A federal judge on Thursday blocked Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton from suing ActBlue, citing concerns that the lawsuit is an attempt to sabotage his political rival’s campaign. 

U.S. District Judge Richard Gaylore Stearns’s ruling in Massachusetts marks a loss for Paxton, who filed a lawsuit against the Democratic donor platform in April, alleging it was allowing fraudulent and foreign donations and lying about its donor vetting policies and operations.
