The Comptroller is taking over aggy.  It'll be interesting to see which mouth breather Abbott appoints as the interim to fuck up one of the few state agencies that is largely apolitical.  Putting a MAGA disciple in charge of what is effectively the bank of Texas for a few months can't have any negative effects, right?

Paxton = fraud + abuse + waste
Abbott = waste + abuse

Seriously, we used to have Ann Richards as a governor who was plucked out of a Larry McMurty novel. Now we have these dweebs in charge. Not to mention the brisket defiler and Rafael the Canadian.

"Do you remember when Texas men were MEN?" may be a winning strategy.

An easy response is to document all of the cuts to health and human services, foster care, workers comp, and the ability to exercise your 7th amendment rights and have a fair trial when something terrible happens to you. “When he shows compassion for Texans, i’ll show compassion to him.”

I attended an “In Conversation” event last Friday evening that featured Jasmine Crockett. She talked at length about her bleached blonde comment that went viral and how she chooses her words with forethought. Jasmine said he tries to always to follow the rules even as she pushes boundaries. She had her explanation for her hot wheels comment already prepared before she made it. Since congresspersons can no longer call Trump a felon on the floor, Jasmine says she has had to be inventive. She now routinely asks if Trump’s nominees have “34 felonies.” The event I attended was to give Jasmine’s supporters insight to her as person. I left more impressed with her grit, smarts and the fact that she doesn’t take herself too seriously. 

Wait, what's the background on this? He's a convicted felon; that's a factual statement. When/how did I miss that particular violation of the First Amendment on the floor of the People's House?

I wish I had known this was happening.  I somehow missed it.  But great to hear that this is a strategy.

The House of Representatives has a rule against “engaging in personalities” which is to eliminate referring to another House member, Senator or President in a derogatory manner. The Rs in the House interpret this rule to include the factual mention that the President is a convicted felon.

If you violate this rule, you can be essentially muted for that proceeding and have your words eliminated from the record.

Are you trying to tell me that there's a rule where Republicans are supposed to be punished for speaking negatively about people like Biden, Pelosi, Warren, Schiff, AOC & the squad, etc?  On what fucking planet does this rule exist?

"SHARIA LAW!!!"

Gov. Abbott announces third investigation into East Plano Islamic Center, citing 'potential' fraud
A third investigation into the East Plano Islamic Center is underway, with claims from Gov. Greg Abbott the group could be misleading investors who've purchased land in an upcoming project — though the governor did not provide details as to how.

The Texas State Securities Board is conducting an investigation for "potential failures to comply with applicable state and federal securities requirements," including protections against fraud, Abbott said Thursday.

“The group behind the proposed East Plano Islamic Center compound may be misleading investors,” Abbott said in the press release. “Defrauding Texans will not be tolerated. The Texas State Securities Board is conducting a thorough investigation to ensure Texans are protected from financial harm that is alleged to have been caused by EPIC."

Abbott did not give further details as to what state and federal securities requirements may have been violated and has not responded to repeated requests for comment about EPIC in recent days.

Thursday's announcement comes after two separate investigations launched this week prompted by the governor and Attorney General Ken Paxton against the mosque and its project "EPIC City."

The development would be located in Josephine, a city about 40 miles northeast of Dallas. It includes a new mosque, more than 1,000 single and multi-family homes, a K-12 faith-based school, senior housing, an outreach center, commercial developments, sports facilities, and a community college.

Abbott has repeatedly accused the mosque without evidence of promoting "Sharia law" — referring to a body of religious laws forming part of the Islamic traditions, which itself has been the target of conservative legislators across the country.

KERA News reached out to the East Plano Islamic Center for a comment and will update this story with any response.

Actually, if ANY "financing" is involved with the project, it almost certainly IS following "Sharia law," because traditional interest-based lending is barred by Sharia law.  Instead, Islamic finance mechanisms are used (these are quite common, and are offered by multiple institutions, including some right here in Austin -- again, they are common):

Quote

The most famous rule in Islamic finance is the ban on usury. In economic terms, this means lender and borrowers are forbidden from charging or paying interest or riba. Sharia-compliant banks don’t issue interest-based loans.

The obvious question then becomes: how do Islamic banks make money? Instead of lending money to their clients at a profit, they buy the underlying product—the house, the car, the refrigerator—and then lease it or re-sell it on installment to the client for a fixed price typically higher than the initial market value. The key notion here is risk sharing—the banks make a profit on the transaction as a reward for the risk they took with the customer. Instead of thriving off of interest rates, Islamic banks use their customers’ money to acquire assets such as property or businesses and profit when the loan is successfully repaid.

The problem here is that there is absolutely nothing illegal about such arrangements.  "Sharia law" -- the broad term -- is not illegal.  The sole basis for these assholes to go after the transaction is based on religion.  

But, being that the 1st Amendment only applies to white, Christian males, making statements in support of/agreement with the regime, nothing fucking matters anymore.

Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the Democratic House leader, on Monday accused Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas of deliberately delaying a special election in a solidly Democratic district in Houston in order to cushion the House Republicans’ slim majority.

Mr. Jeffries said in an interview that Mr. Abbott had been “feverishly working to deny representation to the people of Houston” and to help Republicans in the House pass a budget favored by President Trump that is expected to include cuts to Medicaid and other services.

“House Republicans are running scared legislatively and politically, which is why Gov. Greg Abbott is slow-walking the special election to replace Sylvester Turner,” Mr. Jeffries said. “They are rigging the system.”

Republicans hold a slim 218-to-213 majority over Democrats, but two open House seats in Florida are likely to be filled by Republicans after a special election on Tuesday. Mr. Trump also pulled his nomination of Representative Elise Stefanik to the United Nations, fearing that a vacant seat in her New York district could be won by a Democrat.

Two House Democrats, Representatives Sylvester Turner of Texas and Raúl M. Grijalva of Arizona, died in the early months of this Congress.

The Texas governor had until the end of last week to call a special election in time for the vote in Mr. Turner’s 18th Congressional District to be held on May 3, the next regularly scheduled Election Day in the state.

Instead, Mr. Abbott, a Republican, did not act, and has not said when he will call the election to replace Mr. Turner, who died on March 5 after two months in office.

By doing so, Mr. Abbott has helped House Republicans. Democrats in New York, with Mr. Jeffries’s encouragement, had threatened a similar gambit for Ms. Stefanik’s seat before Mr. Trump left her in it. Meanwhile, Arizona’s Democratic governor, Katie Hobbs, has decided to leave a heavily Democratic House seat in Tucson, Ariz., vacant until after a special election in September.

Mr. Abbott is not explicitly required to call a special election by law, though he has usually done so within days or weeks after similar congressional vacancies. He has the power to schedule an emergency special election, or he could wait and call it for the next regularly scheduled election, in November.

Or he could try not to call it at all and hold the seat open until 2026.

At a news conference in Houston on Monday, one of the Democratic candidates for the open seat, Christian Menefee, stood near a poster highlighting how swiftly Mr. Abbott had called for other special elections. He called on the governor to schedule an election for June.

“Governor Abbott has acted on this responsibility before,” said Mr. Menefee, the Harris County attorney. “The 18th Congressional District is not a political toy,” he added, addressing the governor. “Your silence is suppression.”

Mr. Menefee said that if the governor tried not to call a special election at all, he would file suit against him.

The 18th Congressional District includes some of Houston’s oldest Black communities as well as its downtown.

“This moment requires us to place people over politics,” said Amanda Edwards, a former City Council member and another Democratic candidate for Mr. Turner’s seat. “Failure to do so will leave the nearly 800,000 community members unrepresented.”

Some political observers said that while Mr. Abbott could have called the election for May, doing so would have created potential logistical challenges for the county given the relatively tight time frame. And Mr. Abbott had little incentive to rush.

“Not holding the election until November (or perhaps in the summer) will provide concrete legislative benefits to Speaker Johnson and President Trump,” Mark P. Jones, a professor of political science at Rice University, wrote in an email. Those hurt are House Democrats like Mr. Jeffries, he said, and voters in the district who have not supported the governor.

Mr. Jones added that the governor could wait until November and still be on solid legal ground.

A spokesman for Mr. Abbott declined to address the Democrats’ criticisms and to say whether the governor had spoken with House Republicans about the Houston seat.

“An announcement on a special election will be made at a later date,” the spokesman, Andrew Mahaleris, said in a statement.

So fucking true.

I used to be proud to tell people I was from Texas when I traveled.

Now I am embarrassed.

This is actually one of my practice sub-specialities, although I don’t do as much as I once did. Deals incorporating some sort  of Ijarah (similar to a ground lease) structure are fairly common place and offered by all the big players. I realize he’s throwing red meat to the base, but this is such an anti-business attitude, which I thought was all we cared about in Texas.

i'll note that middle ages christians also did the same thing. interest was implied rather than stated. and they didn't have an early payment penalty either - if the borrower paid it off early the lender, in an act of christian forgiveness, would forgo some amount of the numerical sum of the remaining payments.

My bet is Abbott has been promising Musk the world in order for SpaceX to be the first company in the future Texas stock market. This includes looking the other way about any environment concerns and draining South Texas of even more water for his lithium plant in Robstown (Corpus.)  This last topic is one that is woefully ignored by the general media.

I would imagine that the emails are very direct in Abbott selling Texas out. And I'm not even considering how Abbott himself could be potentially benefiting from these arrangements.

I mean, Abbott's office could've just offered some bullshit exception to disclosure in the PIA, and the Texas Supreme Court would've bought it.  Seems like a B-team PR move to claim withholding because some are "intimate and embarrassing."

Sounds like an answer that a junior PR person got from ChatGPT.

There is no politician that would reply that disclosure would be embarrassing.
