Note: Texas DPS (namely Texas State Troopers) have always been pretty shitty and very beholden to the last 30 years of Republican rule
If a Democratic Governor asked them to do this (or something similar), we’d be seeing resignations and protests and bitching and moaning from them

Is an army of DPS officers needed to remove 3 peaceful protesters & Senator Molly Cook for supporting Nicole Collier?
Nicole Collier represents Ft. Worth-district 33, of which 80% of voters are Black & Latino. Their votes will be diluted when Republicans carve them out of the current district.

It’s always “we’re entitled to a winner’s bonus in states we win & proportional representation in states we lose” for Republicans in redistricting.
Trump’s 56% in Texas was less than the winner’s % in roughly 3/5 of presidential elections in state history. The 30 of 38 seats he’s aiming for is 79%

For many Americans, the government’s monthly jobs number was a dull statistic — until President Trump fired the person who produced it. Now, people are wondering if you can trust federal data if the president can just get rid of people who give him facts he doesn’t like. Listen to "The Daily."

The media debates the EFFECTIVENESS of Trump’s crimes rather than the fact that they are crimes. It’s insane.
