On Wednesday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Department of Transportation to withhold funding from cities and counties that do not remove "political ideologies," a thinly veiled threat that mirrors both the Trump administration and the state of Florida's crusade against rainbow crosswalks.
