SB 4
After 16 hours of often contentious debate, the Republican-led Texas House tentatively approved a sweeping bill Thursday that would require local sheriffs and police chiefs to comply with federal requests to hold onto individuals in this country illegally or face a misdemeanor criminal charge.

"...banning "sanctuary cities" in their state, debating a bill through which police chiefs and sheriffs could even be jailed for not cooperating fully with federal immigration authorities.
The Texas House bill originally would have allowed local law enforcement officers to inquire about federal immigration status if someone is arrested. A version passed by the state Senate in March would also allow immigration inquiries of anyone who is detained, including during traffic stops.

Texas has withdrawn from the Council of Chief State School Officers, an influential Washington organization that is helping lead the push to create common academic standards across states, among its other efforts.
The state's commissioner of education, Robert Scott, made the decision to pull out of the CCSSO, citing concerns about philosophical differences with the organization, as well as worries about membership costs, a spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency said.
The commissioner felt that "our values don't align with each other" on education policy, said Suzanne Marchman, a spokeswoman for the agency. "We didn't see a return on investment from participating in the organization."
As a result of its decision, Texas will be the only state in the country that is not a CCSSO member, officials with the organization confirmed. CCSSO said it will no longer receive $60,000 in annual dues from the organization.

Sydney Chaffee, who teaches at the Codman Academy Charter Public School in Boston, was selected for the honor by the Council of Chief State School Officers. Last year, she became the first charter school teacher to be named Massachusetts Teacher of the Year, and the council believes she is the first national award winner.
The winner of the national award is traditionally recognized by the president at a White House ceremony soon after being chosen.

President Trump on Wednesday ordered U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to study how the federal government has supported “top-down mandates” that rob autonomy from state and local education authorities, taking aim at Obama-era regulations that Republicans have long sought to eliminate. In an executive order, Trump granted DeVos authority to get rid of K-12 education regulations that don’t comport with federal law. A top U.S. Education Department official admitted, however, that DeVos already has this authority.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/0c7675...a345a92/ss_trump-orders-devos-to-get-rid.html
Observers have noted, with irony, that the ESSA law, in limiting federal authority, actually prohibits Trump from abolishing Common Core, a key campaign pledge.

Sanctuary cities
Without warning Sunday evening, Gov. Greg Abbott signed the anti-immigrant Senate Bill 4 into law.
Offering no notice to media until after he signed the bill, Abbott only issued a press release and a video of himself via Facebook defending the legislation that attacks so-called “sanctuary cities." (The term carries no legal definition but refers to, in the eyes of Abbott, any municipality that isn't acting in lockstep with federal immigration policy.) The clandestine move assured no major citizen-led protests or demonstrations – like the all day sit-in at his offices last week – would prevent the governor from ushering the “Show Me Your Papers” bill into law.
"It seems fitting that Greg Abbott would sign this disgraceful bill on the internet on a Sunday night, far from the press and the public,” said Bob Libal, executive director of Grassroots Leadership. “But we will not be bullied by this law. Communities across the state are vowing that the resistance to SB 4 is only just beginning." Echoing the point, Stephanie Gharakhanian, legal director at Workers Defense Action, said her group is “saddened but not surprised that Greg Abbott chose to sign SB 4 in secrecy.” WDP will “fight against this law in the court and in the street until it is defeated," said Gharakhanian.

The American Civil Liberties Union has issued a travel alert for Texas following the passage of Senate Bill 4, warning visitors to expect possible violations of their constitutional rights if stopped by law enforcement.
The ACLU has issued a Texas travel advisory after the signing of SB4, which bans "sanctuary cities" in the state. Mark D. Wilson/ACLU
The “sanctuary cities” bill that was signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday requires law enforcement officers to comply with federal government requests, and bans police chiefs from urging officers to avoid asking questions regarding immigration status during detentions, which include situation like routine traffic stops.
“The ACLU’s goal is to protect all Texans and all people traveling through Texas — regardless of their immigration status — from illegal harassment by law enforcement,” said Lorella Praeli, ACLU director of immigration policy and campaigns, in a release on Tuesday.

These Federal Agencies Agreed To Conceal Some Of Their Communications From The Public
The agencies are responding to a letter sent from Congressman Jeb Hensarling, a Republican from Texas, who chairs the House Committee on Financial Services.
May 8, 3017
Congressman Jeb Hensarling, a Republican from Texas, sent letters in April to the heads of several federal agencies his committee oversees, declaring that communications and documents produced between the two offices will remain in the committee's control and will not be considered "agency records" — therefore exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests.
"The Committee expects that the [government agency] will decline to produce any such congressional records in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act or any other provision of law or agreement," the letter reads in part.
Rep. Maxine Waters, a Democrat from California and the ranking member of the House Committee on Financial Services, issued a statement calling Hensarling's letter "the height of hypocrisy."
"This is another case of Republicans’ ‘do as I say, not as I do’ approach," Waters said in a statement, adding that Hensarling has made "intrusive and aggressive demands of agencies" for years now.
"And while Congress does have that right, it is the height of hypocrisy for him to take such extraordinary measures to shield himself from the oversight of the American public," she added. "People should ask themselves: What is he trying to hide?"

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/gop-chairman-warns-agencies-requests-records/
The Associated Press obtained additional letters that the Republican lawmaker sent to other agencies within the jurisdiction of his Financial Services Committee. Among the agencies were the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The advocacy group Public Citizen said Hensarling’s letter violates the spirit of the open records law though the legal ramifications are murkier.
“What’s clear is that it’s an outrageous move,” said Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen.
The Financial Services Committee has jurisdiction over issues relating to banking, insurance, federal monetary policy, housing and international finance. On Thursday, it passed legislation rolling back much of the Dodd-Frank laws created under President Barack Obama in response to the 2008 financial crisis.
Weissman said that the committee’s taking on such legislation is one reason to be hypersensitive to secrecy.

Texas, a state with an already tattered family planning safety net, ideologically motivated reproductive health policies, and the highest rate of uninsured individuals didn't need any more signs of trouble for health care – especially women's health. But Texas' shocking maternal mortality rate, a crisis that's drawn national attention, cast another blow, showing Texas women die after childbirth at the highest rate in the developed world.
Senate Bill 790, approved by the state Legislature last session, would have continued the Women's Health Advis*ory Committee (WHAC) for two more years, allowing an opportunity to address access to health services, which in turn could alleviate root causes of the maternal mortality crisis. Abbott's veto pen ended its existence. The decision surprised and angered legislators and women's health advocates.
Considering the mounting scientific evidence demonstrating that the state's decision caused harm to women, it may be less of a mystery when trying to understand why Abbott, a staunch supporter of those decisions, chose to end the body overseeing the fallout of the state's ideological choices.
Bringing the curtain down on the WHAC also means not only fewer eyes on the fragile and vital women's health programs, but less accountability for the state's errors.
In the WHAC's absence, providers are turning to meetings led by the Texas Women's Healthcare Coalition, a nonpartisan organization chaired by Realini that includes 77 health providers and groups, as a way to connect with state health officials. But community forums aren't the same as a direct channel to the state line, some committee members point out. "The end of the committee hasn't stopped providers from wanting to make sure services meet the needs of women," said How*ard. "It's just making their jobs harde

And @GregAbbott_TX’s Churchill tweet is gone. Screenshot from earlier:
11:28 AM - Aug 7, 2018 · Austin, TX
On Tuesday, Churchill historian Richard Langworth confirmed that the specific words cited in Abbott’s tweet — “the fascists of the future will call themselves antifascists” — do not show up when digitally searching millions of published words in letters, speeches, articles and books written by Churchill, or in memoirs by his colleagues and authoritative books about him.
The indispensable site Quote Investigator once conducted a thorough investigation of the “fascism” quote and found no evidence that Huey Long, the other person to whom the phrase is commonly attributed, said it either.
But, though Abbott’s office did scrub the tweet, the governor took a page from the indomitable Churchill by refusing to back down from his original point.
“Listen, what I tweeted was a sentiment that I have, and that is antifa is dangerous to society and antifa is the antithesis of safety and security, and they are antagonists to law enforcement as well as to other people,” Abbott said when asked by reporters about the tweet.

(article does not include fraudulent photo-shop of Churchill, with invented erzatz quote)
Tuesday wasn't the first time Abbott has used his Twitter account to promote less-than-reliable information. Last year, Abbott shared an article falsely claiming Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had vowed to kick players off the team if they did not stand for the National Anthem. When he was later told in a media appearance that the story was not true, Abbott said he wished it was because he supported the sentiment.

Little f*cking drops of blue blood, sweat, and tears
BY MIKE CLARK-MADISON, FRI., NOV. 9, 2018
We still have to look at Cruz's bloated, dead, alien fish face for six more years, even as the same punditocracy demands that Beto at least pretend to run for president in an emerging Dem field that is lacking in non-geriatric white men.
Dems have flipped 31 House seats and only lost three; took seven governorships and lost none; flipped legislative chambers in five states; and saw progressive priorities, from Medicaid expansion to marijuana legalization to nonpartisan redistricting to felon re-enfranchisement, validated by voters in state after state.
Meanwhile, Republicans would not, and now cannot, find a way to avoid the poisoned chalice of Trumpism; does anyone expect the Donald to become more popular with young voters, suburban women, or people of color? With an already booming economy and low unemployment, what would help the GOP take back the House? Other than éminence grise Mitt Romney – the Sam Houston of our age – the few remaining "sane" Republicans have been completely shut out of the national conversation, so the party is now hostage to the whims of our petulant president, who has already begun to purge those who have failed to kiss his ass. He may indeed get re-elected in 2020, but Dems had a really good night in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Penn*syl*vania; how does he win those states again?
Given the crazy tenor of these times, bringing the blue team closer to parity is itself a victory we shouldn't be too quick to disparage. Even if we still have some time to wait before Ted Cruz returns to his home planet.
https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2018-11-09/election-coverage-a-glass-half-full/
gsgs comment- This week, Orange tRump provided another piss visual. Pissing from the great height of Air Force 1 presidential luxury airliner jet, onto the heads of those Republicans that did not succeed in getting elected.
Orage tRump blames it on Absence of the Great Total Embrace and Commitment to Orange tRump's Worship.

No Ol' Slick Rick is now our Nation's Secretary of Energy, a department he wanted to abolish when he was running for president because he didn't know what the department did, just like he didn't know the legal voting age when he was addressing students at a university.
