We would start a page about how much we hate #TedCruz but we would like to do something not many other folks are already doing.

The further you dig, the more you realize #MCTX #GOP is a #chaos gold mine. Look at these minutes from organizational mtg of county GOP committee. Started at 6:30 & adjourned at 11 mins 'til 10 w/o even finalizing the agenda. @TexasMonthly

.@LastWeekTonight, @ABCNewsLive, & @TexasMonthly cover this. McCarthy isn't the only #GOP leader held captive by far-right. Extremists in Montgomery Co, TX, (which votes 70%+ GOP) hell-bent on chaos in preventing elected chair from running mtg. #GOPchaos https://t.co/M6ICxX7TJE

Elephant cannibalism in Montgomery County. #GOP #TXGOP #GOPInfighting 🐘

There was a #feral cat loose at the #SOTU address last night.

[Texas Politics Observer @ObserverTexas]

More #performative nonsense from @GregAbbott_TX. Look at the generic commitments here. The "primary decision makers" of what and for whom? "Parents have access to curriculum." That is already a standard. "Protecting students..." from ideologues, fully support it. #Abbott

It has been almost 20 years since a Republican received a majority of the national vote in a presidential election.

Katy ISD, home of the most banned books of any ISD in Texas, has banned a best-selling author for profanity on social media.

Have they checked the social media accounts of the parents who are professing their outrage...there are some doosies. #PerformativeRage #CancelCulture

[Texas Politics Observer @ObserverTexas]

I'm sure this is somehow Biden's fault too...At least Kevin McCarthy and his five whackadoo #GOP prison keepers will say it is.

#ThanksBiden

[Texas Politics Observer @ObserverTexas]

Why won't #KevinMcCarthy come close to condemning un-American, immoral, unethical, potentially illegal, & otherwise bad behavior from members of #GOP? Because he is in a prison of his own making & these are his keepers. #PartyOfValues #GOPMajority #118thCongress #SpeakerMcCarthy

[Texas Politics Observer @ObserverTexas]

Noted moron & TX embarrassment, Ronny (Dr Feelgood) Jackson, a performative politician at best, files a bill to prevent teachers from using their own paycheck to join organizations to represent them. There's NO federal funding of unions, as he would mislead you to believe. #GOP

[Texas Politics Observer @ObserverTexas]

If you "win" by giving away all your power, you can be removed if one person calls for it, members are trying to physically fight, and a half dozen people had to abstain.... is it a win?

The party of reality-TV president continues to provide reality-TV content in #HouseOfRepresentatives. Now they are threatening to beat each other up, having to be pulled away from one another. #embarrassing #McCarthyConcessions #GOPRealityTV #GOPInDisarray https://t.co/UeuY96Gr5c

[Philip Bump @pbump]

Legit wild stuff.

You all may have Senator @CoryBooker but we have @SenTedCruz and @JohnCornyn...

Nevermind.

You win.

@mkraju Her mom's face warms my heart!

[Texas Politics Observer @ObserverTexas]

Any bets on which Republicans (if any) break ranks to vote to confirm #KetanjiBrownJackson to #SCOTUS?

[Texas Politics Observer @ObserverTexas]

I will need the photo of the first Black woman vice president presiding over the vote for the first Black woman #SCOTUS justice to be put into every government and history book in America. Let the anti-CRT folks take that away! #KetanjiBrownJackson #KamalaHarris
