🚨House General Investigating Committee is meeting at 3:45 p.m. 🚨 #txlege
DRAMA ALERT: Chris Hilton, chief of the genera litigation division of the Office of the Attorney General, is trying to register to testify in this meeting. He has a lot to say in defense of Paxton: #txlege
Also, Hilton said he’s here to testify, but then the interview was abruptly ended by a special advisor. Before that, he would not say where AG Paxton is or why he’s not here. #txlege
Forgot to update: the committee went into private session minuteeeeeeeeeees ago. Like lots of minutes ago.

The Texas House General Investigating Committee is meeting right now to discuss investigation into Attorney General Ken Paxton's settlement with the whistleblowers who accused him of using his office for political favors for political donors and one of his friends. #txlege Image
Erin Epley, one of the attorneys of the committee, says Matter A "relates to the attorney general himself Kenneth Paxton."

She says Paxton's role includes defending the state when a state agency wrongfully terminates an employe. #txlege
Epley says that 14 out 15 people interviewed in the Office of the Attorney General expressed "grave concerns" of fear of retaliation.

"Dear children of the world: it's not supposed to be this way."

I took this photo at one of the memorials days after the shooting a Robb Elementary School in #Uvalde on May 24, 2022.

19 kids and 2 teachers were killed. It's not supposed to and it doesn't have to be this way. Image
The families of the 21 have been calling on the #txlege to raise the minimum age to buy the type of gun used by the shooter.

The GOP majority opposes changing the law. The families say this change could help prevent the next mass shooting. kut.org/politics/2023-…
Today, truly is a sad day. Like a terrible day, especially for the families of the 21 victims who have had to live w/out the people they love the most.

My colleagues at @TexasStandard talk to some family members & I beg you to listen to their stories. We must not forget the 21.

Sen. John Cornyn, Texas’ senior senator, just got on the stage.

Folks here are booing him big time. #txpol
Cornyn talks about how “when tragedy strikes, the left's knee jerk reaction is to say we should confiscate guns of law abiding Texas.”

He says he will not support new restrictions for gun owners. Crowd continues to boo. Loud boos.
Cornyn says what’s on the table in terms of gun-related negotiations in Congress “more mental health resources, more support for our schools & making sure that violent criminals and the mentally ill cannot buy a firearm.”

More boos. Cornyn encourages folks to check his website.

I'm listening to the new season of Embedded and it's breaking my heart. It's about the shooting at The Capital Gazette newspaper.

I remember when that happened. I was a newspaper reporter in Utah.
npr.org/2021/02/17/968…
That day I talked to my mom. She wanted to know what was happening at the newspaper in Annapolis.

I sent her news articles. Eventually I went home, after filing a few stories. And then I cried. I thought: shit, there's people who will kill us for doing our job.
It was my first job out of college, so everything felt more personal, and a lot.

That evening, one of my colleagues at @standardex posted on Facebook this. It was scary to know that we could also be a target on that same day. Luckily, nothing happened to us.
