Ken Paxton is just trying to secure his bag. That is the only thing you need to understand.

Hey Ken, they are not starving...

Yet another stupid lawsuit that helps Texans!

Government telling private banks what to do….so capitalist and small government of him.

KenPaxtonTX trying to be credible. Amazing how his Collin County was labeled by DMagazine as the 'most lawless county in Texas'.

Paxton is working very hard to stay in the news and get re-elected. With some justice at work, Paxton should be soon in jail for fraud.

Killing Texas Jobs. Which destroys Texas families. But Dmn hates family units and Texans.Dmn Pravda of Texas

Texas, what’s up with your politicians? Cruz. Paxton, and your Lt Governor literally look like lizard people who’s human flesh is melting.

So small government and capitalist of him. These MAGATs are out of control.

Picking fights with banks is a dead loser.
