Investigate doctors. Distract with hoaxes. Slip a $4.2M perk.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating pediatricians for giving vaccines.^[2]

Here is what it means for your family. Paxton announced an inquiry into an alleged conspiracy between pediatricians, drug makers, and insurers. At least one Texas pediatrician says she is under investigation.^[2] He also opened a probe into the American Academy of Pediatrics.^[2] Texas just made it easier to skip school shots. Only 93.3% of kindergarteners are fully vaccinated against measles, and deadly outbreaks are unfolding.^[2]

While that plays out, taxpayers face a different hit. AP reports Sen. Roger Marshall sought a $4.2 million earmark that could benefit his Kansas ranch.^[3]

At the same time, right-wing influencers spread a false claim that Democrat James Talarico had been checked into an Ohio psychiatric facility. Elon Musk boosted it to millions of people. The audio “proof” did not confirm the claim. The hoax drew attention away from reporting on Paxton’s donors and questions about his conduct.^[1]

Want honest work done? You do not have to sign up as a Democrat to reject this. You only have to refuse being played. If you want leaders focused on your kid’s shots and your tax dollars, not stunts and self-dealing, take their power away in the 2026 midterms.

Enough games. Choose people over perks.

• Ask your state representative whether they back investigations that make it harder for kids to get vaccines.
• Share the AP report on the $4.2M earmark with a neighbor who thinks corruption doesn’t touch their wallet.
• Vote in 2026 to replace the officials who treated public office like a personal perk.
• Check your voter registration at Vote.gov

Countdown

The 2026 midterms are in 17 days.
