It actually makes less sense the longer you think about it.  The people moving to Texas because of the Mamdani election are likely political allies of Abbott, yet he's telling them that they are not welcome.  He's not even fake punishing the right people!

As a political enemy of Abbott, would he consider paying me to leave? I’m open to negotiations.

    I think that it’s now safe to say that we Texans now live in a failed state.  30 years of GOP rule, setting our own standard, living the “Texas Dream,” which they’ve bragged about relentlessly…and let

    My daughters and I talk about this. I’ve always been puzzled about where the idea of on-campus indoctrination comes from. I don’t think humanities and liberal arts faculty are any more or less toleran

It's happening all over but they'll stay united against "evil libs" no matter what. 

The CFISD board flip was assisted by the vice president choosing to run against the president for his seat instead of running for her own seat. Why? Because he wasn't hard right enough. 

The guy who was fired from his job for being racist at a school board meeting wasn't hard right enough for them. 

In that election she got 34%, he got 21%, sane guy who won got 45%.

“Texas college campuses should be places of open debate, not indoctrination,” Paxton said in a statement Friday.

Just throwing taxpayer dollars down the drain in the name of authoritarianism 

Quote

The group said Paxton’s claims ignore the fact that Jolt’s volunteer registrars “are legally required to accept all completed forms, while the state itself holds the sole power to verify eligibility.” 

 

“This action is part of the AG's larger efforts to bully civic engagement organizations,” attorney Mimi Marziani said. “Jolt is simply the latest target of his unlawful campaign to undermine and silence civil rights groups in Texas. The AG's claims, alleging Jolt Volunteer Deputy Registrars engage in unlawful behavior, are based on allegations that have already been disproved by the plain language of election law and every ounce of available evidence.”

On the one side are dwindling water resources, a strained and unreliable grid, and the well-being of Texans.  On the other side is tremendous profit and self-dealing by Abbott and his cronies.

So, I'm sure you understand that they really had no choice in the matter, the choice was obvious.

Texas fought to ‘protect medical freedom.’ Turns out whooping cough is exercising its freedom too.

Texas is currently seeing four times the number of whooping cough cases compared to the same time last year, the state’s health department said in a health alert.

The state has reported more than 3,500 cases this year. This is the second year that Texas has experienced high increases in whooping cough cases.

Nationally, whooping cough cases have been higher in the past two years than levels seen in prior years and pre-pandemic.

 

Quote

In 2024, the United States experienced roughly six times as many cases compared to 2023, CDC data shows. Cases remain elevated this year but appear to have been trending down since a peak seen last winter, the CDC says.

Federal public health data systems have not been updated amid the government shutdown. The latest available CDC numbers from the end of September show the country has had at least 20,939 pertussis cases so far this year. In comparison, 21,391 cases were reported at the same time last year.

 

Spoiler

The higher numbers of cases in recent years come as vaccination rates for whooping cough have steadily dropped, CDC data shows. Roughly 92.1% of kindergarteners were vaccinated against whooping cough in the 24-25 school year, compared to about 95% before the pandemic started.

Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is a very contagious respiratory illness caused by a type of bacteria. People can spread the bacteria from the start of symptoms and for at least 2 weeks after coughing begins. It may begin like a common cold; however, coughing can last for weeks or months. Treatment with antibiotics early on makes the infection less serious.

Data from medical records show Nebraska, Idaho, Oregon and Hawaii are the states with the highest rates across the country, according to more recent data from Epic Research.

Doctor visits, emergency room visits and hospitalizations remain lower than at the peak seen last winter, the data shows.

What could go wrong?  Man, I’ve gotta get out of this state. 

Well..
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/18/texas-congressional-redistricting-maps

New maps that added five Republican districts in Texas hit a legal roadblock on Tuesday, with a federal judge saying the state cannot use the 2025 maps because they are probably “racially gerrymandered”.

The decision is likely to be appealed, given the push for more Republican-friendly congressional maps nationwide and Donald Trump’s full-court press on his party to make them. Some states have followed suit, and some Democratic states have retaliated, pushing to add more blue seats to counteract Republicans.

 

A panel of three federal judges in Texas said in a decision that the state must use previously approved 2021 maps for next year’s midterms rather than the ones that kickstarted a wave of mid-decade redistricting. The plaintiffs, including the League of United Latin American Citizens, are “likely to prove at trial that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 map”, so the court approved a preliminary injunction to stop the map’s use for next year’s elections.

Texas Republicans, under pressure from the Trump administration, redrew the state’s congressional maps earlier this year to make them more favorable to Republicans. But, Judge Jeffrey Brown wrote, the district changes were not purely partisan.

The public perception of this case is that it’s about politics,” Brown wrote. “To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 map.”

Alito says Texas gerrymander stays...pending or some shit.
