“Major Republican donors, including some who have contributed to Gov. Greg Abbott’s campaigns, joined other conservative Texans in signing an open letter supporting congressional action to increase gun restrictions in response to the mass shooting in Uvalde that left 19 children and two teachers dead last week,” the Dallas Morning News reports.

“The letter, which is running as a full-page ad in The Dallas Morning News on Sunday, endorses the creation of red-flag laws, expanding background checks and raising the age to purchase a gun to 21.”

1. It will be very interesting to see how Abbot and his cronies react to this

If the sudden threat of losing their donors causes them to have a deathbed conversion, it will be obvious how high their level of cynicism is.

So what will Abbott do? Call a Special Session of the Lege?

If he does anything at all that could be viewed as a decent reaction, Beto has the opportunity to go after them because they refused to do anything until their pocketbooks were threatened. After what he did at that press conference in Uvalde, I expect him to do just that.

Beto has No More F***s to give.
