I suspect that the redacted material would be embarrassing to Abbott. It is state correspondence. Surely it belongs to the people to review and decide. If it was "intimate" it doesn't belong in official state material in the first place. meidasnews.com/news/hinojos...

It is not possible that Trump has any concept of what "morally binding" actually means. That would require personality characteristics he does not posses.

Jake Tapper is all about Biden. He started being about Biden after Biden dropped out. He won't be all about Trump until the risk of being negative on Trump goes to zero. He lost the connection to real news.

I think we need to give him some time to see the results of his action. I think to actually criticize something before the policies actually have a chance to have the effect that they're trying to achieve, I think is probably premature. -Senator Stuart Adam (R-Utah). Had enough yet Senator? I have!

Have you noticed that everything Republicans say is about threats and horrible people. And, in reality, it is the Republicans who take people off the street, shoot citizens, and plan for the overthrow of democracy. Hard to square that everyone having health care is an equivalent level of threat.
