Several industry players said they did not think anything nefarious was at play. They just think the math was botched at the agency and hope it can be corrected
It was just
a straightforward math error, but the “devil’s lettuce is in the details.”
That’s a joke
that some in the Texas medical marijuana industry are telling about the way three
Texas-based companies ended up being excluded from the first round of expansion
of the state’s compassionate use program.

We can now report that last year before the redistricting fight started in Austin, at least two Texas GOP members of Congress told QR they took some comfort in the fact that President Trump’s plan would potentially be prevented by a Democratic quorum break
Texas Republicans
are shaking their heads tonight after yet another
state voted to counter the state's redistricting map and “fight fire with fire,”
as top Democrats around the nation had promised.
Voters in
Virginia tonight voted to approve a new map giving the Democrats the
overwhelming majority of the commonwealth's seats in Congress.
After various states have changed their maps following last year's mid-decade
redistricting in Texas, here's how it looks overall according to number
crunchers in both parties:
Democrats
are likely to gain 8 to 10 seats in the US House.
Republicans
are likely to pick up 4 to 8 seats.
So, here’s
the part I’ve been waiting to tell y’all about for a year or so.

The law Abbott signed in ’21 explicitly makes an exception for loss of grant funding – the very punishment the governor’s chosen for HPD to the tune of $110 million. Since the law isn’t ambiguous, the situation is clear: The one “defunding” law enforcement in Houston is the governor in Austin
Editor’s
note: The new proposed language for the Houston police policy on cooperation
with ICE can be downloaded at the end of this article – SB
Let’s get
real.
It’s not
exactly news to anyone at the Texas Capitol that Gov. Greg
Abbott would misrepresent a law he signed or that he would use an
immigration issue to broadside Houston Mayor John Whitmire, who’s gone
out of his way to avoid conflict with the Republican governments in Austin and
Washington.
For his
effort, Whitmire’s been condemned by the Harris County Democratic Party
and now his constituents are being severely punished by Abbott, though there’s
chatter out of city hall that there may be some level of coordination between the
two in an attempt to corral city council ahead of a
possible vote on HPD policy this week.
Regardless,
there’s added urgency to calling BS on Abbott when the lives of Texans are on
the line because of a giant loss in public safety resources in the nation’s
fourth largest city as it prepares to host an international event that, of
course, could be the target of international terrorism while the United States
is at war in the Middle East.

During commissioner's court today, the elections administrator reacted to the DCRP Executive Committee voting to reverse former Chairman West's decision to embrace countywide voting for the runoff: "the die is cast," and it's too late to back out. Developing...

The vote was 93 to 35 to cancel West's decision. The party put Chairman Morgan Meyer's former GOP primary challenger Barry Wernick in charge of keeping this on track. Props to Tony Ortiz at Current Revolt for sitting through the executive committee meeting tonight

Through his attorney, Abbott said the court needs to get to work on this because of recent developments including last week’s Texas House Administration vote on fines for quorum breaking; Wu says no way Jose
With the
case pretty stale and just as silly as it was last year, Gov. Greg Abbott
on Thursday told the Texas Supreme Court that recent developments
– notably last week’s Texas House committee vote to impose fines
on quorum breakers – should prompt justices to take a fresh look at throwing
House Democratic Caucus Chair Gene Wu from office altogether.
Remember
that? Yeah, it’s easy to forget.
