Saving our democracy. We are a self-governing people of Law.
When Money & Power can buy rights and freedoms we step closer to the government's of Russia, N Korea and Iran. We move backwards in progress.
May we set a good precedent for the future and our kids.

Ken Paxton a GOP MAGA Christian far right conservative lawyer betrayed his religion by committing adultery, his oath of office to up whole the US Constitution by his corruption and abuse of his office. The Texas GOP could not standby any longer by the rampant corruption. I don’t understand how his wife, who is a GOP MAGA state senator in district 8, can standing by him after he humiliated her with his illicit affair and open corruption; I guess, birds of a feather flock together.
texas is out of control!
I will be shocked if the TX GOP actually hold this crook accountable and toss him from office. The GOP have developed a reputation for protecting their own, regardless of how much criminal activity one of their members has engaged in. Notably, DJT dodged two impeachments via the GOP "non-accountability policy". Let's see what happens. Maybe, just maybe the GOP is finally aligning with the laws?
This money hunger guy later end up in prison corrupt greed destroyed the state
Given who's in charge of this trial, it seems like another massive fraud taking place in Texas government.
just another corrupt Republican from Texas
Republicans confirm to be the most corrupt party. Republican corruption at its best! No dignity nor respect or love for America.
This is a witch hunt, revenge by biden for former lawsuits against biden.
You have committed so many crimes I can’t keep up with all of them.
Lock this crook up now.
What in the world is the Texas GOP standing to gain from impeaching one of their own? I’m not so naive to think they are just doing the right thing.
What's really sad is that there isn't a Zioni… ahm, politician alive today that hasn't done the same or worse as he has…
Trump dude help him out his greasy friends ain’t gots no money Don Don help us trump please
Pax Done
Another crooked Texas politician. What a sewer that state is.
Supreme Court Thomas did the same only a million x more $ think about it
The G.O.P. Has a serious grifter problem.
Handlebar Mustache Esq over here is about the most Texas thing I've ever seen. Did we get this guy on his cosplay day off?
