@ba07ee6f I can't even remember the last time Texas had good news.
@ba07ee6f it's been like this for a long time too. shows where our priorities really are.
@ba07ee6f , The Washington Post ran a story this week about dropping life-expectancies in Republican-led states. Easy access to guns and limited access to health care are both contributing to this trend. Horrible policies ruin lives.
