Texas Legislators Pre-File Flood Of Hard-Left Bills– thefederalist.com

The mask sat quite lightly upon their faces.

Running for office this year, Democrats pretended to pivot to the center. This was especially true in Texas, where the Democrat running for governor said that the culture wars are over, and Democrats have no time for that noise.

They pinky-swore: There was only one thing they cared about, and it was affordability. A new era of common sense was beginning, and Democrats were turning away from other stuff to deal with middle-class economic issues. Then Democrats won a majority in the Texas House, and all of the statewide offices, starting with governor. You’ll be shocked what happens next, I guess.

Texas allows legislators and legislators-elect to pre-file bills for the next legislative session, so they can hit the ground running when they show up in Austin. And November 9 was the first pre-filing day for the January 12, 2027 session when the newly elected legislature starts its work. Monday was the first day we could see what the new Democrat-led Texas House, and their allies in the Texas Senate who know they have a majority in the other chamber, intend to do.

Short answer: They hate guns, they adore transgender everything, they very much want to trans kids, they want more illegal immigrants, they want much more abortion, and they want a much bigger welfare state. See, no more culture wars, just good common sense stuff for the middle class.
