Too many questionable and preventable deaths under his watch. He's way too bust sending migrants to the esat coast because he's a chronic ne'er-do-well.

You can sue Abbott if you want...
The person who left the kid in the car can sue Abbott, but I don't think it will get anywhere...

It was a BIG stretch to blame him for the rising temperatures and preventing action on climate change. I think that's what I was going for.

90s have always been the norm, pre global warming.
Records go back to the 19th Century.

Grid woes had Texans freezing to death. In a civil society it is the responsibility of government to keep us safe. Negligence by too many politicos is having a devastating effect on our life expectancy. Time to admit they're only serving their donors. And even that they do with a hand held out.

And with todays tech, would be much easier to produce

Require all car seat manufacturers to install a proximity alarm on the seat. It works with an apt on your phone. As soon as you are 20 or more feet away from your child’s car seat,, it goes off

The alarm sensor in the seat is weight based. Remove the child, alarm shuts off

After market kits could be made for older model car seats

If I were a coder and/or had connections, I would do it myself, but alas…
