good morning from Day 5 of Ken Paxton's impeachment trial. Based on Dan Patrick's tally after lunch on Friday + my questionable counting skills, the state has just under 14 hours left and defense has about 14.5.

According to Dan Cogdell, Mark Penley will be on the stand today. Birdwell, who was in the Pentagon and injured on 9/11, leads a prayer after senators (jurors) stood for a moment of silence.

“Thank you for the first responders who stepped out of their homes, thinking that it would be a normal day.” Image

Happy Friday from Day 4 of the Paxton impeachment trial, where things are getting underway. “Give us the courage to stand when we must and kneel when we should,” said Sen. Sparks in the morning prayer. Image was Little calling Eric "Mr. Arroyo" yesterday? Def has a more respectful ring to it.

On cross, Little asks Vassar abt texts w/ other whistleblowers reacting to news stories reporting on Paxton allegations, like links to coloring books "to keep the kids (OAG attys) entertained"

House Board of Managers just walked in.

In other news, one of the high profile lawyers involved quoted Hunter S. Thompson to me on his way to the Senate floor. Any guesses? Image Angela Paxton gave a knowing smile to Tony Buzbee, who is defending her husband, as she walked to her seat. She also looked up to the gallery a few times and smiled. Now, Dan Patrick is swearing in jurors (senators) using the Sam Houston Bible.
