Trump backs Ken Paxton and signals active role in Texas GOP Senate fight
President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: - "Congratulations to the Dumocrat Party! Al Green, one of the most mentally deficient Congressmen in the history of our Country, has lost, in a landslide, his seat in Congress - But I will miss that lunatic not screaming and violently waving his cane at me during my next State of the Union Speech.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!" - "Congratulations to Ken Paxton on such a tremendous win, and to John Cornyn for having run a strong and powerful race but, more importantly, having had a truly great career. John will remain my friend for a long time to come, as we both watch Ken become a fantastic, common sense Senator, one who is respected by all.
Neuman, may be the worst TEXAS candidate I have ever seen. A strong Open Borders advocate, he is WEAK ON CRIME, believes there are 6 genders, is insulting to Jesus Christ, will never support the Military, was a big Mask Wearer until recently, and is a Vegan who dislikes meat, not exactly a good way to be if you're wanting to win an Election in Texas.
Jasmine Crockett, a very low IQ individual, who is no relation to the legendary frontiersman, Davy Crockett, would have been a far better choice for the Dumocrats. I will do some nice, big, beautiful rallies for Ken. - "It is critically important that the CFTC's exclusive authority over Prediction Markets is maintained, and that they will thrive.

Under my leadership, we are setting "rules of the road" that are the Gold Standard for the States. We cannot have SCUM like Chris Christie, Letitia James, Tim Walz, and JB Pritzker setting the rules!
Other Countries are after this new form of Financial Market, and we want to remain at the top. Likewise, and even more importantly, where we are currently the Crypto (Bitcoin, etc.) Capital of the World, other Countries are trying diligently to replace us in that capacity, but we won't let that happen.
It is a major Industry, and we must protect it. Mike Selig, CFTC Chairman, and respected by all, is doing a great job.

Mike Selig, CFTC Chairman, and respected by all, is doing a great job. The most geopolitically relevant signal in the batch is the explicit endorsement of Ken Paxton and the promise of personal campaigning in Texas, which shows Trump is still shaping the Republican Senate field and keeping leverage over a major state party apparatus.
That matters for federal power, since a Trump-aligned Senate faction affects confirmations, sanctions oversight, military funding, and the broader durability of his agenda. The Al Green post is mainly domestic trolling and signals continued rhetorical escalation rather than policy change.
The CFTC and crypto prediction-markets post is economically relevant, but it is still mostly a domestic regulatory message. It does, however, reinforce that the administration wants the U.S. to remain dominant in crypto and new financial markets, with the CFTC as the preferred regulator.
Historically, Trump has repeatedly used social media to pressure allies, reward loyalists, and frame policy fights as part of a broader nationalist competition, and this batch fits that pattern, with no direct foreign-policy shift announced here.
