    There is a procedure to abort a Texas governor

    who shows no sign of brain activity.

    It’s called voting.

    Texas may neuter cities' powers to create rules around business hiring, benefits

    who gets to set rules around hiring and employee benefits at private companies.

    Senate Bill 14 would

    stop municipalities and counties from adopting rules around terms of employment "that exceed or conflict with federal or state law."

    Those terms include
    employment leave,
    hiring practices,
    employment benefits and
    scheduling practices.

    That would bar things such as

    mandatory paid sick leave in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio, and

    could impact other local ordinances that have been in effect for years.

    Proponents call the move necessary to avoid a patchwork of regulations that change from one city to the next.

    GOP-led Texas Legislature wants to deny state work to firms that spurn gun industry

    Major banks and tech firms could be barred from future contracts in Texas, under a

    Republican-led effort to punch back at companies that cut ties with the firearms industry.


    A bill nearing Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk would stop the state from inking contracts with businesses that refuse to work with gun sellers, manufacturers or trade associations, such as the National Rifle Association.

    Local governments would face the same limitations, which apply to deals worth $100,000 or more.

    The legislation was filed after several companies began restricting business with the gun industry following deadly mass shootings in recent years.

    critics warn the move is an uncons utional limit on free speech that will almost surely draw court challenges.

    “We don’t need a thought police,”

    this year’s efforts are more expansive and could carry significant financial impact.

    another nearing Abbott’s desk would

    bar the state from contracting with firms that “boycott” fossil fuels.

    The bill also calls for pension funds, such as the state employees and teacher retirement systems, to divest from companies that cut ties with oil and gas.

    Texas Republicans Are Trying to Protect Trucking Companies from Lawsuits

    The initiative is part of a larger, decades-long push for tort reform in the state.

    The bill’s language would essentially

    shift liability from the company to drivers

    who may not have the financial means to fully compensate plaintiffs.

    It may also prevent certain information about a company’s past accident history
    from being introduced as evidence.

    So if jurors wanted to know whether a company required drivers to undergo safety training;

    do routine maintenance on its trucks;

    or if the company’s drivers have a habit of getting into wrecks,

    it could be inadmissable.

    The trucking industry says it needs more protection from lawsuits because of skyrocketing insurance premiums.

    https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-...-from-lawsuits

    Looks like the drivers have been outbid in bribing the TX bag legislators. Who Bribes, Wins.

    Guns, police and the national anthem: Dan Patrick priorities sail through Texas House

    legislation supporting the national anthem and barring hotels from prohibiting guns in guests’ rooms.

    high-profile, red meat bills

    “We’re in the last week of the session and the Legislature is taking up unnecessary and divisive bills,”

    the House took up legislation filed in response to calls to “defund the police.”

    Senate Bill 23 would require the state’s largest counties to hold an election if they wish to cut funding to a local law enforcement agency.

    Counties would be prohibited from spending their own money to educate voters ahead of the election, and any that fail to hold one at all could lose their ability to raise taxes.


    The legislation applies

    only to areas with populations of 1 million or more, namely Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar and Travis counties, most of which are led by Democrats. the intra-state Civil War, red state vs blue cities

    “The problem in my community is not the defund issue. The problem is policing,”

    Patrick’s “Star-Spangled Banner” legislation, which was filed after the Dallas Mavericks went 13 games without the national anthem earlier this season.

    It would require professional sports teams that receive public funding to pledge that the song will be played.

    Thank your poll workers.

    They are under su ion.


    our legislators appear ready to pass a bill based on the belief that our election officials are devious crooks determined to undermine our democracy by assisting in voting fraud.

    Senate Bill 7, outlaws the ways in which some counties made voting easier during the pandemic,

    especially in Houston’s Harris County, where drive-thru voting and a few nights of 24-hour voting were very popular.

    The new restrictions come despite no evidence that these practices led to voter fraud.

    errors by election workers could result in personal fines or even criminal charges.

    In addition, election workers could face criminal charges if they obstructed the view of partisan poll watchers.

    These poll watchers, appointed by candidates and usually given no training, would be

    free to roam the voting site and

    would be allowed to video interactions between poll workers providing assistance to people with language limitations or disabilities.

    Ordinary citizens and even election officials are prohibited from recording video in a polling place and

    would not be allowed to visually do ent poll watchers who were being obnoxious or even intimidating voters – behavior that has happened in the past.

    The legislation provides no sanctions for misbehaving poll watchers,

    apparently assuming partisan poll watchers are above su ion,

    but not poll workers with a history of honest service.


    the legislation provides a formula that

    restricts local authorities in counties with a population greater than 1 million – which tend to vote Democrat –

    in the placement of polling places.

    all 13 of the Harris County legislative districts that would lose polling places under the bill have elected Democratic legislators,

    whereas nine of the 11 districts that would gain polling places are represented by Republicans,

    Patrick has red meat he wants back on the grill

    Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick asks Gov. Greg Abbott for special session after GOP bills fizzle in Texas House

    At midnight on Tuesday, that bill, as well as two others backed by Republicans, died in the Texas House,

    Senate Bill 29 would have banned trans girls from participating in girls’ sports teams.

    Patrick tweeted that he’s calling upon Abbott to call a special session in order to pass SB 29, as well as SB 10 and SB 12.

    #SB10 to end taxpayer funded lobbying and

    #SB12 to stop social media censorship.

    https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2032210

    SB10 sounds reasonable, how can Patrick possibly be pushing it?

    Jim Crow / Jaime Cuervo in slave state Confederate Texas

    Experts slam 'horrible' final voting bill in Texas for 'new, egregious suppression measures'


    The bill would need to be re-approved by the state House and Senate by Sunday evening,

    when the legislative session concludes,

    putting pressure on Republicans to move the bill forward with little time for the public to review the final text.


    Legal experts immediately slammed the bill as a full-frontal assault on voting rights.




    Lots of other details in the that twitter thread

    It's awful and was produced in secret.

    Can probably quasi-filibuster it though. At least force a special session.

    Teslas made in Texas will likely have to leave the state before Texans can buy them

    Due to a Texas law that might not change until 2023

    Because of state laws banning car companies from selling directly to consumers, Tesla could end up shipping the cars from its Austin factory to other states, before they’re sent back to their Texan buyers.

    Laws preventing automakers from selling their vehicles directly to consumers aren’t unique to Texas,

    nor are they targeted at Tesla:

    they were
    originally put in place in many states to keep manufacturers from undercutting their franchised dealers,

    and putting them out of business.

    Tesla doesn’t have franchised dealers to protect,

    but that doesn’t matter to Texas law as it’s currently written.

    Greg Abbott Tries to Lure Back Democratic Lawmakers by Offering NPR Tote Bags

    AUSTIN —In a video message posted on Sunday, the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, attempted to lure Democratic lawmakers back to work by offering them free NPR tote bags.

    Displaying one of the canvas bags on offer, Abbott said that it was

    “perfect for carrying around all your liberal needs.”

    “Let’s say you want to bring a copy of Mic e Obama’s ‘Becoming’ to work,

    or perhaps some amazing book by Rachel Maddow,” he said.

    “With this limited-edition tote, you’ll be the envy of all your lib friends.”


    Abbott told lawmakers that the tote bag, which comes with a “Fresh Air” mug, could be theirs, free of charge,

    but only if they return to work on Monday.


    “Come and get it, snowflakes,” he said.
