Sorry, but our governor decided that banning dick pics was more important.

The issue is that our governor prioritizes legislating Christian nationalist morality over upgrading basic infrastructure.

You misspelled administration. The governor and his administration focus on the trivial while refusing to give attention to actual problems like the Texas power grid's fragility.
