    Pretty savvy from Abbott. Patrick is pretty much done politically and I’ve already seen no politics normies praising Abbott for this. He’s running.

    He has no shot but he thinks he does.

    And he is up for reelection again next year. Taking peoples weed away would be a huge liability there.

    You're gonna have to beat this guy if you put your name in the hat.

    Gov. Greg Abbott vetoes funding for federal summer lunch program for low-income children
    Gov. Greg Abbott has vetoed a $60 million budget measure that would have allowed Texas to enter a federal summer lunch program for low-income children. The Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer, or Summer EBT program would have given qualifying families $120 per child to pay for lunches during the summer months in 2027. An estimated 3.75 million children statewide would have qualified. The provision to join the program … [more]

    Just like everything (constitution, bible, laws, norms etc.) conservatives get to pick and choose what should and shouldn’t be adhered to. It’s a pretty neat feature they have.

    Texas News
    North Texas Republican Party chair posts online poll asking whether 'Jews' or 'Muslims' are bigger threat
    The survey comes amid heightened threats against Jews and Muslims in the United States.

    Bo French, pictured above, has led the Tarrant County GOP since 2023.
    Controversial Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French is under fire again, this time for tweeting out a poll asking whether “Jews” or “Muslims” pose a bigger threat to the United States.

    French, who's come under previous scrutiny for offensive online remarks, shared the poll as tensions between Israel and Iran remain high and as both Jews and Muslims in the U.S. report rising incidents of bias against them. As of press time, the poll had racked up nearly 900 votes and more than 16,000 views.
    Who is a bigger threat to America?

    — Bo French (@BoFrenchTX) June 25, 2025Many who responded to French’s survey called out its bigotry.

    “As a Jew who has spent his entire adult life in Texas, GOP politics, and conservative activism, I’ve been blessed to know so many faithful walkers on the path of Jesus who would be nauseated by this bigotry,” X user @WacoYid commented. “I hope someone like them can lead you to repent.
    User @evan7257 tweeted that they recalled a time “when explicit antisemitism like this was frowned upon in Texas politics.”
    “Where is the option for evangelicals,” user @RolandB3 tweeted. “Was it left off by mistake?”
    French didn't immediately respond to the Current’s request for comment on the poll. However, in a follow-up post, French clarified that he doesn’t think Jews are as big a threat as “radical Islam.”

    “You may not like Jews, but to suggest they are a bigger threat to Americans is Jew Derangement Syndrome,” French wrote.
    It’s not the first time the chairman of the Republican Party for the nation’s largest red county has landed in hot water for posting offensive comments. In 2024, French grabbed headlines for repeatedly using the words “gay” and “retarded” as slurs in social media posts, promoting condemnation from several high-profile Tarrant County GOP officials.

    French's poll comes amid a flood antisemitic rhetoric, which percolated up during the first Trump administration and escalated during the Israel-Gaza conflict. Indeed, 70% of Jewish adults reported experiencing antisemitism online or on social media in the past 12 months, according to a recent study from the American Jewish Committee.

    The survey also comes less than a week after threats of a mass shooting were directed at San Antonio's Jewish Community Center, forcing it to temporarily close.

    At the same time, advocacy group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported that discrimination and attacks against Muslims and Arabs in the U.S. hit a new record in 2024 as the Israel-Gaza conflict escalated.

    CAIR recorded 8,658 complaints about anti-Muslim and anti-Arab incidents last year, a 7.4% year-over-year rise year. Last year's total was the highest number since 1996, when it first began compiling data.

    Nah don’t give him the benefit of the doubt that he might’ve been drunk. He’s just an enormous piece of shit without a job who spends all day every day posting vile shit. He gets off on this. Dems shouldn’t call for him to resign we should want horrible people like this being the voice of the Republican Party.

    He got $300k from the lawsuit reform dudes last cycle. He held fundraisers last week in Houston and San Antonio and I’m pretty sure trial lawyers have given him significantly more than that already
