Leader Jeffries pointed to questions about Abbott's failed leadership in Texas as the governor is moving to gerrymander the state as people die in flooding.
I will believe Abbott can be ousted by his own voters when I see the picketing and protesting this monster deserves. For too long now he has been getting re-elected not because he's a great leader but because they are too ashamed to vote against a man in a wheel chair. This man in a wheel chair does not deserve his sympathy. He deserves their strongest ire.
Abbot needs to concentrate on the governance of Texas, with that $80 billion rainy day fund, he failed to
use to protect the Hill Country in Central Texas with early warning sirens. The governor is so willing to control Washington through manipulation and servitude to his King and hand over Texas on a silver platter‼️
The state GOP here in Austin are more interested in passing open-carry legislation and arming Texas residents to the teeth than passing laws to protect our school-age boys and girls.
Not pointed questions, but pointed to questions. You missed a word there, and it changes the meaning. Jeffries mentioned the questions being raised in Texas about Abbott's leadership, but the real point is about the gerrymandering.---Jason
No outside video allowed in links. That we found out is a Substack policy that is considered spam. Technically, all external links in comments are considered spam. We get it. You don't like Jeffries. That's ok, but the gerrymandering in Texas needs to be fought against, and Jeffries will be one of the parties in the inevitable lawsuits that are going to follow.---Jason
There is more to this story! Spanish cruz stopped the appointed time to vote to add a paragraph to the BBBill...Cruz ensured a reduction in funding to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) efforts to improve future weather forecasting of events that cause the sort of extreme floods that are being worsened by climate crisis.
Cruz inserted language into the MAGA’ “big beautiful” reconciliation bill, THAT ELIMINATES A $150 MILLION FUND TO “ACCELERATE ADVANCES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN RESEARCH, OBSERVATION SYSTEMS, MODELING,FORECASTING, ASSESSMENTS, AND DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC” AROUND WEATHER FORECASTING.
A further $50MILLION in NOAA grants to study climate-related impacts on oceans, weather systems and coastal ecosystems WAS ALSO REMOVED.
How the hell do you end a program and have it "accelerate advances and improvement in research" this is how F dumb cruz is....and not one of the morons caught it..He canceled NOAA and FEMA in one F paragraph...
Texas keeps voting for these scum, they are getting what they wanted..
They want to keep it up with MAGAts, expect a lot of deaths...they haven't begun until next year...17 million off Medicaid and almost 1 Million in Texas. Your going to loose everyones f grandparents and then when women can have kids because more than 60% are delivered through Medicaid and the death from bleed out of miscarriages. OH Yeah, Texas is on the oranges shot kill list!
I appreciate Jeffries pointing out these sad, sad, facts. Abbott has been devastating to the Poor and anything good about Texas! Another lizard 🦎. Cold blooded and selfish!! Reposted because more citizens need to be aware!!🇺🇸
Whenever I think of "Hot wheels" Abbott, I think how much fun it would be to restage the "wheelchair scene" in Richard Widmark's "Kiss of Death." We'll do it on the Telegraph Hill stairs in San Francisco. I'll play Tommy Udo and "Hot Wheels" can play the person in the wheel chair. We'll even strap him in good and tight so he makes it all the way down.
Texas always manages to make me embarrassed I was born there.
So do I. I Hate Dubya far more than any other Pariah in the world. And considering how his campaign won by Lying and Cheating and repeatedly telling the SAME Lie over and over again, I’m appalled that Richards’ Staff NEVER sued Dubya.
Indeed, it will be difficult. The biggest problem here in Texas, like most red states, are the rural parts of the state. These are the mostly uneducated Fox viewers. They are rabid Trump voters. You can drive through miles and miles of country roads and see Trump or Cruz signs everywhere. To make inroads here to begin turning this state at least partially Blue will mean large turnout of Democratic voters in the city and suburbs.
Trump is a toad loser and republicans deserve to lose the house and senate and the governor of Texas is scum and should be voted out of office for his handling of emergencys in Texas
It's something ain't it? Better than nothin' which is what Dem leadership did while DOGE went on a rampage to disrupt and destroy government infrastructure. Better than doing virtually nothing to stop the passage of the Big Ugly Bill. It's past time for Democratic leaders to fight every step of the way with every imaginative outside the box tactic they can think of. We are inches away from totalitarian government taking over permanently.
Abbott is an uncaring politician, who will take any opportunity to strengthen his position. When will Texan's see what he is doing and vote him out? He doesn't care about you, but your vote to stay in office!

#FireAbbott #BetoForGovernor
I agree. In an unrigged world, Beto would have been governor many times.
Abbot needs to concentrate on the governance of Texas, with that $80 billion rainy day fund, he failed to
use to protect the Hill Country in Central Texas with early warning sirens. The governor is so willing to control Washington through manipulation and servitude to his King and hand over Texas on a silver platter‼️

It’s the only piece of the Constitution Trump carries on his personal, the Second Amendment. The NRA pays Trump well.
Just another clear example of folks like Abbott seeking power, but not the responsibility that comes with power and leadership
Oooooo “pointed questions”…. That’ll really make a douchebag like Ironsides Abbott think twice…. Such weak and spineless leadership.

Thanks Jason! My “point” was that posing questions to Ironsides Abbott is hardly the definition of “ripping” him… Jeffries is too weak.
I apologize, but I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. Who's weak and spineless?
Thanks for clarifying!
Watch the quick video. You’ll be appalled.

And what happens when the lawsuits reach the Supreme Court? Do you really think they will rule against Trump?
Are you saying that the link doesn’t work? It worked for me after I posted it. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Try $1.6 Million off Medicaid.
I doubt many people actually VOTED FOR Ted “Cancun” Ooze. I think the machines voted for us.

I live here and have been here for a bit over 30 years. I SAW the Cronyist Takeover in 1995.
Same. I miss Ann Richards still…
So do I. I Hate Dubya far more than any other Pariah in the world. And considering how his campaign won by Lying and Cheating and repeatedly telling the SAME Lie over and over again, I’m appalled that Richards’ Staff NEVER sued Dubya.
Good idea to get rid of him, but that will be difficult!

Not just the Suburbs, but the Multiple Bellwether Counties here as well.
I adore Hakeem Jeffries. Good on him for speaking the truth!!!
Just wait until Elon and his billions get involved in supporting the oppositions to repugnants!! It's going to be great!!!
Well done, Hakeem. Keep going!!!
Trump is a toad loser and republicans deserve to lose the house and senate and the governor of Texas is scum and should be voted out of office for his handling of emergencys in Texas
Mr. Jeffries observations about the Texas disaster seem accurate to me.
It's something ain't it? Better than nothin' which is what Dem leadership did while DOGE went on a rampage to disrupt and destroy government infrastructure. Better than doing virtually nothing to stop the passage of the Big Ugly Bill. It's past time for Democratic leaders to fight every step of the way with every imaginative outside the box tactic they can think of. We are inches away from totalitarian government taking over permanently.
At least it's something.
Abbott is an uncaring politician, who will take any opportunity to strengthen his position. When will Texan's see what he is doing and vote him out? He doesn't care about you, but your vote to stay in office!
😔My heart goes out to all Texans who have lost their community of wonderful individuals…💔🕊️💞
🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾
Governor Abbott ‘s heartless cruel analogy … is an insult to grieving families who deserve answers not deflection.🤬😖😡😤😖
