In practice, Texas transparency rules mean a lobbyist could buy the same elected official a steak dinner every night, and as long as the daily cost stays under $132.60, they don’t need to say who benefited.

It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die.
There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”

If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such.
