    True to form.

    Google Plyler v. Doe. 5 liberals on the Supreme Court ruled that Texas had to provide and fund public education for illegal immigrants. The next decade, in Texas v. U. S., Federal courts rejected our lawsuit that the federal government should pay for that education cost.

    Gov. Abbott called a special session in '17 because Lt. Gov. Patrick wanted to dictate where someone could pee.

    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday night he would not call the Legislature into special session in response to the shooting in El Paso that left 22 dead, and instead use other methods.

    We applaud Dallas City Attorney Chris Caso for standing against a lawsuit that seeks to take away paid sick time, which workers are already accruing. As he told , taking away paid sick time would cause "irreparable injury." We agree.

    Not sure where you get your data but 71% of Texas voters support policies requiring paid sick time, including the majority of Republican voters. Just ask and who did the study. (Reporting credit to 👉 )
