Texas AG Ken Paxton sues Harris County again over guaranteed income program
SUMMARY: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Harris County over its revised guaranteed income program, “Uplift Harris.” Initially providing $500 monthly payments without restrictions to nearly 2,000 low-income families, the program faced legal challenges from Paxton, leading the Texas Supreme Court to block it. In response, Harris County introduced a revised version with restrictions on payment usage. Paxton argues that this new version remains unlawful and closely resembles the original program. County attorney Christian Mene has expressed readiness to defend the updated program in court against the lawsuit.
Christian Menefee accused Paxton of “using people living in poverty as a means to score political points” after he challenged the guaranteed income program again.

Fort Bend County Judge KP George accused in fake social profile case to influence election
SUMMARY: Fort Bend County Judge KP George is under investigation for alleged election fraud, linked to his former campaign consultant, Theal Patel. George stated he is cooperating as a witness, not a target, despite being accused of knowing about Patel’s fake social media posts. Patel, who was arrested for felony charges last month, allegedly used a fictitious account to post racist comments. Investigators claim George directed Patel to create these posts to undermine rival campaigns. Legal experts suggest George could face similar misdemeanor and felony charges as Patel. No formal charges have been filed against George as of now.
