The Texas Senate on Tuesday rejected all of Attorney General Ken Paxton’s efforts to dismiss the articles of impeachment against him, moving forward with the first removal proceeding against a statewide elected official in more than a century.

The pretrial motions required a majority vote. The most support a motion to dismiss received was 10 out of 30 senators.

    No, this is almost definitely it.

    Tech companies are already done with texas’s shit with a lot of the companies that tried to shift to texas going back to states where they have working power and their staff aren’t stressed out over human rights violations.

    And just look at desantis and the other losers. trump style “masks off” bigotry only really works for trump. Everyone else loses interest pretty fast and start looking at “moderate” republicans. Which is an increasing concern as texas shifts to “purple”. Because texas is not going to elect anyone competent. But they might elect a sinema-esque DINO

    So throw a few people under the bus and use that to make people believe “it is getting better” as you continue to smear shit on yourself.
