2026 Election Thread

Texas Rep. Brian Harrison



I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!

Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.

We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.

I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!

Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable.

Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.

Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim!

Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.

The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.”

My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:

1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes

2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order

3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected

4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored

5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review

We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.

I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.

The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.

Abbott won't do a thing.

I find this big of a swing between two VASTLY opposing views rather unbelievable.

Now lets go a step further. Texas is a border state and we all saw what happened during the Biden years where people flooded the border from the South. If Republicans don't win the presidency in 2028, you'll have a Dem governor in Florida and a Dem president that will open the border which will ensure Texas never goes red again. All these Texans that stayed home can go fuck themselves and eat their rice and beans and choke on them.

He didn't do a thing for years. Texas is gone. Dooms and Yim will either be posting in Spanish or Arabic. You'll have to upgrade the sight with AI to translate their posts.

Exit polls should be fairly accurate, unless you subscribe to an idea that people walk out of voting precincts and then lie about what they did or how they feel. Exit polls are real people being asked real questions by other real people, and done in real time.

I think this one was specific to Texas. This showed people who exited the polls say they have negative views of Democrats, Socialism and Trans activism.

Yet the results showed those views got all the votes. People are either vastly dumber than we all believe, or this is a yet another prime example of why we should not have electronic voting (or mail in).

Or could it be that the oil companies saw how raping their consumers impacted the election and hope they can drop prices so Republicans can have a talking point for 2028? The only problem with that theory is the left will use it as an example of price drops after they were elected.

Probably, but they arn't even in office yet.

If it dropped the day after they were sworn in, maybe they'd have a point.

But our publick edumekayshun system has ensured people are too stupid to see common sense shit here.

Doesn't matter buddy. They'll still use it as a talking point and people will believe it. Sorry to say this, but Americans are dumb. Beyond dumb.

Yep, democrat mission accomplished with government takeover of education.

The Liberal takeover of the American Education System is so complete, that it has succeeded in creating the dumbest youth this nation has ever seen. They're leaning to voting for "Free Stuff" and other things that slow the country's ability to even make the money to pay for their "Free Stuff".... in other words, the UK or France, as they exist today.

They are so blinded by Climate Change and Open Borders indoctrination that I don't know what can turn that around . . .

Participation awards instead of grades.

It's ok if kids cant read, write or do basic math. They are too oppressed to be expected to make C's or better so we should just give them credit for being in the room. (and most probably dont even do that)

You're in luck Dodger. Her OnlyFans/Online Porn career may be only days away from launching now.

That may be the only positive to come out of this disaster. And Nancy Mace was taking some shots too for the administration not supporting her over Graham. Disaster.

 

[Dodger12]

Make no mistake. I certainly believe many Republicans stayed home but I can also believe that the Dems have perfected the art of the mail in ballot steal.

Texas is dead.
