Getting money from rich, old people by promising the youth vote? Where have I seen that, recently?No surer way to get the checks coming than promising septuagenarian racists that you can deliver the youth vote.

A new company appears to be recruiting social media influencers to parrot claims supporting Ken Paxton and to promote a series of videos alleging that the Texas Legislature is secretly controlled by Democrats intent on destroying Paxton. https://t.co/0VXKC4GgZQ

Photos from the event show that Influenceable has powerful allies. Among the speakers were Brad Parscale, who recently moved to Texas after years running the Trump campaign’s digital strategy, and Tim Dunn, the West Texas oil tycoon who has given tens of millions of dollars to ultraconservative movements and candidates in Texas — including Paxton.
Now Influenceable appears to be recruiting young conservatives to parrot claims that the attorney general is the victim of a political witch hunt and, more recently, to promote a series of videos alleging that the Texas Legislature is secretly controlled by Democrats intent on destroying Paxton and other conservatives.
The company’s emergence comes amid Republican initiatives to connect with young Americans who tend to be more supportive of liberal policies.And since I brought this into Texas politics and Ken Paxton:
I expect Paxton’s next move will be to ask for a continuance until 2026 so he can review all these documents. Oh, wait, the Texas Tribune has already reviewed them!Embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says there's no evidence to support his impeachment.
