The Texas Progressive Alliance has been driving around asking about incendiary chemicals as it brings you this week's roundup.
Off the Kuff reports on the petitions turned in by opponents of the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance to require a repeal referendum on the ballot in November, and the determination of the ordinance's backers to defend it against such efforts.
Libby Shaw at Texas Kaos is sick and disgusted to report another chemical explosion like that in West, TX last year is a strong possibility. Why? Because Greg Abbott has a Koch problem: why Texas residents are essentially powerless.
WCNews at Eye on Williamson shows that Greg Abbott's chemical problems makes clear that the GOP in Texas is Corporate-Owned.
While PDiddie at Brains and Eggs finds a great deal to be enthusiastic about in recent developments for the Blue team's chances in November, it's not all peaches and cream for Texas Democrats.
CouldBeTrue of South Texas Chisme knows Greg Abbott loves profits for his cronies over worker safety and Blake Farenthold loves cronies so much he's eased up a teensy bit on the usual republican Hispanic bashing. It's oligarchy first for the GOP.
The Supreme Court ruling giving Hobby Lobby the right to deny contraception health services was a surprise to many Americans. But given how ecstatic Greg Abbott was about the decision, Texas Leftist is left to wonder just what surprises he'd have if elected governor. Would Abbott try to ban birth control in Texas??
