Tex-ass chickenshittery on Big Bend

Per the national parks and environment half of last week's Texas Progressives roundup, I am not at all shocked that Tex-ass Rethuglicans have gone semi-AWOL to fully so on a Big Bend border wall. The Monthly has the details, complete with "Texas toughness rating."

Besides the elected officials, it adds a bonus, that also doesn't shock me. Matthew McConaughey is also chickenshit, and is being called out for it.
