AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Justice Department Clash: GOP senators grilled Acting AG Todd Blanche over Trump’s new $1.776B “anti-weaponization fund,” with lawmakers saying they got no clear answers on how claims work or who qualifies—while Democrats call it a slush fund. Tech & Privacy: AG Ken Paxton sued Meta/WhatsApp, alleging the company misleads Texans about “end-to-end encryption,” and the fight is piling onto earlier Paxton privacy cases. Courts & Sports: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby got a June 1 injunction hearing date in his NCAA eligibility fight, after a judge recused. Public Safety: Houston’s city is investigating after a 14-year-old was shocked by an energized light pole at a southeast park, sending him into cardiac arrest. Crime: East Texas authorities say multiple arrests followed an investigation into child sexual assault, and a former educational aide was arrested for allegedly swinging a 5-year-old upside down. Politics Watch: A Bexar County DA runoff pits Jane Davis against Luz Elena Chapa as the Senate GOP’s internal ICE funding fight stalls.
