The TX House of Representatives voted to impeach Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton on May 28.

At issue for Paxton are a host of allegations concerning corruption and bribery.

.

The vote to impeach in the Republican-led House was 121 to 23.

Paxton's fall from grace at the hands of his own party is reportedly years in the making.

A staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, .

... Paxton was among those who requested the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Trump was outspoken in objecting to Paxton's impeachment hearings.

According to Paxton, .

... the charges against him are contingent on “hearsay and gossip, parroting long-disproven claims.”.

Despite these objections, .

The TX House vote to impeach was strongly bipartisan.

Trump Releases Photos of Violent Venezuelan TdA Gang in Texas as Supreme Court Blocks Deportation

The Trump administration has released shocking photos and rap sheets of alleged Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members detained in Texas. These Venezuelan nationals, accused of crimes ranging from assault and drug trafficking to weapons possession and smuggling, were set to be deported under the historic Alien Enemies Act of 1798. However, in a dramatic twist, the Supreme Court blocked the deportations following a legal challenge by the ACLU. This report dives into the gang’s violent history, the administration’s legal battle, and the growing national security concerns. #Trump #TdAGang #ImmigrationCrisis #TexasNews #VenezuelanGang #Deportation #SCOTUS #TrumpAdministration #BorderSecurity #BreakingNews #ACLU #AlienEnemiesAct #TrenDeAragua #CrimeAndPolitics #LawAndOrder #AmericaFirst Also Read Delhi gang wars: Three arrested for shooting dead a man outside Saket court :: https://www.oneindia.com/new-delhi/delhi-gang-wars-three-arrested-for-shooting-dead-a-man-outside-saket-court-2890851.html?ref=DMDesc Delhi gangwars: Shootout between members of Gogi and Tillu gangs leave one dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/new-delhi/delhi-gangwars-shootout-between-members-gogi-tillu-gangs-leave-one-dead-2717810.html?ref=DMDesc Delhi Police continue crackdown on Pasonda gangs :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/delhi-police-continue-crackdown-on-pasonda-gangs-2086101.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.346~GR.124~

Supreme Court STOPS Trump Use of 1798 Law to Deport Venezuelans |Clash Erupts Over Alien Enemies Act

In a stunning late-night decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has halted the Trump administration’s controversial plan to deport Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — a wartime law not used since WWII. The emergency ruling comes after civil rights groups warned of mass deportations at Texas detention centers, invoking fears of legal overreach and ethnic targeting. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, setting the stage for a dramatic legal showdown. Is history repeating itself?

Major Chaos in U.S Congress: Texas Rep. Al Green Ejected After Disrupting President Trump’s Speech

Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, was escorted out of the House chamber Tuesday night after disrupting President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress. Green, a longtime advocate for Trump’s impeachment, stood up and waved his cane at the president just minutes into the speech. His actions sparked a mix of cheers and boos from fellow lawmakers, causing a brief commotion. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., reminded members to maintain decorum, but when Green refused to back down, Johnson ordered the sergeant at arms to remove him. As Green was escorted out, Republicans mockingly chanted, “Nah nah nah nah, goodbye.” #Trump #TrumpSpeech #TrumpCongress #JointAddress #USCongress #TrumpSecondTerm #PresidentialAddress #TrumpPolicies #HouseChamber #Republicans #PoliticalDrama #TrumpAdministration #TrumpSupporters #AmericaIsBack #TrumpLive #Trump #AlGreen #Congress #JointAddress #Impeachment #HouseChamber #Republicans #MikeJohnson #USA #PoliticalDrama #HouseRules #PresidentialSpeech #TrumpSecondTerm #TrumpPolicies #TrumpSupporters #TrumpAddress ~HT.318~ED.346~

Trump-Netanyahu Call Sparks Bombshell Speculation: Are They Planning Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Sites?

Former President Donald Trump held a high-stakes phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid rising tensions in the Middle East. The two leaders reportedly discussed the ongoing deadlock in Gaza ceasefire negotiations, Iran's nuclear ambitions, and future U.S.-Israel cooperation. Trump’s explosive tweet—“We are on the same side of every issue”—has triggered intense speculation: is Trump backing a possible Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities? The call came just days after indirect U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Rome and with mounting Israeli pressure for a tougher American stance.

Trump’s Tariff U-Turn? After 145% China Duties, He Promises a Cut — But Keeps the Pressure On

Originally introduced in response to China’s alleged involvement in the fentanyl supply chain and other "unfair trade practices," the tariffs marked one of the most aggressive moves yet in U.S.-China economic tensions. #TrumpNews #ChinaTariffs #TradeWar #USChina #FentanylCrisis #EconomicPolicy #BreakingNews #DonaldTrump #TariffUpdate #SECChair #WhiteHouse #USPolitics #145PercentTariff Also Read US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.274~GR.122~ED.103~

U.S Army Commander Suspended Over 'Missing Trump Wall'| No Photos Of Trump, Vance, Hegseth Displayed

Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been suspended from command at Fort McCoy after the base failed to display official portraits of President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The glaring omission sparked backlash when empty frames were spotted on the command wall. Defense officials launched an immediate investigation, and the Department of Defense later updated the wall, saying “we fixed it.” Secretary Hegseth confirmed the suspension on X. The military called it an “unusual oversight,” but refused to share further details about the decision. #Trump #JDVance #PeteHegseth #FortMcCoy #MilitaryNews #Army #CommandWall #ColonelRamirez #TrumpAdministration #WhiteHouse #DefenseDept #USArmy #BreakingNews #PortraitFlap #LeadershipShakeup #DOD #TrumpPortrait #MilitaryCommand #USPolitics #ArmyInvestigation #MilitaryControversy #Pentagon #Vance #TrumpSupporters #ArmyBase #SheylaRamirez #NewsUpdate #XPost #GOP #MilitaryReform #CommandScandal Also Read Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc

POLL: 46% Say Trump’s China Tariffs Help NEITHER Side | Just 16% Believe They Benefit U.S. Alone

A new YouGov poll reveals growing public skepticism toward President Trump's China tariff policy. Only 16% of Americans believe the U.S. will benefit from his strategy, while 46% think neither country will gain long-term. The poll shows deep partisan divides, with 61% of Democrats saying no one benefits, and only 29% of Republicans believing tariffs help only the U.S. Meanwhile, nearly half of all Americans see trade with China as “very important” for the U.S. economy. As Trump doubles down, public doubt continues to grow. #TrumpTariffs #ChinaTrade #USChinaRelations #TradeWar #Tariffs #PollResults #ElonMusk #TrumpNews #EconomicPolicy #GlobalTrade #USPolitics #ChinaImports #TradeDebate #PublicOpinion #YouGovPoll #EconomicImpact #BusinessNews #AmericansReact #TrumpVsChina #TariffPolicy #Republicans #Democrats #Skepticism #TrumpStrategy #PollData #BreakingNews #USChinaTensions #WhiteHouse #EconomicBacklash #PoliticalDivide #TradeTalks ~HT.336~GR.122~
