Texas Governor Greg Abbott was called out by the state's largest newspaper over his recent comments related to DEI in higher education.

AUSTIN — Gov. Greg Abbott asked Congress to reimburse the state for billions of dollars in Texas taxpayer money spent on border security during former President Joe Biden’s administration. In letters Thursday to congressional leaders and the state delegation, Abbott requested more than $11 billion from Washington.

Abbott says deploying more than 10,000 Texas National Guard soldiers and Texas DPS troopers to the border cost the state almost $6 billion.
