Republicans should be nervous if this is happening in places like Texas. Sure, Paxton’s extra corrupt and it’s been ignored by the Texas legislature for too long, but accountability is what matters. And those who enabled him won’t be forgotten.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton impeached, suspended from duties

The House voted 121-23 to suspend the attorney general and refer him to the Senate for trial on charges of bribery, abuse of office and obstruction. It was the first such impeachment since 1975.

@TonyStark A lot of media is tiptoeing around identifying the Paxton impeachment as a manifestation of the inevitable GOP schism we all saw coming years ago.

Lindsay Graham said it out loud in 2016 with "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it."

@stacey_campbell Great point. I’m not surprised to see it underplayed. It’s a bigger deal than many want to admit.
@TonyStark @stacey_campbell don't kid yourself. Trump could beat the Wiemar Democrats in 2024.

@AliceMarshall @TonyStark @stacey_campbell Gotta disagree - Biden sold McCarthy a shit-sandwich and got him to eat it.

McCarthy got very little of what he was asking for and got out-maneuvered. Biden realized we don't have the House and took crashing the economy of the table. This deal also prevents Repubs from another bite at the apple until after 2024.

Could Biden lose? Yes, I'm not taking anything for granted, but he's the only won he beat TFG and can do so again.
