Governor Abbott enshrines unscientific xenophobia into executive order, pushing the false narrative that migrants are spreading COVID, and appears to ban private citizens or contractors from transporting migrants, which is *flagrantly* illegal and unconstitutional.

Truly monstrous lies from Senator Cruz. Remember that Abbott first declared Texas to be 100% open and banned all mask mandates at a time when thousands were still testing positive daily—then blamed rising cases on a couple dozen migrants with positive cases.
In South Texas, we’re seeing #COVID positivity rates rising and it’s a direct result of illegal aliens being released into communities.

As I've explained dozens of times now, 1 million encounters ≠ 1 million migrants—so Hagerty's graphic is dead wrong.
The actual number of *people* arrested through the end of May is ~558,000, which is less than the ~623,000 encountered through the same period in FY 2019.
A staggering number for the #BidenBorderCrisis. And yet, the Biden Admin is considering ending the policy of promptly removing illegal crossers! This will only encourage more illegal immigration and undoubtedly worsen the crisis at our southern border.

Enjoy your blueberries. Really enjoy them. And thank the farmworkers who picked them in the heat of day, in the smoke, or in the dead of night. This is highly skilled labor and it's a shame it isn't recognized as such by everyone.
The excessive heat is causing some farm workers to work overnight. Lorena started her shift at 3am harvesting blueberries in Zillah WA. She worked until 10:30am when the heat was unbearable. #Calor #WeFeedYou

This is a great example of how Kafkaesque immigration court is.
A woman seeking asylum, who had attended every hearing so far, got ordered deported because she got to court 40 minutes late after a huge snowstorm caused havoc on the roads.
Yes, she won on appeal. But come on!

If the ports of entry were open to people seeking asylum, there'd be no need for people to take one step across the border and require the Border Patrol process them.
These people aren't a threat. They're not even disorderedly. They're just trying to access the asylum process.
In less than 24 hours, 90 migrants surrendered to agents from the Three Points Station. More than half were unaccompanied #migrant children from Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador.

Abbott's disaster declaration, part 1:
"TEXAS IS BEING DESTROYED RIGHT FRICKIN NOW BY BROWN PEOPLE POURING OVER THE BORDER."
Abbott's disaster declaration, part 2:
"In 90 days, HHSC will strip shelters of their childcare licenses if they are caring for migrant children."

WE DID IT!! We capped the out-of-pocket cost of insulin in Texas!
Our bill is headed to the Governor’s desk for a signature! #txlege
3 years ago I almost slipped into a coma and died. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
I paid $684 for my first 30-day supply of insulin. Some pay $1000+ a month. Many die without it.
Today I introduced legislation to cap the price of insulin at $50 a month. #txlege

This is outrageous. A three-judge panel, all extreme conservatives appointed by Trump, overturned a lower court decision that is legally unassailable—beyond any question correct.
Biden's DOJ must immediately reverse course and ask to lift the stay. Children's lives are at stake.

This is a lie those who ripped children from parents at the border like to tell.
I personally spoke w/ deported parents who were told by ICE their child would be brought to them at the airport & only realized it was a lie when the plane they were handcuffed in took off.
DHS chief Chad Wolf claims some deported parents "have chosen to separate their children from themselves" cbsn.ws/3kC8X0J
