The Texas Senate on Tuesday rejected all of Attorney General Ken Paxton’s efforts to dismiss the articles of impeachment against him, moving forward with the first removal proceeding against a statewide elected official in more than a century.

The pretrial motions required a majority vote. The most support a motion to dismiss received was 10 out of 30 senators.

    There’s probably a Burning Man joke in there, but since I know that like 85% of attendees are just artists and festival people and not elite tech bros i kinda feel bad for that whole situation

      Yeah, it must be a bummer to get rained out like that. I did a bunch of big Maker Faire for many years, and Burning Man had some appeal, but I don’t like being dirty enough to get over that hurdle to attend. And I’m too broke now anyway.

      Also I have an old VW camper and the alkaline playa dirt would really hurt it. (In fact I think the previous owner did go there a few times, the lock tumblers were jammed full of fine powder when I got it).
