Loving our grid independence from the rest of the US. Glad that's such a high priority for this state.

https://twitter.com/fredcantu/status/1668568193349087232 Like I know this has no chance of happening because it's so loving ridiculous, but I hold just enough cynicism to feel that Biden won't mention it at all or do anything to stop it.

https://twitter.com/PatrickSvitek/status/1668971318409134082quote:A primary between Allred and Gutierrez has the potential to turn negative. A Gutierrez consultant has already been quoted in the media criticizing Allred over his cross-party appeals, suggesting he is running as “Republican-light.” Allred’s campaign has said his focus is on beating Cruz. Oh good the Dallas and Bexar Co. Dem parties are ready to go to war. Again. Also I hope all those stories citing unnamed Democratic sources and lawmakers calling Gutierrez a psychotic self promoter who was just using the Uvalde families as campaign props are not correct. Also, "Republican-lite" is probably a better strategy for the general than "every single thing I say or do entails gun control" quote:The operatives who joined Lose Cruz bring recent experience in high-profile statewide campaigns. Haynes, the effort’s founder, worked for the past two Democratic nominees for attorney general, while Rahman worked for O’Rourke when he ran for governor last year and previously worked for the state Democratic Party. sigh zoux fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Jun 14, 2023 |

the southern Baptist convention just ejected saddleback, Rick Warren's church, for having women in leadership edit lmao, but I had no idea the leopards eating faces church would eat MY face quote:“No one is asking any Southern Baptist to change their theology,” Mr. Warren said. “I am not asking you to agree with our church. I am asking you to act like Southern Baptists who have historically ‘agreed to disagree’ on dozens of doctrines in order to share a common mission.” i say swears online fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Jun 14, 2023 |

yeah besides the two churches ejected for the above reason, there was another that was ejected for not complying with a sex abuse investigation. so they're trying a little I guess

Normally, I'd say that keeping Paxton's trial in Houston is a positive thing. However, at the rate this trial is progressing Houston might be underwater before it actually starts... https://twitter.com/TexasTribune/status/1668995963522777091?s=20

In other news, Abbot is threatening to start vetoing if the House and Senate can't agree on a property tax cut.Texas Tribune posted:“As we get closer and closer to this Sunday, all of these bills that have yet to be signed face the possibility — if not the probability — that they’re going to be vetoed,” Abbott told reporters Wednesday afternoon during a bill-signing ceremony at the Capitol. He later doubled down, saying he “can’t ensure that any bill that has not yet been signed is going to be signed.”

I swear if this bitch takes it out on the Senate by vetoing the paid parental leave for state workers bill. It's worth nearly $12,000 in pay for my family if we have another kid. I hate politics.

"Property tax increases are capped but rents can only increase proportionally" would be a fun voluntary rent control program.

The way I look at it is Patrick has targeted his bill to just homeowners which are the only people he cares about. The house bill is old school Texas corporate politics, but has a benefit of a year over year cap which has the possibility of slowing rent increases whereas the senate bill does not.
