There have been massive protests in Texas against the Trump regime following the murder by ICE Gestapo and Border Patrol Gestapo of Renee Nicole Good. Say her name. Renee Nicole Good. But even more than the massive protests that we're seeing in Texas against the Trump regime, when you take a look at the latest polling data in Texas, Donald Trump's net approval is negative 6. His overall approval in Texas, which many people believe is a ruby red state, although I believe it is a voter suppressed state, Trump's Approval is at 44%. And when you go through some of the cross tabs on individual issues, Donald Trump's like negative 20, negative 22. When it comes to things like inflation and the economy, let's just go through this together. Also, the people in Texas are pissed at their Governor Abbott. They're pissed at their legislature. They're at the MAGA Republicans there in general. So you take a look right here, Trump's Overall approval only 44%. You look at Trump's net approval on the economy right now it's negative 12%. You go to inflation, Trump is negative 20%. On HealthC, negative 22%. Governor Abbott right now, MAGA Republican governors, negative 3%. Ted Cruz negative 13%. Attorney General Paxton, negative 17%. And Senator Cornyn, who's up for reelection, negative 21%. When you look at how people in Texas view Donald Trump's foreign policy, negative 10% right there on foreign policy. Now you're starting to see MAGA Republicans in Tex defect against Donald Trump on key issues like the Affordable Care act tax credits, the subsidies that lower the price on the Affordable Care Act. Now, when Donald Trump was flying back from Mar a Lago to Washington D.C. last night on Air Force One, he said that if the Senate were to pass a bill to extend the Affordable Care act subsidies, that he would likely veto it. I'll play that in just a moment, but you've got MAGA Republican congressman members like Monica De La Cruz in Texas joining with the Democrats in the House of Representatives to pass the Affordable Care act subsidy extensions. She's from Edinburgh. And she was a Texas Republican, the only Texas Republican, but still one who voted against Donald Trump and voted for the extension of the Affordable Care Act's tax subsidies. Here's what she writes. Rising healthcare costs remain a concern for many in our South Texas communities. I have been committed to working with members on both sides of the aisle to find a bipartisan solution to expand options for families, lower healthcare costs, and require price transparency for prescription drug prices. While this is not what we initially wanted, today's vote is in the best interest of South Texas families and the only option to bring certainty for those who rely on these credits. South Texas in particular has benefited from the expanded tax credits. Over 20% of residents are enrolled in the ACA in numerous counties in the region, including Deval Hidalgo and Star counties. De La Cruz's district in both its current and future redistricted iteration includes much of Hidalgo County. Now, in response to the massive protests you had, MAGA Republican Governor Greg Abbott seem to praise the police for cracking down on some of the protests. And Greg Abbott goes, texas is not Minnesota. It's interesting though, because Austin is a more liberal city but and that's where Austin police have charged into the crowd. But he goes, texas is not Minnesota. To which many commentators said, yeah, you're right there, Abbott. On the one hand, Governor Abbott vetoed funding for federal summer lunch programs for low income children. On the other hand, Governor Walls of Minnesota signed universal school meal bills into Minnesota law. On the one hand, Minnesota's crime rate is about homicide rate is about 3 per 100,000 whereas Texas's homicide rate is basically double about 5.9 per 1, 100,000. Um, so twice as unsafe in Texas. Now we've actually heard from people in Texas House of Representative hearings when Texas was going to do and did the unlawful gerrymandering to try to rig the midterms. But fortunately California responded. Remember when there was this Texas voter right here who torched Donald Trump and Greg Abbott here play this clip.
