"Isn’t it a coincidence that Musk chose to sue Media Matters in Texas on the same day that Texas Attorney General Paxton announced an investigation into Media Matters? A cynical person might conclude that Musk and Paxton were working in concert!

We can learn a lot about Musk by the company he keeps—and Ken Paxton is bad company."

It is extraordinary how quickly we have seen the weaponization of state attorney general offices for partisan political purposes. To expect anything else from #KenPaxton would be foolishness. The #Texas legislature however, had the opportunity to remove him from office, but opted otherwise

The ability of the #GOP to overlook #ElonMusk’s overt #Antisemitism is just another confirmation of their willingness to travel on the road to full fledged #Fascism

Honestly doesn’t matter too much what the verdict is in the final Paxton impeachment. Texas Republicans on Paxton’s side are violent, sociopathic extremists. The Texas Republicans on the prosecuting side are also violent, sociopathic extremists.

The best we can do is hope their intraparty spat distracts them enough to slow down the suffering they are all trying to inflict on regular Texans.
