Did Abbott et al. force Texas to abide by all Biden executive orders? | Much campaign news – Pratt on Texas 12/8/2021

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

Comments by Lubbock council members Joy and Christian show authoritarian leftist inclinations and arrogance.
