Judge Slams Paxton’s ActBlue Lawsuit

A federal judge just slammed Texas AG Ken Paxton’s lawsuit against ActBlue, calling it a blatant political hit job aimed at undermining James Talarico’s Senate campaign. The judge found Paxton’s investigation into ActBlue—long delayed—suddenly ignited after Talarico’s massive fundraising haul through the platform. With evidence showing Paxton had openly discussed the case on conservative media and tied it to partisan goals, the court ruled the lawsuit was filed as retaliation, not to protect voters. Paxton is now barred from pursuing this case or similar ones against ActBlue in the future, while ActBlue celebrates the ruling as a victory for political fundraising as protected speech. The judge also highlighted Paxton’s pattern of politically motivated lawsuits, especially his silence on WinRed, a conservative fundraising platform.
