If I'm the city of Austin I might start saying, "great, we'll just defund our PD if Greg keeps sending us state troopers to patrol our streets"
Good of him to admit his operation lonestar is a complete failure....
Aww what a cute photo. It does give those officers something to show their kids some day in the middle of a power outage.
Abbott deploys DPS troops to his neighborhood everytime he sees a Mexican.
This is where they were hiding during Uvalde.
whistleblowers will be bad again
Recalling the accident that as a young man crushed his spine, Abbott said, “Candidly I’ve wondered the same thing why it is that God would allow tree to crash down on a young man and break his body in half.”
“I think we will never know until we get to heaven why God allows things like that to happen,” Abbott said. But, the governor said, “Wherever and whenever we do see tragedies like this occur we see God’s people reaching out to God, searching for connection to God in deep and thoughtful and urgent prayer and more importantly, we see God reaching back, grasping the hands of his people.”

Unless they're from Mexico, then God slap their hands away, dunks them in the water and/or drives them to New York
how many hick Texas yokels will try to home school and keep the vouchers?
in Arizona, 75% of the voucher money went to households without a kid in public school.
vouchers are by and large a subsidy for rich folks.
Making elections somewhat less secure so they can complain about election insecurity.
Republicans love to wreck government then campaign on government not working.
Absolutely. Even though parents would love to send kids to a better school district/private school you have to have the means to get them there and pick them up.
very unlucky
obviously
For the fascist the state is paramount. any means are justified to preserve the state.
https://jezebel.com/almost-2-million...tho-1850703945An estimated 1.78 million women of reproductive age live in a U.S. county with no access to abortion or maternity care, according to a chilling analysis from ABC News and Boston Children’s Hospital. If the criteria are broadened to include counties with “low access” to maternity care, the number shoots up to 3.7 million women.
The women and pregnant people trapped in these areas may have no choice but to continue a pregnancy they didn’t want, or one that threatens their health, while being unable to get adequate prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care. It’s the horrifying collision of the twin crises of state abortion bans and women dying from pregnancy, and experts worry that the U.S. maternal mortality will continue to rise. Black women in the U.S. are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes.
The team identified the so-called “double deserts” by comparing new data from the March of Dimes on maternity care deserts with a study on counties where abortion is more than an hour drive away after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. “What we’re looking at is that the reality is one of forced parenthood for many people without access to abortion. But then you don’t have the support services you need to be able to see someone through a pregnancy and delivery,” said Julia Strasser, assistant research professor of health policy and management at George Washington University.
Texas, Mississippi, and Kentucky are the states with the largest numbers of reproductive age women living in double deserts. Here’s a map from the analysis, flagged by writer Jessica Valenti:

The move has attracted national attention. Joe Biden criticized the bill – which critics have called the “Death Star” – at a White House event with the mayor of San Antonio. “The idea that you can’t have mandatory water breaks when you’re working on a construction? I mean, what are we doing here?” Taking water breaks is already a fraught practice in much of Texas. “We’ve heard from workers that taking rest breaks is very stigmatized in the construction industry, because that signifies potential delays to get projects completed,” said Christine Bolaños of Workers Defense Project...
Child dies while en route to Chicago as part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s migrant busing program
After a 3-year-old began showing signs of distress, the bus of asylum-seekers traveling from Brownsville to Chicago pulled over and an ambulance was called. The child later died at a hospital in Illinois.
A child traveling to Chicago as part of the state’s migrant busing program died, according to a Friday afternoon statement from the Texas Division of Emergency Management.
The Chicago Tribune reported that the 3-year-old child died on Thursday when the bus was entering Chicago. The Illinois Department of Public Health confirmed to the newspaper that the state agency is investigating the death.
TDEM said that after the child’s health began deteriorating, the bus pulled over and an ambulance was called. The child was taken to a local hospital, where they died.
TDEM’s statement did not include information about the child’s age, gender or nationality. The agency said that all of the passengers in the bus were processed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the City of Brownsville, which included a temperature check and medical screening. No passengers had showed signs of fever or medical concerns, the agency said.
According to state officials, passengers were released by the federal government and willingly chose to go to Chicago after signing a consent waiver.
“Each bus is stocked with food and water, which are distributed on board, and makes stops along the trip to refuel and switch drivers. Migrants are allowed to purchase any additional provisions or disembark at any of these stops,” the TDEM statement read.
Since April 2022, Gov. Greg Abbott has been busing migrants to Democratic-led cities across the country, which he has said is intended to provide relief to Texas border communities. Abbott’s critics have said he is using migrants as pawns to win political points. Recently, Abbott announced that over 4,600 migrants have been bused to Chicago in the past year.
The governor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment as of Friday evening.

Maybe stay in your home country and don't be a criminal trying to usurp our laws and put your children in danger.
I was at first outraged over Abbott doing Biden's plan for him but now that it has been such a drain on big lib regressive 15 minute cities/states I'm here for it. Send more Abbott! Send so much more that those cities/states burn to the ground!
Celebrating dead children now? Is death really the penalty for not "staying in your home country"?Maybe stay in your home country and don't be a criminal trying to usurp our laws and put your children in danger.
