Gutierrez plans to appeal, saying “Governor Abbott’s administration is going to every extreme not only to withhold basic information about the Uvalde massacre, but to paint a narrative that absolves the Texas Department of Public Safety of responsibility”
Sen. Roland Gutierrez,
D-San Antonio, plans to appeal after a state district court judge in Travis
County on Wednesday ruled in the Texas Department of Public Safety
doesn’t have to release records related to what actually
happened in Uvalde on the day of the massacre at Robb Elementary
School.
Gutierrez sued trying to get
to the bottom of the response of 91 DPS officers who were on scene along with law
endorsement from other agencies.

Patrick's statement simply parroted national commentators: “If Democrats will weaponize DOJ, FBI, IRS against a former President, they will think nothing of weaponizing them against the American people. That means you!”
After two days filled with
right wing anger over the FBI raid at the Florida home of former
President Donald Trump, his most outspoken supporter in Texas finally
spoke up.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick,
who has chaired Trump’s campaign in Texas and brags even more than Ag Commissioner
Sid Miller about Trump’s endorsement, tweeted a brief statement that
quickly pivoted to criticism over expansion of the ranks of IRS agents
supported by Democrats.
Here is Patrick’s tweet in
full:
“If Democrats will
weaponize DOJ, FBI, IRS against a former President, they will think nothing of
weaponizing them against the American people. That means you! Biden’s wrecking
of the economy is nothing compared to the pain of 87,000 new IRS auditors in their
new spending bill.”
Right wing enforcement groups
like Texas Scorecard, funded by Tim Dunn and Farris
Wilks, expressed frustration about Patrick's perceived hesitance to defend Mr. Trump. Michael
Quinn Sullivan, the longtime spokesman for Dunn, said “Finally, a comment
from Lt Gov Dan Patrick.”

As the temps rise, many Texans are using less energy because they feel “scared or broke”
The heat punishing Texans
and people in other states is not going away in the years to come. But a
roundtable of experts said today that what can be alleviated is the burden of
the growing high price of energy costs on lower-income families.
