From Justin Miller: Colin Allred's post-Dobbs strategy fell flat here—and for #Democrats all across the country–in the face of the visceral reactionary forces around the economy and immigration summoned by #Trump. texasobserver.org/texas-red-te…

Texas Goes All Red for Ted

Maybe Dems need to recover the lessons of Beto 2018. Or maybe the sun will die before the state turns blue.

Texas' biggest popular vote on abortion post-"Roe" pits local advocates against an abortion travel ban that's part of a scheme to block the path to New Mexico.

Texas Will Allow Justice Department Monitors Outside — Not Inside — Polling Places

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton originally tried kicking federal monitors out of the Lone Star State, but he and the DOJ struck a new agreement.

^{Brandi Buchman (HuffPost)}

“Federal judges denied 2 states’ requests to bar the DOJ from dispatching lawyers to monitor adherence to federal voting rights laws on Election Day.

Both #Missouri & #Texas asked federal courts to keep DOJ lawyers away from their polls.”

Texas hospitals must now ask patients whether they’re in the U.S. legally. Here’s how it works.

@AssociatedPress reports: "Critics fear the change could scare people away from hospitals in Texas, even though patients are not required to answer the questions to receive medical care. The mandate is similar to a policy that debuted last year in Florida."

Texas hospitals will ask about immigration status

Texas hospital patients will be asked if they’re in the U.S. legally starting Friday. The new policy stems from an order by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and it escalates the state’s clash with the Biden administration over immigration.

^{THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (AP News)}

Now #Texas requires hospitals to refuse trtmt of admitted "illegals."

Texas has become the harbinger of #GOP policy.

This what you want? Doctors violating their Hippocratic oath? Sick & injured people condemned to die b/c of #immigration status?

B/c you know what'll happen: ppl won't go to hospitals because they're required to declare their #citizenship &/or immigration status - or that of a family member. And Sbbott'll find some way to track em down

This time, it might be true. According to NBC News, three sources have confirmed that Beyoncé will appear at Kamala Harris's Houston event tomorrow, and one source says she'll perform. It's not the Houston-born superstar's first foray into Democratic politics: She sang at Obama's first inauguration in 2008, and performed at an Ohio rally for Hillary Clinton in the final days of her 2016 presidential bid. Texas isn't expected to be competitive for Harris, but the Senate race is tightening between Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic Rep. Colin Allred. Here's more.
