Republican Texas AG Ken Paxton is acquitted of 16 corruption charges at historic impeachment trial

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been acquitted of all charges at his impeachment trial. The verdict Saturday reaffirmed Paxton’s durability in America’s biggest red state. It’s also a broader victory for Texas’ hard right after an extraordinary trial that underscored fractures within the GOP nationally. Paxton was charged with 16 articles of impeachment accusing him of misconduct, bribery and corruption. He was accused of using his office to help a campaign donor who was under FBI investigation. He still faces trial on felony securities fraud charges and remains under a separate FBI investigation.

Today is the 103rd anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Remember—it only gave white women voting rights. BIPOC women waited decades more:
•1920: White Women
•1952: Asian Women
•1962: Native Women
•1965: Black Women
•1975: Latino Women

We must continue to protect voting rights. We have immense work to do yet.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She’s Eyeing Trump’s Vice President Spot

#Trump on #TruthSocial:

“So, the Witch Hunt continues! 19 people Indicated tonight, including the former President of the United States, me, by an out of control and very corrupt District Attorney who campaigned and raised money on, ‘I will get Trump,’” the former president wrote.

He just wrote "former President," an admission he knew he lost. Enough said.

#FaniWillis will save us all!

Just a thought: Maybe you shouldn’t be committing crimes if you don’t have the money to pay your defense attorneys. What’s up with all these @GOP leeches expecting everyone else to pay for their crimes?

GOP lawmaker warns of ‘civil war’ at fundraiser for indicted Trump electors — The Washington Post

Michigan state Rep. Matt Maddock (R) also compared efforts to prosecute fake Trump electors to Nazis’ attempts to subdue Jewish people before leading them into gas chambers in the Holocaust.

My guess? #Trump has audio and video tapes of every @GOP Senate and House member, proving all their corruption and heinous salacious activities. Because that's what the mob does.

Joe: What is so important about Trump the GOP is willing to throw away democracy to defend him? — MSNBC

A federal judge in New York on Monday dismissed Donald Trump's countersuit against E. Jean Carroll, the writer who won a $5 million verdict against the former president for battery and defamation this year. The Morning Joe panel discusses how Republicans and evangelicals are still rallying around Trump despite his current legal issues.

This is on #TommyTuberville. The @GOP should know. Biden is playing politics. Tuberville is playing ... the ignorant football coach who should leave politics to the people who know what they're doing.

Tuberville blasts Biden’s Space Command decision: ‘This is absolutely not over’ 

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) blasted President Biden’s decision Monday to keep the headquarters of the Space Command in Colorado, overturning former President Trump’s decision to move it to Alabama. “As soon as Joe Biden took office, he paused movement on that decision and inserted politics into what had been a fair and objective competition—not because…

Of course Trump was - and still is - lying to his base. He created the lie, and he and his @GOP band of neo-Nazi insurrectionists have continued to own it. Lying is the norm for #Republicans. It's their brand.

Just how much the former president believed his own lies about the 2020 election may determine what charges Smith brings.

Thank you, #tammyduckworth! The @GOP is sacrificing our military and our national defense because of their misogyny.
