THE VOTE is 121-23 to impeach Ken Paxton

Dude has been under indictment for over 8 years for securities fraud

His own aides wanted him brought up on corruption/bribery charges

He wouldn't show his messages to the special house committee regarding J6

His cruelty towards trans kids and adults in unmatched

Hell, he even stole expensive pens

What did he do to get TX republicans to actually take action?

There's likely also stuff behind the scenes. The Trump/Establishment split is playing out in this, I suspect.

However, I never rule out the fragility of people who base their identity on their social status. (IE: neolibs of all stripes, but the overtly racist ones in particular.)
