Texas' 'DEATH STAR' Law Passed. What You Need To Know | The Left Wing 8.2
from The Left Wing · host The Left Wing
A law signed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been dubbed the “Death Star bill” for the potentially oppressive powers it grants Texas Republicans, who control state laws, to meddle in the affairs of local communities. Critics are using the “Star Wars” reference for House Bill 2127 because the legislation gives the Texas GOP immense power to impose its will on Texans statewide — including many who disagree with right-wing politics — from afar. We discuss if it's okay for State Governments to wield power in this way, if it's a hypocritical move from the Republican Party & how it may impact other states Related article: https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/death-star-bill-texas-greg-abbott-rcna90454 Our Guest For This Week: Conor Halbleib: https://twitter.com/conor_halbleib *** The video of the episode is attached for all Spotify users *** Follow - The Left Wing: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLeftWingPod Follow - Counterpoint Politics: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/counterpoint_politics/ Follow - Cocktails & Capitalism: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/cocktailsandcapitalism/ Follow - Independent Thought: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/independentthought/?hl=en
