The Blaze: GOP-controlled Texas House votes to impeach Trump ally Ken Paxton 121-23
The Texas House voted to impeach Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton on charges of bribery, abuse of office, and obstruction relating to his request for $3.3 million to pay a settlement to former employees who accused him of wrongdoing. Paxton denies the allegations, describing the impeachment process as illegal, unethical, and profoundly unjust. The impeachment was the first of its kind since 1975, and Paxton must step aside while he awaits trial in the Senate.
Breitbart: Trump, Cruz Speak Out Against Effort to Impeach Texas AG Ken Paxton
Former President Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz spoke out against the Texas House of Representatives' decision to impeach Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The allegations against Paxton include misapplication of public resources, bribery, and obstruction of justice. Trump called the impeachment attempt an example of "ELECTION INTERFERENCE!" and urged Republicans to block the process, while Cruz called it a "travesty" and argued that the Texas legislature should respect the choice of the voters. With a Republican majority in the state House, just 11 Republicans would have to join all Democrats to approve the articles of impeachment against Paxton, which would immediately suspend him from his position.
The Federalist Papers: Elon Musk Grills Target Over Sick Charity Donation, Twitter Exposes Retail Giant with Community Note
Target has been supporting the radical gay group GLSEN for years, even though the group "calls for gender ideology to be integrated into all classes, even math," and "encourages secret gender changes among children". The group urges schools to add "intersex", "transgender", "non-binary," and other left-wing sexual identities into all class work, while keeping confidential any information about students transitioning or self-identifying, and to make sure parents are not told of any such information unless they approve. Elon Musk questioned Target's donations to GLSEN via Twitter, but Target has not made any statement past its quote to Fox News claiming that it supports GLSEN.
Breitbart: Texas Attorney General Impeached, Immediately Suspended
Texas House impeaches Attorney General Ken Paxton on 20 articles of impeachment. Paxton is suspended from office as he awaits trial in Texas Senate.

Daily Wire: Huh? Chuck Schumer Slams ‘MAGA Supreme Court’ After A Unanimous Decision
Senator Chuck Schumer labeled the Supreme Court's unanimous decision against the Environmental Protection Agency and the Biden administration as the result of a "MAGA Supreme Court" eroding the country's environmental laws. However, Dan McLaughlin of National Review decried Schumer's claim as ludicrous, as it was a unanimous decision written by a George W. Bush appointee, joined by a GHW Bush appointee, a 2nd GW Bush appointee, 2 Obama appointees, and a Biden appointee. Kavanaugh wrote a concurring opinion warning that the act's coverage of wetlands must include adjacent ones, not only adjoining wetlands, which, if not, would create significant repercussions for water quality and flood control throughout the US.

National Review: The Corner: What Kissinger Knew
Heinz "Henry" Kissinger, the last remaining member of the Nixon cabinet, celebrated his 100th birthday. His life was varied, and by its nature, clandestine, making a comprehensive assessment of it nearly impossible. One thing he might be known for is the world-historical personality from whose career every semi-sentient political gnat feels entitled to pass sage unchallengeable judgment. Critics should be aware that a hegemon's intervention is as consequential as its inaction, and the moral force of the judgments made of an American leader's response to an event diminishes in proportion to the distance between that event and the interest of the American nation.

Red State: Report: Sinema Could Be Key to Unlocking Impasse Over Energy in Debt Ceiling Talks
Biden Administration and House Democrats may blow up debt ceiling talks with Republicans over work requirements for financial assistance. Senator Kyrsten Sinema may have a solution by exploring ways to reform energy permitting and transmission. Democrats are concerned that this may weaken green energy provisions and Sinema's support for the Build Back Better plan that they believe will hurt her reelection chances.
