The health care thing is the most astonishing of all our shortcomings. Medicaid money is already going out of the state, and ends up in other states that have expanded it. We are basically shipping away billions of our tax dollars every year because our government's leadership refuses to help the poor, for whatever reason. And Greg Abbott talks about improved mental health services to prevent gun violence and ignores the fact that we are last in the nation in terms of mental health care. Anyway, keep up the good work, Deece. In this moment, your informed opinion and analyses are critical.

Fascinating insight from someone returning to Texas state legislature. I've watched closer this session than I have in the past and I have been impressed with several of the Harris County area reps. I moved here in 1986 and the switch to GOP as a state was fairly fresh I believe. I volunteered with Mothers Against Greg Abbott last election and there wasn't much national democratic support. It was local groups linking together to cover the state. I guess we look like a lost cause but I wonder.
