Now that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking on incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn (R) in the 2026 U.S. Senate primary, the attorney general’s office might have some big shoes to fill next year.Given Cornyn’s low approval ratings, there’s a good chance Texas will need a new “top cop,” says BlazeTV host Jill Savage.Thankfully, there is “someone that has experience fighting alongside Donald Trump at the Justice Department ... someone that Trump has called a true MAGA attorney and warrior for the Constitution” who has risen to the challenge. His name is Aaron Reitz, and he’s Paxton’s former senior Department of Justice official and deputy.On a recent episode of “Blaze News | The Mandate,” Reitz joined Jill and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson to share what motivated him to take on this challenge and how he plans to ensure Texas stays tough on crime while holding rogue, Soros-backed DAs accountable. “I know that if the president doesn't get a true MAGA attorney or a warrior for the Constitution in that Texas AG spot ... all kinds of dominoes are going to fall, and it's going to be very bad, not only for Texas but really for the nation,” says Reitz. “I can’t accept that scenario.”“What we need out of a Texas AG is somebody who first and foremost understands the civilizational crisis that we're in. It's not an exaggeration to say that we are in the midst of a war for the soul and the heart of our country,” he continues. “Texas in particular, just out of its sheer size, influence, scope, and power, is really always going to be where the heart of that fight is, and it's why Democrats are always competing to try to take Texas.”It would be a mistake, says Reitz, if Texas falls into what he calls “red-state complacency” — a phenomenon where red states forget that we are currently in the throes of a “civilizational and frankly even a spiritual cold war for our state and for our nation.” These states mistakenly figure that “tinkering on the margins” will “preserve liberty, preserve justice, and advance law and order.”But it’s not enough — not since Soros-funded district attorneys began “undermining law and order in Texas.” Texas counties, Reitz explains, “have massive amounts of autonomy and discretion,” meaning “ideological Democrats get governmental capture over their city and their county political apparatuses, and they just start advancing an aggressive left-wing agenda.”“The Texas AG, though, as a statewide elected official representing the interests of the whole state and robed with immense constitutional powers, plays a critical part in suppressing the extent of the damage that these blue Soros-funded DAs do,” says Reitz, noting that this calculated suppression requires the AG “to get creative with the exercise of the weapons that are in statute.”One creative legal strategy he plans to employ is called a "quo warranto memo" — a common-law mechanism allowing a state to challenge the authority of a public official or entity, such as a district attorney, if they are repeatedly and flagrantly violating the law.“I want to seek affirmative measures for the state of Texas — state versus Soros-funded DA — because if that Soros-funded DA is making our streets unsafe, releasing criminals, making families paranoid ... and they are abusing their prosecutorial discretion to the extent that the cities are rotting, I want to be the kind of Texas AG that comes directly for you,” says Reitz. “You've got a state attorney general who is going to come and hold you accountable and ideally get you out of office.”To hear more of Reitz’s plans to keep Texas tough, watch the episode above.Want more from 'Blaze News | The Mandate'?To enjoy more provocative opinions, expert analysis, and breaking stories you won’t see anywhere else, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Looking for the latest Steal a Brainrot codes? Taking clear cues from Grow a Garden, this new Roblox experience dismisses the idea of patience, perseverance, and the rewards that follow and instead has you steal the hard work of others. It's poetic in a way. So much so that we're not sure what to make of it. But freebies are freebies, and that's what Steal a Brainrot game codes are good for. But players are loving it. While it's far from meeting the lofty concurrent player goals of its inspiration like Grow a Garden codes or Blox Fruits codes, it's putting Brainrot Evolution codes on high alert. Already certain it's not the one for you? Consider trying out Blue Lock Rivals codes instead. That's a Roblox game with an idea that copycats are struggling to replicate.

WWII was one of the deadliest human conflicts in history. The scale of the devastation is mind-boggling to consider. But these grave facts have not prevented generations of comedians, artists, and game developers from getting silly with it. Heroes of Valor is a more absurd take on the chaos of Battlefield: 1942. It’s a class-based team shooter in the spirit of Team Fortress 2. The game recently launched into early access and currently has a “very positive” rating on Steam.

Two of the most prominent names in the history of Dungeons & Dragons are now working for one of its competitors, as Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford are now working for Critical Role’s publishing company, which includes its fantasy tabletop RPG, Daggerheart.

While Jujutsu Kaisen is known for its intense fight scenes and stellar animation, I believe its real value lies in how it portrays raw, emotional moments. The show describes these moments in a way that tends to stick with the community, and it's absolutely breathtaking.

Everybody hates spoilers. Whether we’re talking about TV shows or sports, the simple fact is that people like to be surprised. The problem, though, is that if you spend any amount of time online, it’s easy to stumble across a spoiler you were desperately trying to avoid. It’s something that’s happened to me too many times to count. Sometimes I’ll hop on Twitter to see what’s going on in the news and accidentally see a post about how a White Lotus episode ends. Other times, I’ve inadvertently seen social media posts about a crazy ending to a football game I was 10 minutes behind on. It’s certainly not the end of the world, but it is a frustration. And to that end, Threads today started rolling out a new feature that makes it easy for users to hide spoilers in their posts. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg briefly mentioned it on Threads early on Monday, and since then, a few more details have emerged. How the feature works Following up on Zuckerberg’s announcement, Instagram head Adam Mosseri explained how the feature works. “We’re testing a way for you to hide spoilers in Threads posts,” Mosseri said. “When creating a post, highlight text or images and tap “mark spoiler” to blur it. People can reveal the hidden text or image by tapping it in their feed. Threads is the only app of its kind to have this type of content label, so I’m excited to see people use it to share perspectives about what they're into.” The feature went live for some users this afternoon, as evidenced by this post from the Meta Newsroom Threads account. The implementation is rather straightforward and will likely help keep people actively scrolling through Threads even when there are spoilers potentially lurking around the corner. Indeed, in a press release, Meta made a point of highlighting how Threads is increasingly becoming a discussion hub for popular TV shows: "Popular shows like ‘The Last of Us’ and ‘The White Lotus’ regularly trended on Threads during their seasons, a clear sign of the app’s growing community of entertainment and pop culture enthusiasts," the press release reads in part. All in all, Threads' new spoiler-free feature is a nice addition to the app. And if you're regularly on social media, it's not too different from a similar spoiler feature on Reddit. The post New Threads feature will finally help users avoid TV spoilers appeared first on BGR.
