Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to face criminal trial on securities fraud charges
SUMMARY: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will finally face trial on April 15, 2024, after eight years of delays in a case concerning two felony indictments for securities fraud. Paxton is accused of breaking state securities regulations and failing to disclose stock transactions. He was acquitted of impeachment charges in September but did not face the securities fraud charges at that time. Paxton's special prosecutors believe that this trial will be different and will be conducted fairly in an impartial courtroom with the possibility of prison time. Paxton's defense team is satisfied with the trial date and the judge presiding over the case. Additionally, Paxton still faces other pending legal battles, including a wrongful termination lawsuit and potential federal criminal charges.

Rafah is a dusty, rubble-strewn ghost town 2 months after Israel invaded to root out Hamas – KXAN Austin
SUMMARY: Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip, has become a deserted, war-ravaged area following a two-month Israeli military invasion targeting Hamas, their final stronghold in Gaza. Abandoned buildings and rubble dominate the landscape, with few civilians remaining. Israel alleges that Hamas turned civilian areas into combat zones, creating deadly traps. Approximately 1.4 million Palestinians fled to Rafah, now reduced to around 50,000 under dire conditions in a “humanitarian area.” Aid efforts are stalled, with dangerous routes and limited access to resources. The humanitarian crisis worsens as Israel pushes forward its offensive, despite significant challenges in aid delivery and civilian survival.
