Listened to a couple hours of the Texas house debating impeachment against our corrupt attorney general. Kind of shocked to hear the final vote, overwhelmingly for the articles. Paxton is removed from office pending the trial. Wow. 🇺🇸

@manton What is this wizardry that causes Republicans to hold other Republicans accountable?

@danielpunkass Amazing what can happen when it’s not completely partisan by default.

@manton @danielpunkass interestingly,

If Paxton had asked his rich friend to pay instead of from Texas budget, we wouldn’t be here. But nevertheless, 🍿

@manton I’m surprised he’s in such jeopardy of being removed. I would have never imagined the Texas GOP controlled house would want to get rid of one of their own. Especially someone as high profile and Trumpy as Paxton.

@rcjackson I guess my expectations are low for anything but party-line votes.
