Lawl, that's rich -- the buildout happened under his watch.

There’s literally a commercial featuring Abbot defending data center buildouts and saying how good they are for communities running right now. Like today.

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 political spectrum.

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.

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.

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