Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick: Would you trust the judgement of a man who picked out this shirt?
Three of Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's legislative priorities for the session sputtered out this week — divisive bills designed to punish transgender kids, Democrat-controlled big cities and social media companies — and now he wants a redo.
The arch-conservative leader of the Texas Senate has asked Gov. Greg Abbott, a fellow Republican, to call a special session of the Texas Lege in June so he can advance the controversial measures, the Texas Tribune reports.
