Which you won't be able to see if you've quit TwiX. The day began cold and uh, shriveled.

Snark did not run as strong as in years past due to the Xitter exodus, but there were some hot takes and solid analysis amidst the incessant bleating of the MAGA minions.

Reminder: Wilks/Dunn puppets always knew they wouldn’t win Speaker, they just needed to create the false perception they could.

Their goal was not to actually prevail, but to perpetually create reasons to keep whining — bitching is the only reason they stay employed. #txlege https://t.co/Nt1ZsAcayo
Oh yeah. The Speaker's race. Almost forgot.

I'll continue the ridicule of our Lone Star Fascists -- the Texas GOP, the Cook caucus, the bussed-in 'Ban Democrat Chairs' redshirts from the boondocks -- but a few words need to be said about the Texas Democrats, who despite the prowess awarded them by the afore-mentioned, are not nearly so mighty as anyone should believe.
Which a few Democrats did not vote for

Imagine that: Donks not voting for the lesser of two piles of dogshit.

Naturally/unfortunately/regrettably, the Democrat who ran for Speaker was one of those who voted for the greater evil.
I couldn’t help but notice that this statement says nothing of voting for David Cook while maintaining the title of Chair of the Texas Legislative Progressive Caucus. #txlege https://t.co/yoYH59oNr4

Demonstrating once again that the phrase "progressive Democrat" has been rendered worthless. Back to the MAGA-on-"RINO" violence.
Cook supporters very angry outside. They’ve already started calling for censures, which under new rules would bar censured lawmakers from appearing in Texas GOP primaries. #txlege pic.twitter.com/3zfXIAxqNk
