Texas Progressives talk about the border and more

State District Judge Daniella DeSita Lyttle tells DPS and jefe Steve McCraw to release Uvalde records. The state has 20 days to appeal, which it surely will. And, as the story notes, that could affect families trying to file federal civil rights cases, which have a two-year clock. Dunno if executive order can overrule that at the federal level?

Tex-ass lost twice in court on its attempt to usurp the feds on border control. First, federal district judge Alia Moses said that Team Biden could cut the razor wire Strangeabbott and the DPS put up, although chiding Biden's DHS for its backdoor Title 42 and not letting Ill Eagles seeking asylum hit the international bridges. Then, the Fifth Circuit upheld district judge David A. Ezra and said the floating buoys on the Rio Grande must be removed.

Related? DosCentavos tell us about a Human Rights Watch report on deadly migrant chases in South Texas. The report includes recommendations for Greg Abbott, the Texas Lege, President Biden, and others. 

Related? ProPublica / Texas Trib / Frontline have a huge document dump about the Uvalde mass shooting at Robb Elementary. Will that finally prod the DPS to release more without the need of lawsuit?

Fresh off those losses, Kenny Boy Paxton has filed a suit that describes him to a T. He's suing Pfizer for not ending the coronavirus pandemic quickly enough, but citing general antivaxxer and coronavirus conspiracy theorist pseudoscience in the suit. What this surely is, is an audition to be Trump's AG should he be re-elected. (If Trump IS? Blame Genocide Joe, not people like me.)

The Texas GOP executive committee is still OK with Nick Fuentes, but many of them don't want the general public to know that. Goeb says he thinks the vote will be reconsidered in February. Translation: Just as he plans on primarying some senators, he plans to do similar on this. A Goeb-Rinaldi showdown could be fun.
