Texas Senate Runoff Shock: President Trump endorsed AG Ken Paxton over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the GOP primary runoff, calling Paxton a “true MAGA Warrior” and saying Cornyn wasn’t supportive “when times were tough,” a move that immediately jolted prediction markets and tightened the race as early voting runs through Friday. Legal & Ethics Fallout: The endorsement lands as Paxton faces fresh scrutiny over controversies tied to his office, including a recent investigation into a plea deal in a Waco child sex abuse case. Health Policy Clash: A Kansas judge protected access to gender-affirming care for transgender minors as Texas Children’s Hospital moves to comply with a settlement requiring a “detransition clinic.” Consumer Protection: Paxton also scored a settlement stopping Albertsons from misting organic produce with synthetic pesticides. Local Economy & Logistics: C.H. Robinson opened a South Texas fresh-produce logistics center near the Pharr-Reynosa bridge. Public Safety & Crime: Paxton sued a DFW-area roofing company over alleged storm-scams targeting elderly Texans, while Odessa police arrested a repeat pharmacy robber.
