Texas gun signed into law.
Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill Wednesday to allow holstered handguns to be carried in Texas without a permit, delivering a victory for gun advocates and the party’s conservative wing.
Beginning Sept. 1, House Bill 1927 will allow anyone 21 years old or older to legally possess a firearm in Texas to carry a handgun in public without a permit. Current state law allows residents 21 or older to have a gun only after completing the required training and criminal background check to obtain a license to carry.
Abbott will hold a bill signing ceremony at the Alamo in San Antonio on Thursday for the permitless carry measure and several other gun bills. He's expected to be joined by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, House Speaker Dade Phelan, Republican lawmakers, and National Rifle Association representatives.
LEAKED Call EXPOSES Joe Manchin's Corruption
Joe Manchin gave the remarks on a Zoom teleconference session that was obtained by The Intercept.
The meeting was hosted by the group No Labels, a big-money operation co-founded by former Sen. Joe Lieberman that funnels high-net-worth donor money to conservative Democrats and moderate Republicans. Among the gathering’s newsworthy revelations: Manchin described an openness to filibuster reform at odds with his most recent position that will buoy some Democrats’ hopes for enacting their agenda.

McConnell blasts ProPublica tax leak, says whoever is responsible should be 'hunted down and thrown into jail.'
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky on Monday called for legal action against anyone responsible for leaking the tax records of the super-wealthy to ProPublica.
In a recent ProPublica report, the publication detailed how billionaires such as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Warren Buffett have largely avoided paying a substantial amount of income taxes.
The report cited "an anonymous source" who provided the publication "with large amounts of information on the ultrawealthy, everything from the taxes they paid to the income they reported to the profits from their stock trades."
Duringan interview on conservative host Hugh Hewitt's radio show, McConnell rebuked the disclosure of the tax records of some of the most affluent Americans in the country and called for consequences for the perpetrators.
