1/x What is happening to @KenPaxtonTX is a travesty.
For the last nine years, Ken has been the strongest conservative AG in the country. Bar none. No attorney general has battled the abuses of the Biden admin more ferociously—and more effectively—than has Paxton.
2/x. That’s why the swamp in Austin wants him out. The special interests don’t want a steadfast conservative AG.
I understand that people are concerned about Ken’s legal challenges. But the courts should sort them out.
3/x Virtually all of the information in the articles was public BEFORE Election Day, and the voters chose to re-elect Ken Paxton by a large margin.
In my view, the Texas Legislature should respect the choice of the Texas voters.

Our economy is now on the edge of what would be a fiscal catastrophe all because of the Biden administration’s ineptitude.
After doing next to nothing to avoid a rail strike, President Biden assured the American people that this matter was settled. That was a brazen lie. 1/x
Now, this admin expects Congress to step into the dispute & pick winners & losers.
As a matter of principle, I don’t support gov intervention to decide terms of employment. We shld extend the cooling-off period, as Congress has done b4, & send both parties back to the table. 2/x
For that reason, I was proud to cosponsor Senator Sullivan’s amendment to extend the cooling-off period and allow the negotiations to continue in order to reach a resolution that addresses the needs of both sides. 3/x
Texas Bar 'examined the Grievance and determined that the information alleged does not demonstrate Professional Misconduct or a Disability. Pursuant to the Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, this matter has therefore been classified as an Inquiry and has been dismissed.' 2/x
Translation: The Texas Bar found the complaint to be baseless. 3/x
