Border border that’s all he talks about boring! Bye

Literally on the brinks of a failing grid…

How about on the Power Grid🤬

I can see why DPS has a vested interest in covering for Abbott. Follow the money!

GregAbbott_TX Stop spending our money on your political stunts.

The dude GregAbbott_TX is like a junkie for his fictional border ‘crisis.’ I live on the border in the Rio Grande Valley and have yet to see this supposed crisis but I did see bus stations here overrun with immigrants with trump in office. Where was Abbott then?

Time for a UREC, Urban & Rural Electric Cooperative and ditch Abbott

meanwhile the power grid and texans are melting 🫠

but nothing on the grid? mas puto

Greg Abbott should be using that 30M on the power grid that keeps falling.

Tax that $$$ and fix the electrical infrastructure. Invest $$ in Texas!

Meanwhile I don’t know if I will have electricity this afternoon in 100+ heat. FixTheDamnGrid

That guy makes my gov look like a genius and I'm in AZ.

Where is he getting this $$$ - stealing from some programs

They are taking Taxpayer $$$ and giving it to their cronies. Really Texans, they are robbing you blind. Either Texans are extremely gullible or extremely stupid or both. Just like they did with tole roads $$$, the hurricane $$$, covid $$$, the power grid, etc. etc. etc.

I can’t wait to hear what DOJ finds in its investigation of Operation Lone Star.

I'm old enough to remember when Greg Maggot used tax dollars to bus migrants across the country for a photo opp.

Where is he getting all these millions he keeps using? I saw one report awhile back showing he took from several programs including police. Is this part of that or more $? Anyone keeping tabs on all of this?

Waste of state funds. Absolute waste.

The federal government is not doing their job and Texans are paying the price. We’re the ones dealing with the fentanyl overdoses, the missing and abducted children and cartel violence. “Experts” is just a way to describe “people we agree with”. Not a legitimate title.
