community, by @NicoGutteridge: texasmonthly.com/news-politi…

These accounts, which get clicks by summarizing the work of journalists instead of simply retweeting said work or journalists, are incredibly lame and annoying.

NEW: Rightwing Texans spent decades steadily tearing down the church-state wall, claiming it is a myth meant to obscure America's true Christian roots. Now, Trump is helping them export their playbook nationally - and codify their views into federal policy. (Gift link below).

“The separation of church and state is not in the Constitution,” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick recently said as Trump nodded from behind the Resolute Desk. “From this day forward, that phrase should have no power over people of all faiths ever again.” (Gift link)

A must-read story about how Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton trumped up fraud charges against a Muslim community - despite repeated warnings that there were "legal holes" in the case. Latest bit of incredibly @NicoGutteridge reporting.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton concocted a securities fraud case as part of a sweeping crusade to target the state’s growing Muslim community. trib.al/LjoSiOh

Ken Paxton "cited" the securities board chairman in bringing a fraud lawsuit against a North Texas Muslim community. Except the securities board chairman never said what Paxton claimed he had. Essential @NicoGutteridge reporting: texasmonthly.com/news-politi…

In slimy fashion Paxton filed a lawsuit against the developer of EPIC CITY, now known as Meadow, north of Plano. The lawsuit alleged securities violations after lawyers and investigators at the Securities Board determined that there were no such violations. The suit is driven by animosity towards Muslims and by the desire by Paxton to score political points with the MAGA base suffering with Islamophobia. Excellent work by the Texas Monthly on this story.

Documents reveal the bureaucrat, whose opinion Ken Paxton mischaracterized and used as the basis for his lawsuit against EPIC, called the AG's actions "corrupt": texasmonthly.com/news-politi…
In June, we revealed how Abbott’s advisers hijacked the funeral commission’s case against the East Plano Islamic Center, steering it to legally harass the mosque. 2/3 texasmonthly.com/news-politi…
Now, our latest story shows just how far state officials went to advance their crusade—and what happened to one career regulator who pushed back. 3/3

Greg Abbott sicced the state securities board, and 10 plus other agencies, on a Muslim community in North Texas. When it didn't find the malfeasance the gov was looking for, Ken Paxton took action anyway. Part 2 of @NicoGutteridge's investigation: texasmonthly.com/news-politi…
When Texas’s chief securities regulator stepped down late last year, one of his final emails was a blunt message about Attorney General Ken Paxton: “Corrupt.”

Bureaucrats found legal holes in the governor and attorney general’s crusade against a North Texas mosque.
The state proceeded anyway. texasmonthly.com/news-politi…
