Good.

.@JohnCornyn, don’t forget that Indicted Ken Paxton is also a pen thief!

Hard to run from prison, Ken

Over two decades ago, I had the great honor of clerking for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. I wrote this remembrance for those interested in reading it:

Ken Paxton’s acquittal is shocking but not surprising. The way forward for Texas and our country is to bring together people across the political spectrum who are committed to protecting democracy.

[Justin Nelson @JustinNelson_TX]

Does Tony Buzbee care to address that when Paxton told his staff about the affair “during his hard-fought 2018 re-election campaign” and falsely said it was over, he did so “out of concern that it would become public”? He suppressed it and barely won.

You’ve heard the story about indicted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stealing a $1,000 pen from the metal-detector tray at the Collin County Courthouse. But have you seen the video?

[Justin Nelson @JustinNelson_TX]

@steve_vladeck I was hoping for Tacoization.

[Mark Elliott @markmobility]

Hey Ken Paxton (@TXAG), by blocking me, you've made this video by @JustinNelson_TX go viral. 😂😂😂

[Justin Nelson @JustinNelson_TX]

@markmobility Thanks!

[Justin Nelson @JustinNelson_TX]

@NormOrnstein @BrendanNyhan Hmmm.... Let’s go to the videotape.

@izzymax585 With statistics like this, sure seems like Texas is in play folks!

[Justin Nelson @JustinNelson_TX]

@dbryanjones @jamesrhenson @SUR_Texas Don’t take @jamesrhenson’s polls for the @TexasTribune to the bank. I’m surprised he’s citing them here to show how the electorate performed. In 2018, for example, he vastly underestimated support for Beto and me. In my case he was off by 9 points 2 weeks away from the election.

[Justin Nelson @JustinNelson_TX]

@mkoplow Great game. Still not 2017 Game 5.

[Justin Nelson @JustinNelson_TX]

@Nate_Cohn For example, the margin in my race for Texas Attorney General in 2018 (-3.5%) was closer than the margins in the Attorney General races in Florida, Arizona, and Ohio.

[Justin Nelson @JustinNelson_TX]

@jordanprutkin @astros Ouch. Went further than the Yankees and As. And the Red Sox and Nationals didn't even make the playoffs so.....

[Justin Nelson @JustinNelson_TX]

@JoshShapiroPA @Wawa @sheetz I can assure you that the Texas equivalent--@Whataburger and @tacopalenque--does not cause any grief and in fact brings joy to any day.

[Justin Nelson @JustinNelson_TX]

@evanasmith I think you mean, “Turns out the race for Texas Attorney General was really close, contrary to conventional wisdom. And we should have covered it more because not only was it close, it’s a really important office and the current occupant is indicted!”

[Justin Nelson @JustinNelson_TX]

@evanasmith @TexasTribAbby @evanasmith is that your way of saying, “Texas is in play folks”?
