The votes have been counted, and the official Underdogs of the #PresidentialDebate2024 are:
Cats in Ohio
The United States Constitution
Friggin Fracking

[Texas Underdog @texasunderdog]

Fact check: Ohio woman accused of eating cat is from Canton, not from Springfield.

The cat-eating lady is from Canton y’all, get the story straight. GAWD!

“Hearsay within hearsay within hearsay,” Rep. John Smithee points out the importance of due process to protect the public, no matter what.

[Brad Johnson @bradj_TX]

Rep. Smithee now speaking against the resolution.

“I’m not here to tell you that Ken Paxton should not be impeached…this house cannot impeach General Paxton on the record it has before it.”

FWIW, we perused the Senate Journal of the Pa Ferguson #impeachment and at that trial stage, the senators were allowed to amend/sever charge by charge before voting up/down on the final resolution. #txlege

[Texas Underdog @texasunderdog]

…and they do NOT concur! What great comic relief from the Holland girls!

[Justin Holland @justinaholland]

I got some sweet visitors today at the Capitol.

Transportation Chair @TerryCanales40 ripped up 10 voting cards for Senate bills this morning, protesting the lack of HB movement in the Senate. #txlege

“It is not my intention to call or hear or vote on any Senate bills until the House’s bills start to move in the Senate.”

Explaining the legislative act of ‘Chubbing’ to new staff is exhausting. Too many giggles.

[Texas Underdog @texasunderdog]

@scottbraddock The House has different rules and deadlines than does the Senate, so this is comparing Maryland-grown apples to California-grown oranges.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Loving reminder to well-meaning progressives that the vast majority of folks in our country can't just move somewhere else. The ability to pick up and start a new chapter elsewhere is a privilege on so many levels. Please keep that in mind.

Thank @TxDPS for watching over the people’s offices and this historic place that others seek to destroy.
