I just signed a law that puts virtual currency under the Texas Uniform Commercial Code to be a secured transaction. It defines virtual currency, establishes when a person acquires a right in it, and when a person has control of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

I just signed a law banning "Zuckerbucks" in Texas. It bans private groups like the one supported by Zuckerberg from spending millions to administer elections like Zuckerberg & others did in Texas. That is a government function not to be messed with by election influencers. — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Texas is going after the drug cartels and the gangs that help them push dangerous drugs like fentanyl. I just signed a law to increase prison time for manufacturing or delivering fentanyl. It also limits probation and parole for these criminals. — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Texas Counties start charging Illegal aliens with trespass & other crimes that lead to arrest. Texas is expanding this operation to include more counties & ⁦@TxDPS⁩ to make more arrests and to put more people in jail who enter illegally & trespass. https://t.co/vHLpN0O5N5 — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

.@TxDPS is working with @Austin_Police to respond to the downtown shooting & ensure the perpetrators are captured & punished to the fullest extent of the law. Thank you to APD & first responders for saving lives. Join Cecilia & I in prayer for those who were injured. https://t.co/tNvtsCRcwg — PolitiTweet.org

Thank YOU, Del Rio! Our efforts to secure the border will only be successful if we work together. #BorderSummitTX https://t.co/0ltIODPE7W — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

#BorderSummitTX brought local officials & residents together to talk about immediate solutions to the #BidenBorderCrisis. Drugs, gangs, & human traffickers are no laughing matter—nor a photo op for Congress. Texas is doing everything it can to secure the border & restore order. https://t.co/6r89NTGjQZ — PolitiTweet.org

Cryptocurrency wins votes of confidence from Gov. Abbott & Texas Department of Banking. Texas is open for Crypto business. #cryptocurrency #Bitcoin #blockchain https://t.co/22b7FaUTj2 — PolitiTweet.org

Veterans could qualify for medical marijuana under new law. I will sign it. https://t.co/KkoC15Ur66 — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

The border crisis is no laughing matter. It’s also not a tourism site for members of Congress to make an annual pilgrimage to see & then do NOTHING about. In the fed gov’t’s absence, Texas is taking additional action to secure the border & restore order. #BorderSummitTX https://t.co/GWLYOjVVck — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Enhanced Border Security Plan: ➡️ Disaster declaration — individuals entering TX illegally subject to arrest ➡️ Task Force ➡️ Approving over $1B in funding for border security ➡️ Building border barriers ➡️ Interstate compact powers #BorderSummitTX — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

TX is undertaking an unprecedented response to this crisis. We’re going to start making arrests — sending a message to anyone thinking about coming here — you’re not getting a free pass. You’re getting a straight pass to a jail cell. #BorderSummitTX https://t.co/u5cHXh1uVS — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

I’m joining @chiefkidd, Major General Tracy Norris, and Director Steve McCraw for #BorderSummitTX shortly! Watch live to hear how Texas is responding to the #BidenBorderCrisis with the most robust & comprehensive border plan the nation has ever seen. https://t.co/PHeo6aKOJT https://t.co/hLIydcG0Y5 — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Just met with Sheriffs & Police Chiefs on how Biden’s Border Crisis is impacting their communities & what additional actions we must take to respond to this crisis. Working together, we will work to secure the border & keep Texans safe. #BorderSummitTX https://t.co/Mh4TRCKJNu — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Gearing up for #BorderSummitTX.  In Biden’s absence, Texas is stepping up its efforts.  Tune in tonight @ 5 pm CT for more. https://t.co/PHeo6aKOJT https://t.co/dgTBQqBdTn — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Gov. Greg Abbott signs sweeping legislation into law to prevent another Texas power grid failure. The legislature passed comprehensive reforms to fix what caused the power failure and to ensure another one doesn’t happen. https://t.co/ItzjC9yH4P — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Texas has done more than ANY STATE has ever done to protect the border.  But, more is needed.  Tonight, I’ll announce additional action Texas is taking to secure the border and keep Texans safe. #BorderSummitTX https://t.co/bfceL5cD2m — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Republicans picked up a victory in a heavily Hispanic Texas border city in yet another race that proves demographics are not the be-all and end-all in politics. https://t.co/KfD0wyH5Pu — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Texas is working together to secure the border. Tomorrow's #BorderSummitTX will focus on the collaboration between the state gov't, local officials, law enforcement & landowners to ensure a safer future for all Texans. Don't miss it. 5 pm CT. https://t.co/PHeo6aKOJT https://t.co/uydNYzGfwS — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Biden's open border policies are deadly dangerous for everyone across the country. @TxDPS has apprehended enough fentanyl to kill every man, woman, & child in the state of NY. TX has stepped up to secure the border. More to come at the #BorderSummitTX tomorrow. https://t.co/A4nlh2gTXP — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Government spending is out of control in D.C. but not in Texas. I just signed a law limiting the growth of gov't in TX by limiting gov't spending. This law handcuffs the state legislature from reaching into the pockets of taxpayers. Thanks #txlege for getting this to my desk. https://t.co/Z35qZaPk0D — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Everything that needed to be done was done to fix the power grid in Texas. Today, I signed bills into LAW to reform ERCOT & weatherize & improve the reliability of the state's power grid. Thanks @KHancock4TX, @DrSchwertner, & @chrispaddie for your leadership on these issues. https://t.co/sXH5NTZ4Jq — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

The #txlege passed a long list of reforms & improvements to make the Texas power grid stronger than it has ever been before. Tune in LIVE as I sign #SB2 & #SB3 into LAW ⬇️ https://t.co/5V370iPLWA — PolitiTweet.org

Texas Covid numbers continue to improve. * new all-time low in the 7-day positivity rate: 2.81% * 2 fatalities--only 2 days have had fewer since LAST MARCH * hospitalizations remain near 13 month lows Great job, Texans! — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Texas is open 100%. Texans should have the freedom to go where they want without any limits, restrictions, or requirements. Today, I signed a law that prohibits any TX business or gov’t entity from requiring vaccine passports or any vaccine information. https://t.co/JQXOe4cHgY — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

I just signed a law that protects our critical infrastructure from hostile nations seeking to harm the U.S. or Texas. This law will ban countries like China, Russia, North Korea & Iran from accessing our infrastructure. Thanks to the #txlege, @DonnaCampbellTX, & @TanParkerTX. https://t.co/CmNktEwqTb — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

To keep Texas the best state in the nation, we can never forget WHY our state is so exceptional. I signed a law establishing the 1836 project, which promotes patriotic education & ensures future generations understand TX values. Together, we'll keep our rich history alive. https://t.co/4yZuygS2yX — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Supreme Court rules that immigration laws must actually be followed. A unanimous Court, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, explains that in order to apply for legal residency, you must have been admitted to the country lawfully. To stay here legally, you must come here legally. — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

I’m signing a law today that prohibits any business operating in Texas from requiring vaccine passports or any vaccine information. Texas is open 100% without any restrictions or limitations or requirements. — PolitiTweet.org

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX

Today the Covid 7-day positivity rate dropped below 3% for the first time--now at 2.91%. Yesterday & today were the two lowest days for Covid Hospitalizations since April of LAST YEAR. Fatalities continue to decline. Great Job, Texans! — PolitiTweet.org
