It is very possible that the Republican TX House will impeach AG Ken Paxton as soon as tomorrow. In TX, an official is immediately removed from office until his trial. https://t.co/osQNBjMq76

I'm no expert on the particulars of this issue. But given that this is not a decision with immediate near-term costs for Warner/Discovery this just adds to evidence that the Zaslav & the folks running the company are pure garbage. Remember, same team plowing CNN into the ground. https://t.co/FjGFcO4cmS

Ironically, calling this a hostage situation is the one point AOC and Matt Gaetz agree on.
More from Gaetz, who rejects any debt limit compromise with the White House: “I think my conservative colleagues for the most part support Limit, Save, Grow, & they don't feel like we should negotiate with our hostage.”

-From @davidfrum's piece on a "man radically and pathetically unready for national leadership."https://t.co/0qkEBirIxi
Nate Silver probably reveals more than what he intends here, and he's speaking for a large segment of the pundit class. Most of the non-backsliding NeverTrumpers objected less to the man's character and more to his attacks on democracy, rhetoric of hate, and nascent fascism. By that standard, the only candidate they shouldn't treat with disdain is Asa Hutchinson, and it would take at least two black swans for him to get the nomination.
Though indictment can certainly qualify as black swanRemains pretty amazing to me how disdainfully the NeverTrump crew treats Republican candidates other than Trump.
