Despite a powerful economy, Texas is still stuck at a $7.25 minimum wage; here's why Despite having the second-largest economy in the country, Texas is one of the states that remain stuck at a minimum wage of $7.25.

Every time I see Greg Abbott brag about the strength of Texas' economy, new corporations moving to our state, how productive we are, I wonder why our minimum wage remains at $7.25. www.statesman.com/story/busine...

Texas braces for federal shutdown impact as deadline nears The standoff over healthcare and spending is threatening to trigger the first U.S. government shutdown in nearly seven years.

In Texas, a total of 224,300 federal workers stand to be impacted by a possible government shutdown. And thousands of essential government employees, such as air traffic controllers, TSA agents, and military personnel, could be required to work without pay. www.kvue.com/article/news...

"Public Citizen compared donors to Texans for Greg Abbott Political Action Committee to companies awarded non-competitive, emergency contracts over the last decade. We identified eight companies that received non-competitive, emergency contracts from the state, most of which were tied to recent disasters such as COVID-19, hurricanes, or border security. In each instance, a company, its owners, or its executives donated large amounts to Gov. Abbott through his Texans for Greg Abbott PAC. After making the donations, the companies and their subsidiaries received one or more contracts, some for tens of millions of dollars. Donations were made by companies, their subsidiaries, their political action committees (PACs), their officers and executives, as well as the spouses of their officers and executives."

Greg Abbott and his billionaire friends are kicking huge sums of money back and forth while working Texans are trying to support their families on $7.25 an hour.

Greg Abbott doesn't rule out presidential run, saying he'll be 'guided by god' The comments came during an event with conservative lobbyists. Abbott has batted down past rumors of a White House bid by saying he is focused on the state.

Greg Abbott has mismanaged every disaster he's overseen as governor. Maybe that's the new standard for presidents now.

This is tonight!

Thanks, Andi!

This should be seen by all Americans.

Would love to.

I would have welcomed Andrew White to the Texas gubernatorial race here as I did on other channels, but he's not on Bluesky.

That said, you're welcome to compare our stances:

• Ensure LGBTQ rights - No Texan should be afraid to be themselves, and the government needs to keep its nose out of our personal lives. Harassment and intimidation are not Texas values. Our LGBTQ community should always feel included, supported, respected, and treated with dignity.

Anyway this is from @bobbyfortx.bsky.social who’s also running for governor

Thanks, Potato. Friend. Friend Potato.

Bill making ivermectin an over-the-counter drug signed by Gov. Greg Abbott Some people use the drug to treat COVID, even though it’s not approved by the FDA for such use.

“It's absolutely important for our rural communities -- they have more access to their pharmacist than they would their health care practitioner."

This is the #txlege solution to rural healthcare access? Animal dewormer? Great, thanks.

Here's a video for anyone confused about what ivermectin is used for.
