Months after stepping in as @TAMU’s interim president in 2023, Mark Welsh went to the Capitol for a meeting with the state’s top elected official: @GregAbbott_TX.

The governor had concerns about Welsh, whose past comments on DEI had re-surfaced. 🧵#txlege

At a capacity of just 7,500, Houston's FIFA Fan Fest is the second-to-smallest among all host cities. The event reached capacity at around 1:40 p.m. today — the first day of the World Cup — just ahead of Mexico's 2 p.m. match vs. South Africa. https://t.co/Q68iN9kW2e

The Texas funeral commission opened a routine probe into the East Plano Islamic Center. Then, in March 2025, the governor’s advisers weaponized the case.

This is the inside story, based on whistleblower testimony & thousands of texts, emails, and documents. #txlege @TexasMonthly

In a recorded call, one of Abbott’s advisers said the governor’s lawyers could find a way to use EPIC’s “moral and ethics code” as a legal basis for permanently denying it a license. He added, “The idea here is you don’t want them operating, period.” #txlege @TexasMonthly

Rather than seek to bring a mosque into compliance for an alleged violation, Greg Abbott's advisers sought to strip it of its license to conduct sacred funeral rites altogether: https://t.co/VkxIhKiNoh

This is an incredible piece of reporting by
@nicogutteridge, who's barely old enough to buy a drink. Among other things, it offers a rare look into how
@GregAbbott_TX's inner circle operates—ruthlessly and possibly criminally.

In my latest, for @TexasMonthly: The inside story of how @GregAbbott_TX weaponized a small, struggling regulatory agency against a religious minority.

[Texas Monthly @TexasMonthly]

Exclusive: A Texas Monthly investigation into the Texas Funeral Service Commission’s probe of a Muslim community shows how Abbott used the agency as a weapon—placing a mosque and its congregants in the crosshairs of a GOP-led effort to combat what some Republicans have labeled the “Islamification” of Texas. https://t.co/nFy7PolHtB

[Ben Rowen @ben_c_rowen]

Greg Abbott's advisers used the Texas Funeral Service Commission as a weapon against a Muslim community. @NicoGutteridge's meticulous reporting spells out how, based on interviews with former staffers and thousands of emails, texts, and documents https://t.co/VkxIhKiNoh
