Worth noting that Austin City Council has ordered our police to deprioritize cannabis arrests, a policy which I don't believe would be directly affected by this court decision overturning the decriminalization ordinance.

Fcking texas...

#Texas AG—and total scumbag #kenPaxton—and the TX House Committee on DOGE are investigating an #insurance company—Superior HealthPlan—that provides Medicaid and CHIPs, for allegedly using private investigators to perform surveillance and gather confidential information on lawmakers, journalists and other Texans...the CEO was potentially blackmailing lawmakers to secure state contracts, and surveilling private citizens to avoid paying legitimate claims.

Ken Paxton is outraged by NY's shield law. Yet, he is perfectly fine with such laws in Texas. Perhaps he should find some moral ground to stand on instead of standing on hypocrisy.
