I vaguely remember some rumblings about Talarico. I think he’s going to be a huge presence in years to come. Loved this exchange he had, shows he does his homework, didn’t seem like he was talking at,

And this is the best we’ll get out of the brainwashed republicans. Just get them to not vote. They’ll never vote for a Democrat because, well, they don’t even really know why, but they won’t. Just do

Lt. Dan and Dade got some kind of feud going on but its really funny that Lt. Dan has no idea that every time he posts this shirtless pic of Dade he just looks more and more homoerotic...NTTAWWT

I went to high school with Dade’s sister and female cousins. Kathryn, Phoebe, Mollie, even Keely. And the other cousin Kim who was smoking hot but turned out batshit crazy. Blue eyes, blonde hair, all of them. They're just attractive people.

My wife works with Dade’s wife and I suggested he and I could do a remake of this but got shot down.

Quote

The Senate bill, proposed by Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury, would jail a person for a year or two years if the person tried to enter the country a second time. The proposal would also punish the person to life in prison if they had been previously convicted of a felony.

Might have to build some new private prisons if you can try and jail a bunch of those folks....would make somebody a lot of money.

From the reactions I'd say it's dead

 

Boy I love the cognitive dissonance here. It was a priority for the speaker, but the speaker killed his own priority because he’s a RINO. Fucking smooth brained motherfuckers there. 
 

it’s only a matter of time before we have citizens just picking off migrants who cross the border, legally. Give me bored cartel members sniping back at the gravy seals who only get hard at the idea of murdering people.

May have spoken too soon, some dingus put a big chunk of HB20 like the whole border protection unit into an amendment on another bill:

 

 

Texas politics is insanely weird. I’ll be glad when the session ends so I don’t have to hear from these loons for another 2 years.

Guillen was a Dem until he flipped over to Republican. He was also the chair of the committee that wasn't going to vote on raising the age... until changed mind the last minute and it passed.

There might be 12 Republican votes but it's not going to happen. 

 

Republicans are SOFT on mass shootings.

Wow...couldn't stop cringing/laughing at this one.

 

 

I've always wondered how women can see the GOP platform and agree with it.  But this makes it easier to understand.  This woman is a generational buffoon.

I have a friend who is a chief of staff for a State Representative and can tell he is getting slightly annoyed with me because I'm actually paying some attention to how the sausage is made in Austin this session and pointing out how obscene/ridiculous some of this crap is. Keeps telling me "oh you are just seeing what the House live stream is showing and a few political bloggers on twitter are saying/ they are just playing this up for political points with their base blah blah blah" And I usually reply that it looks bad enough from what my untrained eye can see, how bad must it really be behind closed doors in the halls of the capitol...you know where they were having meetings and hatching plans to keep Bryan Slaton in the legislature...

With all of the challenges this state is facing, this is the shit the GQP chooses to waste time on in state where the legislature meets for only 140 days once every other year. It's all performance politics and does nothing to advance our state and what the majority of voters care about. It's a clown show that should embarrass anyone who calls themselves a Texan.

Well in good news, I bet you 80% of adults in Texas have no idea the legislature is even in session right now.

Would love to see school vouchers choked out in the house every 2 years until the end of time.

You'll probably get your wish, at least until Danny boy dies off

Man looking through the bios of house members, it's amazing how many are A&M grads. It's also amazing how few are Texas grads. Seems like it's A&M and a whole smattering of smaller Texas schools, and the UT.

This is a recent development, in the last 10-15 years. Shockingly UT graduates in Texas want nothing to do with politics, by and large. And another segment of the population seems better...seasoned to appeal to much of the Texas population.

So, again, the dems are playing this too diplomatically.  Hefner is actually pretty adept at answering without answering and not looking completely ridiculous (like the woman trying to prevent cities from enforcing gun laws).  The Dems need to go harder at him.  He is winning these exchanges, and probably chucking to himself as he turns back around to his colleagues.  Some depo/x-exam specialist needs to start writing the questions for the Dem side of the lege because they are failing right now.

Probably because most Texas grads know better than to stay in this ducking shithole of a state.

No real confirmation, so take with a grain of salt, but wouldn't be surprised at all

 

It would be on KEYE, KVUE, KXAN, the Statesman's, Texas Tribune, Austin Monthly, Texas Monthly, etc.

the only place I can find mention is fucking reddit and a Statesman reporter is trying to verify it.  Then again, she maybe chasing a false lead, because people posted after her saying that the doctors were still there.  

People saying the doctors are still there said a few did resign out of protest, but Seton bungled something about it.

Also, she posted this stuff hours ago, but you'd think something this big that she'd have actual proof by now and the Statesman would have a front-page story, since it'd be one of the biggest stories of the year in Austin.

She's claiming they closed the clininc

A lady on Amber Briggle's Facebook page (she is the preeminent citizen working against this stuff imo, on behalf of her trans son) said "absolutely 100% true. That’s where we went. We found out Monday. We loved our doctor at Dells. She was a precious soul. We are heart-broken."

obviously not a news source, but anyway  I'm not totally convinced that this would be a huge immediate story, unfortunately.
