Brief comments on Broken but Unbowed (his book): Abbott suggests that constitutional amendments need to be implemented using an archaic, never-used-before (constitutional) method to allow states to implement their peoples' wishes (seems honorable). My counterargument is that America is too big, and needs to end its massive Federation (which seems to cause so many of the problems here), to allow more-local-rule.
Also, Abbott's continuing crusade on tort limits is a blemish to his own good fortunes (from his own multi-million dollar payouts, ongoing). He spends too much time discussing his physical disabilities; I'd argue he should focus more on his mental deficits.

Abbott and Paxton are comical frauds. Anyone who believes the schtick of either one after all this time maybe shouldn't make financial or healthcare decisions without help from a competent adult.

Alternative headline: Governor Abbott pretended to pause datacenter permitting while actually fast-tracking the process.

This stunt was for the election, it was never real.
I have read Abbott's book [0].
I have family who have worked for him.
Their views on this world are of Power, alone.

I am no longer Texian. Best of luck to future Senator Talarico (D), may he [be allowed to] live long and prosper.
