This had to be written after drinking a bottle of vodka. Only way it could make sense.

Congratulations to the new Chief of Staff, @StephenM.

Double down on the agenda. Too many people are demanding a change to tough policies because they were unpopular in the midterms. That’s foolish and cowardly.

The short term unpopularity of a policy does not make the policy wrong. The President’s priority should be long term benefits (like an Iran without a nuke), not short term popularity.

This is why Texas is now blue. Idiots like you. You sound completely nuts.

🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!

Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.

We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.

I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!

Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable.

Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.

Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim!

Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.

The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.”

My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:

1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes

2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order

3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected

4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored

5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review

We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.

I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.

The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.
