Carney is also reported to have said on at least one conference call that “we’ve crossed the Rubicon for gubernatorial decorum”
The
veteran chief political strategist for Gov. Greg Abbott, Dave Carney,
has in recent weeks felt much more liberated to talk candidly with insiders
about the way his top client brazenly went after Texas House
Republicans in their primaries leading up to Super Tuesday.
That’s
according to multiple sources who recalled that Carney has said on at least one
conference call with some donors that Abbott’s border-themed attacks on anti-school
voucher Republicans were based on untrue “bullshit.”

The TMB’s proposal wouldn’t get the job done and would actually make the legal situation in Texas “more dangerous” for women
After
the Texas Medical Board released proposed rules in March that critics said
did not give any greater clarity to doctors about medical exceptions for legal
abortions, a pair of Texas Capitol veterans are pushing the board
to start over.
“Unfortunately,
the proposed rules fall way short of our hopes to obtain guidance from the
Board so physicians can implement the ‘life of the mother’ exceptions without
fear of punishment,” said attorneys Steve and Amy Bresnen, who are of
course also longtime lobbyists.
The
Bresnens also sent the TMB a set of extensive
comments on the proposed rules, which they argued don’t get the job done and will
make the legal situation in Texas “more dangerous” for women.
They
pointed out that the proposal from the Medical Board:

Via
reporter Ben Wermund at the
Hearst DC Bureau:
The
peculiar payment scheme behind U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz's popular podcast has raised
ethical questions and drawn complaints about election law violations. Now tax
experts say the deal involving a massive radio network that picked up the
“Verdict with Ted Cruz” podcast in 2022 and a super PAC supporting the Texas
Republican’s reelection effort could also raise red flags for the IRS.
While
Cruz says he makes no money off the hosting gig, iHeartMedia has sent more than
$630,000 in ad revenue from the podcast to the Truth and Courage PAC, which
produces the show and says it owns it. The exact terms of the arrangement are
unclear, and no parties involved have been willing to disclose them.
But
tax experts say Cruz may still need to report income on his tax forms, even if
he isn't pocketing any cash. That's because the law requires income to be taxed
to the person who does the work. In this case, they say, that would be Cruz
serving as the host of his podcast.
