I was Paxton’s lead lawyer in the fraudulent impeachment. Our team consisted of more than twenty lawyers. I understand that my friend Dan Cogdell publicly supports AG Paxton’s opponent. I’m not surprised by this. Mr. Cogdell is a life-long Democrat. I also understand that Mr. Cogdell recently got crossways with AG Paxton concerning some real estate development that Paxton opposed and Cogdell represented. AG Paxton (and Governor Abbott) alleged that the developer sought to impose Sharia law. Now you know the rest of the story. I firmly support AG Paxton for US Senate.
Wendy Davis, Matt Angle, and David Wysong have created a new PAC intended to spend up to $13 million for down ballot Dems. See their pitch deck and #txlege target list here: texasbullpen.com/daily-bull/dem…
In today’s Daily Bull: ➡️@TXBullpen obtained a donor pitch deck for a Democratic group hoping to raise $13 million for down ballot races. ➡️An industry poll on data centers that charts a messaging path. ➡️Anthropic lobbies up in Texas. texasbullpen.com/daily-bull/dem…
#TexasSenate NOTUS: Ken Paxton’s Impeachment Defense Lawyer Endorses James Talarico A Texas lawyer who helped lead Republican Ken Paxton’s defense during a 2023 impeachment trial said Paxton “has lost sight of his core mission.” notus.org/2026-election/…
NEW: Dems in Congress continue to split in their response to reports on Graham Platner, with some moderates calling allegations "disturbing" or "troubling" & some progressives standing by him in statements today. My first story for @nytimes! w/ @TimBalk nytimes.com/2026/06/07/us/…
SCOOP: James Talarico is in town — and he's headed to K Street. Talarico had his first fundraiser since the runoff at bipartisan lobbying firm FTP this afternoon, I'm told. Comes after Paxton held a K Street fundraiser at GOP firm AxAdvocacy on Tuesday. 👀

Last night I had a very nice call with @DanPatrick and I am very happy to have his support. The takeaway is that Republicans are unified and working together to defeat the slate of radicals the Democrats have offered up.
