Big deal hearing it from a Texas GOP governor who's usually in lock step with the Trump administration. Texans must really hate these things across the politica

  Greg Abbott has a long tradition of about-facing ahead of reelection. Ignore anything that comes out of his mouth until after November.

    You can tell more about him by keeping an eye on what goes into his wallet. He's gotten millions in donations/bribes from companies who want to profit from data centers. He's not letting them down.

  The polling must have shown a vulnerability - Democrats in Texas (and a few MAGA like Sid Miller) were hammering GOP on this issue until Abbott finally changed his tune. Texas voters hate it more than pedophiles cause Ken Paxton mismanaged a bunch of those cases resulting in lenient plea deals that didn’t make a dent in Paxton support earlier this year, and he won the GOP statewide primary. He probably will win the general election but here’s hoping against it.

    > Texas voters hate it more than pedophiles I'm not sure if this is a very strong statement, most of them voted for Trump after all.

  Abbott will suddenly be in favor of deregulating all data center construction by December. He has a track record on this.
