Just to be clear.
In January, Texas Republicans introduced a bill to secede from the United States.
Yesterday, the Texas governor and both senators (including Ted Cruz) asked Biden for an emergency declaration because their private electrical grid failed.
Several years ago, Cruz voted against federal relief for New England states affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Last year during rolling blackouts in California, Cruz and several other Texas Republicans shredded California Democrats for supposedly being at fault for the outages.
Texas, a red state, did not go for Biden.
Biden granted the emergency declaration without making fun of Texas, without bringing up the secession bill, without pointing out all the shit Cruz has said about him, and without criticizing the state’s decision to get off the national grid to evade federal regulations.
He just did it. Because Texans are Americans, too. And they’re hurting, and need relief.
Just to be clear.
I couldn't find that exact blog, but I found this: Abbot again sues EPA over state's air permit process. So Abbot sued EPA for feud over the state's rules for air pollution from refiners and other large industries.
It's more important for State of the Texas to have less restrictions on air polluting than health of it's citizens.
