After surviving impeachment, Paxton’s abuse of office and targeting of political opponents are increasingly petty and dangerous.

FILE - Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton speaks at the Austin Police Association, Sept. 10, 2020, in Austin, Texas. On Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024, LGBTQ+ advocacy group PFLAG National filed a lawsuit against the Texas Attorney General's office after being asked to hand over information about its support of transgender children receiving gender-confirming medical care.

We emailed Paxton’s office to ask about this apparent trend, which includes suing several school districts, backing challengers to Court of Criminal Appeals justices and targeting a Catholic nonprofit for aiding migrants in El Paso. So far, we’ve heard only crickets and have concerns that the revenge tour will have additional stops.
