DALLAS — Federal prosecutors have charged 13 people in North Texas as part of a sweeping nationwide healthcare fraud crackdown involving billions of dollars in false claims. The crackdown was a coordinated effort that included more than 450 defendants nationwide, U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould said in a news release. Investigators say the schemes involve more than $6.5 billion in fraudulent claims and, in some cases, led to serious patient harm. In North Texas alone, prosecutors say the cases involve more than $365 million in fraudulent billing, targeting taxpayer-funded programs like Medicare and TRICARE. Authorities also seized more than $35 million...

The Democratic candidate in the Texas Senate race has a slight edge over his Republican opponent in a new poll released Friday. Forty-seven percent of likely general election voters in the state backed state Rep. James Talarico (D) in the poll from Texas Public Opinion Research, compared with 44 percent for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R).

A plurality — 44 percent — of these voters said they will now choose Paxton,...

Attorney General Ken Paxton says he's suing the city of Denton over gender-neutral changing rooms being available at a June Pride event at one of the city's public pools. The June 7 event, called "Big Gay Swim Day," was organized by two nonprofit groups – PRIDENTON and OUTreach Denton, and is set to be held at the Quakertown Civic Center. The city owns the center, which has a public-access swimming pool and sex-specific multiple-occupancy changing rooms. The event is advertised as open to the general public of all ages, and organizers have announced that gender-neutral changing rooms will be available...

Saturday's episode of The Weekend: Primetime on MS NOW pretended to present a balanced discussion between a Republican and a Democrat strategist in cowboy hats about the Texas Senate race between James Talarico and Ken Paxton. Co-host Elise Jordan introduced one of the guests this way: “Joining us now is Mark McKinnon, former advisor to George W. Bush and John McCain… Mark, you have a long career advising Republicans in Texas.” In reality, McKinnon’s Republican credentials are extremely thin and dated. His last significant Republican work was on John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, which he quit because he wanted Barack...

I recently heard from a friend that Talarico's leftist church - the St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas -- told its parishners to throw away their Bibles and purchase the "Inclusive Bible" by the Priests for Equality, which was quite an odd translation of the Bible. I first confirmed Talarico preached there: https://pres-outlook.org/2026/03/austin-seminary-student-james-talarico-wins-democratic-u-s-senate-primary/ I then confirmed it uses the Inclusive Bible: https://myemail.constantcontact.com/St--Andrew-s-News-for-July-26-to-August-1--2024.html?soid=1112060411088&aid=MNn8GrAF534 I then looked up that "bible" and whoa, is it weird: I flipped through it just briefly: Adam is an "it" the "first creature" until Eve is created, the first human. Marriage is not between a "man...

Yes, if your school has banned pornography for kids don't worry, Talarico stocks it in his church's library right between Left Behind Kids and Jesus Calling. Oh, and Talarico was raised in this church, has preached there several times, and remains closely associated with it.

Texas Democrat James Talarico also believes "God is nonbinary" and that Jesus Christ was a "radical feminist." The Texas church where Democrat James Talarico has delivered his radical sermons is pushing radical gender ideology on children, featuring books filled with sexually explicit content and transgender ideology. Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the crucial Senate election in November, attends St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin. There, children have access to a library stocked with “banned books” that promote ideas rejected by most Christians, including books that contain descriptions of anal rape, incest, and oral sex, according to a Daily Wire review...

WASHINGTON—President Trump and Democrats rarely find themselves in alignment. Yet both sides wanted the same outcome in Tuesday’s Texas Senate primary runoff election. Ken Paxton’s trouncing of incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the Republican runoff represents Trump’s latest triumph in maintaining his grip on his MAGA base after he similarly ousted rivals in Indiana, Louisiana and Kentucky. But to the delight of Democrats, the president’s decision to make an 11th-hour endorsement of Paxton could put the Senate seat in play for James Talarico after decades of Democratic futility in the Lone Star State.

Donald Trump loves the words sleazebag and scumball, so much so that he’s surrounded himself with the very definition of those two offensive terms. And it’s hard to be more offensive than Texas GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton, unless you’re Donald Trump, of course. Last night, Paxton, impeached, indicted, accused of bribery, and credibly alleged to have used the Texas Attorney General’s office to benefit a donor who was simultaneously employing the woman he was having an affair with, won the Republican Senate primary in Texas by a landslide.

🚨TEXAS ALERT: Polls are OPEN today in the Senate runoff that could reshape the entire GOP. John Cornyn, the ultimate Washington RINO insider with decades of playing both sides vs. Ken Paxton, the fighter President Trump just endorsed with full force. Cornyn led the first round, but momentum has completely flipped. This is the establishment’s last stand in Texas. If you’re in Texas, get out and vote. This one actually matters. VOTE FOR KEN PAXTON!

At the start of the race, it was clear most Black voters would support Crockett and most White voters would support Talarico; the wildcard was where Latinos would go. In the end, Hispanic voters acted as a key factor in the Senate primary, helping James Talarico win the Democratic nomination... The Republican primary picture is less clear-cut. In majority Hispanic regions, Cornyn led Paxton with 52-55% of the two-way vote. In urban areas, though, voters in majority Hispanic precincts actually favored Paxton (51%) at greater levels than voters in other precincts (45%)... Some commentators see evidence of Republican realignment. Others...

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) on Sunday criticized Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), whom President Trump endorsed over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in the Senate GOP runoff in the Lone Star State. “He is a failure. He doesn’t deserve to be in the U.S. Senate,” Tillis told host Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Trump on Tuesday endorsed Paxton, a firebrand conservative who filed litigation in support of the president’s push to overturn the 2020 election. In endorsing the Texas attorney general over a four-term senator, Trump said Paxton “is a true MAGA warrior” and Cornyn, while...
