It was submitted by the former Texas Speaker of the House back in 2025. I say former speaker because his RINO ass was removed from that position. I <a href=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/?p=44673\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote about that bill<\/a> back when it was submitted. Thankfully, it was shot down and deservedly so. It was a blatant violation of the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Amendment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>In 2025, House Bill 366 of the Texas Legislature was <a href=\"https:\/\/texasscorecard.com\/state\/2025-the-year-texas-lawmakers-tried-to-criminalize-political-memes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">launched<\/a> as an answer to growing concerns over AI-generated deep fakes, according to Texas Scorecard. The outlet explained that, due to the use of overly-broad language, the bill would criminalize the publication of content that \u201cdid not occur in reality\u201d unless the poster had included a disclaimer, leaving political memes in danger of violating the proposed law.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned above, this would have run afoul of the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Amendment. The intention of the bill was to punish the enemies of the former Speaker of the Texas House who, as I recall, was getting carpet bombed with memes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Violations of the Talarico-backed proposed law could have landed politically-active Texans in prison for up to one year.

The reality is that this is Texas. Elon Musk and President Trump have announced that they are going to send in resources. You can bet that Talarico\u2019s radical ideas, along with his contempt for Texans, will be brought up and loudly. I really can\u2019t see Texas sending someone to the Senate who hates Texas, Texas life and the Constitution.
