Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated legal action against Roblox, citing the platform’s alleged failure to prioritize child safety and its deceptive practices regarding the dangers faced by young users.

This legal challenge adds to existing scrutiny, with other states also suing Roblox due to concerns of child exploitation. While Roblox has implemented safety measures and technology to enhance user protection, the company continues to face criticism regarding the platform’s ability to fully protect young users.

Texas Sues Tylenol Makers, Claiming They Hid Autism Risks, and frankly, it’s hard to know where to begin. It’s almost unbelievable that this is actually happening. It’s a lawsuit launched by the state of Texas against the manufacturers of Tylenol, alleging that they hid risks related to autism. The reaction, across the board, seems to range from incredulity to outright anger.
The immediate sense is this lawsuit is going to get dismissed pretty quickly. The fact that credible health organizations like the World Health Organization and Johns Hopkins have found no link between acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) and autism should tell you something.… Continue reading
Texas AG sues makers of Tylenol over hiding alleged links to autism. This is certainly going to be a case to watch, and already it feels like it’s going to be a wild ride. The Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, is bringing the lawsuit, and the core of the issue revolves around an alleged connection between Tylenol and autism. It’s important to remember that this legal action comes with a significant burden of proof. The state, and in particular Paxton, will have to provide solid evidence to convince a judge that this link actually exists and that the makers of Tylenol deliberately hid information about it.… Continue reading
An Associated Press review revealed that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, Angela Paxton, secured mortgages with inaccurate statements, claiming multiple properties as primary residences to obtain lower interest rates. This allowed them to improperly benefit from lower rates and potentially violated federal and state laws prohibiting false statements on mortgage documents. Furthermore, the Paxtons collected an improper homestead tax break on two of those homes at the same time. These revelations have political implications, especially given similar accusations against Democrats by the Trump administration and Paxton’s own past legal and political troubles.

So, let’s dive right into it: the headline is Illinois judge denies Paxton’s request to help arrest Texas Democrats. It’s pretty straightforward, but the story behind it is anything but. The crux of the issue is this: Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas, wanted Illinois to get involved in bringing back some Texas Democrats who had left the state. But the Illinois judge wasn’t having any of it.
Why would an Illinois judge even consider helping out with a matter like this? The original request was essentially to assist in a civil matter, not a criminal one. The warrants themselves weren’t for criminal charges; they were related to the Texas Democrats’ departure from the state.… Continue reading
Ken Paxton asks judge to jail Beto O’Rourke for fundraising Texas Dems’ walkout. Honestly, this whole situation feels like something out of a dystopian novel, doesn’t it? It’s hard to believe that a state’s Attorney General is actively trying to get a political opponent, specifically Beto O’Rourke, jailed. And the reason? Fundraising that allegedly supported Texas Democrats during a walkout. It just screams of political maneuvering and a blatant attempt to silence opposition.
The crux of the matter seems to be a temporary injunction that Paxton claims O’Rourke violated. The specifics are somewhat murky, but apparently, O’Rourke made a statement at a rally – something about “f**k the rules” and encouraging support for retaliatory redistricting in other states.… Continue reading
A Texas judge has issued a temporary restraining order against Beto O’Rourke and his PAC, preventing them from funding Democratic state lawmakers who left Texas to obstruct a Republican-backed redistricting plan. The order, initiated by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, blocks the PAC from using funds for travel, lodging, or dining expenses for the absent legislators. Paxton’s lawsuit alleges deceptive fundraising and bribery, claiming the PAC misled donors by using contributions for personal expenses related to the lawmakers’ absence. O’Rourke has responded with a countersuit, accusing Paxton of attempting to silence dissent and dismantle a voter registration organization.

Reports reveal Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his estranged wife, State Senator Angela Paxton, declared three homes as their primary residences on mortgage documents. This could have saved the couple significant money due to lower interest rates on primary homes, potentially raising concerns about mortgage fraud. Experts note that proving such a crime requires demonstrating active knowledge of the false statements. These revelations come shortly after Angela Paxton filed for divorce, citing adultery, adding further complexity to Paxton’s ongoing political career, including his run for U.S. Senate.

A Republican poll suggests that Democrat Colin Allred could defeat Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a 2026 Senate race, with Allred polling at 52% compared to Paxton’s 37%. This hypothetical victory would make Allred the first Texas Democratic Senator since 1993. The poll, conducted by a firm formerly associated with Donald Trump’s campaign, also indicates Paxton could defeat incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Republican primary. Allred, having previously lost a Senate bid in 2024, is considering another run.

A Dallas judge rejected Attorney General Ken Paxton’s attempt to block Proposition R, which decriminalizes up to four ounces of marijuana in the city. This follows similar lawsuits filed by Paxton against Austin, San Marcos, and Denton, all of which were unsuccessful. Proposition R, passed overwhelmingly by Dallas voters, prevents police from using the smell of marijuana as probable cause for searches. The case will proceed to trial on August 11th. Supporters argue the proposition addresses the disproportionate criminalization of minority residents for marijuana possession.
