Gov. Greg Abbott announced Thursday that the second special legislative session will begin at noon Saturday — and with an expanded agenda.
The 17-item agenda still includes well-known Abbott priorities like the election bill that caused House Democrats to flee the state at the start of the first special session, which ends Friday. But it also features six additions, including the spending of federal COVID-19 relief funds and potentially changing the legislative rules regarding quorums.
There is also a new item on public education during the pandemic, an increasingly salient issue as parents prepare to send their kids back to school with the virus on the rise again in Texas.
None of the proposals, however, can reach Abbott’s desk unless the Democrats return from Washington, D.C., and they have not revealed their plan for after Friday. Abbott has vowed to call special session after special session until they come back and complete his agenda, which he reiterated in a statement Thursday. more
Bulletin : Stop The Presses – “WATER IS WET!!!!!”
Deputized all conservatives, Gov.😏
How about adding medical freedom.
Imagine living in a country so fucked that you’re fight for freedom is defined by not being forced to wear a fucking mask all day over a fucking virus with a 99.96% survival rate.
Gosh, thank you Mr. Politician man for letting me leave my own home for a fucking walk in the open air without have to wear a mask nor get a permission slip. Isn’t freedom just fucking awesome!!!
FFS… What a shithole this country is becoming.
Runaway Dems will not come back for the Special Session so nothing will be done. Again.
