It's interesting, Greg Abbott has been Governor for over 9 years, and he and his Republican cohorts have been yapping about "fixing" voter fraud the whole time.  Why not fixed?

True.  Plus, they've been swamped building the wall.

Texas Republicans have been fixing public education for 30 years.... these things take time.

Think about it.Biden actually allowed into our country illegal immigrants with ties to ISIS.When the next ISIS attack occurs, it's because of Joe Biden's open border policies.We need a President who will stop ISIS, not invite it into our country.

Greg wants to give more money to O&G.

The Governor wants to double down on the Texas Energy Fund.

40 years ago today, an accident changed my life. A tree fell on me, and I was paralyzed from the waist down.Now, I’m proud to serve as Governor of the greatest state in the nation.Our lives aren't defined by our challenges

And rather than doing positive things that would help other people who have had problems in life and ending up with parks and schools named after him, he and his cronies are rushing to make things harder on a lot of people.

Greg didn't learn a single fucking thing from the accident, and that was evident when he helped make it hard for people in his situation to collect the same amount of money he did (which he has never returned).

'No unmet needs'?  He said that?  That's gonna go right up there with "Things could have been worse."  This used to be a cruel asshole, but he spoke in a measured matter.  Every since Huffhines and Covid, the shit that comes out of his mouth...even Dan Patrick is like, "Dude, are you okay?"

It's actually quite difficult to fix something that doesn't exist.  It's kind of a moving target.

Decades later, Abbott campaigned to install tort reform curtailing "frivolous" lawsuits and succeeded. Abbott's critics claimed that he helped usher in a Texas significantly less friendly to plaintiffs seeking damages like the ones Abbott won. Looking back on the case 40 years later, Don Riddle, Abbott's personal injury lawyer at the time, agrees that Texas has changed.

J.D. Vance is hogging up all the snacks.  Didn't you see his last $50,000 fundraising ad backstage?  

I don't like their approach, but wanting non-border states to participate in housing these undocumented folks is at least something I can wrap my head around.  But an aide brings Gov. Abbott a list of ten cities close to Texas that have resources for these folks; which can either house them or detain them, until they can be sent back home in a humane fashion.  

So Gov. Abbott says, "These are all criminals, rapists, and gang members.  I won't send them to Louisiana, Arkansas, or Oklahoma...those are my friends.  These are bad people so let's send them to a highly sensitive U.S. Naval facility which houses some of the most delicate navigation and scientific instrumentation and data in the world.  And oh yeah, the current VP and candidate for POTUS also lives there, so it would be a triple-dangerous situation to just leave all those bad people there, perfect.  

Staffer, "Uhhh?  Da fuh?"

Just the lowest form of humanity.  If there's a hell, I envision Greg with the Sisyphus sentence, but he's rolling that stone up the mountain in a wheelchair, all the while getting pelted by tree limbs.

Democratic Party members should respond by opening up a pop up shop to sell AR15s (from citizen to citizen) with scopes near the governor’ mansion.

How does this order have legal effect unless it's actually passed as a bill into law? What authority does Abbott have to just demand hospitals, especially private ones, do stuff like this? Or does Abbott know it's not actually legal, and just not care, because it makes his base happy?

How exactly is a hospital supposed to determine citizenship?  They ask for ID, but surely ID is not a requirement for treatment.  "Hello, Governor Abbott?  We have a gentleman here named Juan that we're treating for an apparent stroke . . . no, it seems minor . . . anyway, he's probably illegal, so can you put his name in the database?"

What a ghoul. He wants immigrants to suffer by hoping (his desire not mine) that they stay away from seeking healthcare.

I notice that he never asks to quantify the financial benefit that Texans realize from undocumented workers including lower costs and tax revenue.

Trump doesn't like people in wheelchairs to be placed around him and photographed. You know, people don't like to see that.

Fucking dirtbags.

So here's how this looks: Chairman Buckley is holding a school voucher hearing on the first day of school so teachers from around Texas can't testify. He also plans to cut off testimony at 6pm so even nearby Austin ISD teachers can't get up to the Capitol in time #TxLege #txed https://t.co/RQN96PhoKP

Teachers knowing their place is to stay in the classroom, saying nothing outside the classroom and earning below average salaries = Good

Teachers publicly advocating for students and teachers = Bad

He'll never actually go after any companies or even individual Texans who hire illegal immigrants.  Never.

He's had a hard-on for hospital...well, let me rephrase that because he hasn't had one since the 80s (which is a theory I have about why he's so angry at so many people all the time), anyways, he and Dannie Goeb and Kenny Wayne have been after hospitals for a while over the abortion and trans-gender issues.  This could be just another facet.

Or maybe some donor has it in his head that hospitals are treating illegal immigrants for free, or maybe even some hospital BMDs chipped a few bucks his way to scare off illegal immigrants for some reason.

I don't think Greg Abbott has had an original thought in his head for years - everything seems to be driven by donors.
