There’s something more going on with this LULAC story…They endorse Harris, first time they get involved in partisan politics in 75 years and then…Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton raids Latino Democrats' homes, including those of LULAC members - CBS News https://t.co/h6uavqZo63

Regarding the news that Texas removed "over 6500" noncitizens from voter rolls: "When Texas tried this approach in 2019...it had 98,000 individuals originally identified as non-U.S. citizens...only 80 were actually determined to be ineligible to vote"https://t.co/31umN3674e

I joined @sarasidnerCNN this morning to speak out against @KenPaxtonTX terrorizing abuelitas in Texas.This was a targeted operation against Latino voters. We won’t stand for it. We aren’t going back.

They have asked for the DOJ to investigate Paxton's efforts for violating the VRA.

Garland right now.

Hopefully this riles up the abuelitas and tias to vote blue in Texas. 

Texas AG Ken Paxton says he is investigating alleged election fraud and efforts to register non-citizens to vote.The largest Latin-American civil rights organization wants a federal investigation, claiming Paxton's office authorized illegal searches at its volunteers' homes.

Through knowing someone involved in the Paxton whistle blowers case, I know some not public details about Paxton. He's an absolute piece of shit. Everyone in the lege knows what a piece of shit he is. That a majority of Republican state reps voted in his favor tells you what a fucking cesspool the state Republican leadership has become. 

Fuck this state.

Are all accounts eligible to be paid to not draw power?  Or at least all that draw a certain amount of power per unit time?

 

also, a 400% nuisance fee seems a touch high. If anything, it should only cover lost “revenue”

Wouldn't the Texas SOS, who has been a Republican for like, 20 years, be responsible for ensuring non-citizens' registrations wouldn't go through?

Just because you send in a registration form doesn't automatically make you registered.  Someone has to process it in the SOS' office and I assume, ensure the registration data on the form meets the requirements (age, citizenship, residency, etc.)

The fact that a “purge” had to take place is basically SOS office admitting “hey look at us we’ve been doing a shitty job at managing this for quite some time…”

I just got notice that Centerpoint is increasing the electricity delivery charge by 1 1/3 cents per kWh.  I guess they spent so much time not delivering power that they had to increase their rate to give their shareholders the same return.

Did they vote for him because they support him, or because they knew that he and Abbott would carry through on threats to come after them, and that Patrick was taking millions from a pro-Abbott PAC?

The state’s most populous county, a Democratic stronghold, operates under tight state scrutiny of its elections. https://t.co/TrWGZsRP2d

As someone who may or may not have been working on the initial steps of this outreach plan for the county, this will be me at work for the foreseeable future:

Oh, keep reading on this issue.  Apparently, several of the selected projects are adjacent or very close to.....Bitcoin mining operations.

The system in Texas is designed to accomplish one thing, and one thing only (hint: that thing is NOT "generate and deliver power to the people"): extract dollars from the pockets of the people, and put said dollars in the accounts of enterprises that contribute millions to Texas politicians.  That's it.  That's the whole thing.

The pols don't care where the profits end up.  All they care about is that a large chunk of them end up in their own pockets/campaign accounts.

Understand that for all of their "America first!" and "China bad!" rhetoric, they would sell the entire country to Xi personally if he cut them a big enough check.  THE. GQP.  DOESN'T. CARE. ABOUT. YOU. THEY ONLY. CARE. ABOUT. THEMSELVES.  Why thick-headed Texans can't see that plain and obvious truth will never not baffle the shit out of me.

I need everyone in this country to understand that Texas' attorney general is threatening and suing blue counties that are trying to increase voter registration.It's absolutely insane to me that this is just how we do things in Texas.

I look forward to working with Speaker @DadePhelan, his team and all House members to strengthen the institution and build on its proud legacy of leadership, innovation and conservative results. Together, we will keep Texas on the path of success for future generations. https://t.co/la53NREHki
