Governor Greg Abbott is getting the kind of headlines he wants.
Abbott issued an executive order last week, outlawing ground transportation of migrants who pose a risk of carrying COVID-19. Abbott even ordered state troopers to stop and search vehicles. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland suggests this is ripe for abuse, calling Abbott’s order dangerous and unlawful.

The Texas governor wasn’t finished though. On Thursday Abbott issued another executive order that essentially makes it impossible for local officials to impose any kind of mask mandate or capacity restrictions on businesses.
Jason Whitely and the Inside Texas Politics team has that and much more on this week’s episode.
