As Senator Vern Buchanan ran a survey last night/today about sending resources (people/$) to the land of #Abbott - survey running like 50/50.... As some suggest that the #cultists resettle in Texas. (I'd add: Then maybe TX could succeed at seceding, and... win-win)
Other happenings in #DeathSantis ville.... See above. Clay Jones has captured the picture, once again
... A U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press, said Cuellar's description of the events was accurate. In a statement Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Texas officials obstructed Border Patrol's attempts to rescue the migrants on Friday.
"Tragically, a woman and two children drowned last night in the Shelby Park area of Eagle Pass, which was commandeered by the State of Texas earlier this week," the department said. "In responding to a distress call from the Mexican government, Border Patrol agents were physically barred by Texas officials from entering the area." ...
... Federal officials and a Texas congressman said National Guard soldiers deployed by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did not allow Border Patrol agents to attempt to rescue the migrants. Earlier this week, Texas National Guard soldiers abruptly seized control of a public park in Eagle Pass that Border Patrol had been using to hold migrants, marking the latest escalation in an intensifying political and legal feud between Abbott and President Biden over U.S. border policy. ...

MEXICO CITY, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Tuesday said his government was preparing to challenge a new Texas law allowing state law enforcement to arrest suspected migrants, which he called "inhumane."
On Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed the law giving local officers powers long delegated to the U.S. government.
Migrants who enter the United States illegally can already be charged with illegal entry or re-entry under federal laws, but the governor of the border state has criticized what he calls U.S. President Joe Biden's failure to enforce them.
Abbott has launched a crackdown on illegal immigration in recent years under the name Operation Lone Star, rolling out the National Guard and concertina wire along the border and installing a floating barrier in a stretch of the Rio Grande.
Mexico's president, a leftist, often criticizes Republican Abbott as well as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, also a Republican, in his morning press conferences. He has urged Mexican-Americans to not vote for either.
"The foreign ministry is already working on the process to challenge this law," Lopez Obrador said.
Abbott "wants to win popularity with these measures, but he's not going to win anything, but he'll lose favor, because in Texas there are so many Mexicans and migrants," the president added.
Mexico's foreign ministry and Abbott's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

A double-header victory in #Texas for the #Abbott variant of #TrumpVirus....
First, the overwhelmingly corrupt and vile A.G. #Paxton was 'exonerated' despite his initially being accused by his own #GQP....
And then, back to basics: banning #truth (in #books or #thinking, now called 'being #woke'). Bye bye Seuss. Bye bye dictionaries.
I guess it's back to the races, between Abbott and #DeathSantis, for most inhumane, vindictive, racist, misogynist, authoritarian....
Hm, a day without nonstop #TrumpVirus coverage.
Good #news, too, like UNION workers now working hard to re-open the I-95 transportation artery within 2 weeks!
Biden visited the I95 road collapse site and roundly praised the hard working union members working around the clock. (with pay)
Meanwhile, some states move to allow children into dangerous and long-illegal work situations, and Abbott....
OMG, whenever one needs proof of how low, how mean, and how fascist a governor &/or cult/'party can get.... just go to the #Abbott / #DeathSantis competition for for most vile and fascism-inclined governor wannabe-me-more...

Anyone learning anything yet, big picture? And what's wrong with this one picture in TX? So sad. So needless.

Above pic of current Texas Governor candidate Beto O'Rourke disrupting Gov. Abbott after blaming the event on mental health issues. After Abbott cut mental health funding this year and last year lowered the age to buy a gun from 21 to 18….cause you know guns are less harmful than alcohol.
And Beto was ejected and called "sick" for speaking a bit of #truth, and laying blame on the corrupt and deeply twisted governor.

My Sunday Feeling *
Reviewing the week's (US) news summary - following a bad week too for things like global environment - this article hits some key points (with links following the top story leading to the other main events).
Of note, it seems more clearly that Texas slime Ted Cruz is not only bizarre (suggested here as verging on insane), but has been flirting with the idea of Texas seceding back to the good old days pre-Civil war. (Hope he'll take Florida with him. Seal off the world from the super-spread of the #DeathSantis & #Abbott #TrumpVirus variants. As Cruz attacks a Sesame Street character (Big Bird) for being "woke" and spreading "propaganda" (encouraging vaccination).
And as 2 Republicans own Cruz for his "alternate reality", Dark Lord StableGenius sobs tears over how badly Seditionist #1 Steve Bannon (still free, too) has been treated, despite Trump having already pardoned him for his fraud in conning MAGA cult believers into sending him & DJT money "for a wall" (i.e., the linings of their pockets). Meanwhile, nobody has been jailed for contempt of Congress, the traitors are still free (some sitting in Congress), and the world of GOP/Q has already seceded - from reality. Other than that, nice calm holiday times...

New from the #TexasTaliban -
In case male ownership of women, forced infection of children, restricting schools from notifying parents of infections, etc., was not enough....
Restricting voting. ✓ Disenfranchising local governance. ✓ And this too!
