In 1984. Recent law school grad Greg Abbott was jogging in the affluent Houston, Texas suburb of River Oaks. When he jogged past Divorce attorney Roy Moore's home. A giant oak tree broke and tragically fell on Greg Abbott. Crushing his spine and leaving him paralyzed. Uninsured and unemployed. Abbott had no health insurance. He had over $81,000 in hospital bills. He sued. Abbott got his hospital bills paid and received over $5.7 million dollars in payouts from Moore's home insurance and the tree services company who failed to detect the tree was rotten inside. Still to this day Greg Abbott gets a monthly check that includes cost of living increases each year. And will receive a check for the rest of his life. When Abbott was on the Texas Supreme court . He voted to decrease the amount of money someone in a similar situation could receive. Gregg Abbott supported capping non medical damages in cases like his at $250,000. A reward like the multi million dollars in payouts Abbott received and still receives each and every month till the day he dies would be impossible today. Of course these bills were crafted to not be retroactive. So they do not affect Greg Abbotts payments. Gregg Abbott does everything he can to hurt us Texans. While he laughs all the way to the bank every month with his very generous monthly check that he happily denies to another Texan who is injured in the same way as Abbott was. It goes without saying. This is another example of a GOP hypocrite. OK for me but not for any other Texan. That should be Gov. Greg Abbotts theme song for his life. What a despicable man who cares nothing about anyone's pain and suffering. He got his and to Abbot and the GOP. That's all that matters. @NewBlueUSA #DemVoice1
One reminder for last night: when Trump’s audience was giggling and clapping as he joked about sexual assault and threw out his various races tropes, it’s proof that Trump’s real superpower with his base is that he allows them to be their very worst selves without guilt or shame.
BREAKING: Hunter Biden just met with Chinese President Xi Jinping for dinner, and instantly had trademarks from the Chinese Communist Party approved. Joe Biden then agreed to lift sanctions against a Chinese-state-owned company weeks later.
Whoops, never mind, that was Ivanka and Donald Trump.
HUGE BOMBSHELL: Law enforcement agents at the local, state, and federal levels are actively preparing for the possibility that Donald Trump will be indicted NEXT WEEK according to high-ranking officials familiar with the urgent preparations. RT IF YOU SUPPORT INDICTING TRUMP!
BREAKING: According to Donald Trump he will be ARRESTED on Tuesday. Think about that for a second. The man who Republicans idolize and want to be their nominee in 2024 will be arrested and fingerprinted in New York in 3 days.
Think about all those "LOCK HER UP" chants.
Think about all those lies he told about Hillary Clinton.
He will literally be arrested!
LOCK HIM UP!
Thanks to everybody who voted for these unserious, anti-democratic arsonists who will be paid over $170,000 a year of taxpayer money to keep burning it all down. Good work.
Turn the sound up LOUD and give me 3 MINUTES.
We must be the change we want to see.
I don't want your money
I don't accept ANY donations
I am just asking you to retweet this video to protect women's rights and to get safe schools!

Photos are now coming out showing the mass shooter is a MAGA die hard Trump rally-goer and QAnon fan. His father a big Trump fan and 2A nut. This mass shooting, in a strongly Democratic, heavily Jewish suburb, needs to be investigated as an act of terrorism and a hate crime.
Another day of celebration turned to senseless tragedy. Enough is enough. @GovAbbott, do something. Now. Call us into a special session before this happens again in our state. #HighlandPark#Uvalde
