"In many ways, Paxton isn’t just aligned with Trump. He’s a state-level replica. A proving ground. A preview of what Trumpism looks like when it’s fully internalized and locally applied." - @Nick_Anderson_

MUST READ: @cjdelgross on the @KenPaxtonTX
impeachment.

Does a great job clarifying that Paxton was NOT cleared of anything. It was a political exercise designed to assure acquittal.

The impeachment exposes @DanPatrick as maybe a little smarter, but equally corrupt as Paxton.

[DevilDog Diaries🇺🇲 @cjdelgross]

Ken Paxton’s impeachment trial exposes the staggering depth of the corruption protecting him, as his top political allies funneled millions to the very person acting as his judge, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.

A pro-Paxton PAC bankrolled Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick with $3 million in donations and loans just days before trial rules were finalized. Paxton’s political survival has long relied on dark money and billionaire donors buying protection.

Texans deserve accountability, not a rigged system where justice is bought by the defendant's allies.

The "Texas Republican Party" is dead.

What's left is Trump's proxy party of MAGA extremists whose only orders are strict fealty to Trump & his billionaires, endless culture wars, & big government overreach.

The Texas brand has been abandoned entirely.

Context: TX Lt. Gov @DanPatrick was the Judge at the trial. Patrick took $3M from Paxton backers before the trial. Patrick is a Paxton donor himself. He ruled to limit testimony & blocked motions to compel Paxton & others to testify. @KenPaxtonTX wasn't "cleared", the fix was in.

[Lone Star Project @lsptex]

Talk is cheap.

Texas Rs don't get to claim credit for "trying to stop" a racist white nationalist like @bofrench only when it's convenient. We'll see what they really stand for in the fall...

Why won’t Governor Abbott send his appointed Education Commissioner to answer why he is withholding $130 million from the students of Dallas ISD?

Because Abbott doesn’t want to be held accountable for cheating our kids.

An idea to help folks who tweet. A few folks drunk-tweet and give folks evidence they are morons instead of folks just thinking they are morons…breathalyzer for X so we stop drunk-tweets… Too many self anointed pundits tweet garbage when they are sober, it’s 100% worse when they can’t handle their liquor… #txlege

@kenpaxton's TOTAL wipeout of @johncornyn shows that Cornyn was cooked waaay before Trump endorsed

The real takeaway is that Cornyn is a relic of a TX Republican Party that no longer exists. TX Rs are now just a bunch of bootlickers who get told what to do & do what they're told

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

Senator John Cornyn’s defeat to the Trump-endorsed Ken Paxton is proof that the president is going after Republicans guilty of minor deviations too, @jonathanchait argues: https://t.co/WWc39ewxCj

[Lauren French @laurennfrench]

Across the board, Republicans are mass-deleting their prior posts about Paxton, be it his scandals or his affairs.

[Senate Majority PAC @MajorityPAC]

We were going to send out a reminder of why Ken Paxton is so terrible.

But the NRSC already did it for us.

Democrats have long called out Ken Paxton’s record for what it is — criminal. But now, a growing number of Republicans are stepping up and admitting it, too.

Watch until the end to see who’s breaking ranks. 👇

President Trump's unprecedented dismissal of the National Science Board spells disaster for the National Science Foundation.

This administration has hindered our country's scientific excellence at every turn. I joined @RepZoeLofgren to demand that President Trump reinstate the Board immediately.
