A Texas court has slashed a $50 million judgment against Infowars founder Alex Jones to about $6 million over falsely calling the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut, school shootings a hoax.
Fun fact:
Texas Governor Greg Abbott had his spine broken, resulting in his paralysis, while out jogging in his youth. He successfully sued and won millions in damages. Then campaigned on stopping “frivolous” lawsuits and helped institute that cap.
This is for Texas only. Still owes 1.4 billion elsewhere.

Classic Republican “Fuck you, I got mine”.
And he also bad mouths wind, solar, and battery storage. Even though they kept the texas grid from crashing this summer. He is just filth.
The cap is waived in those kinds of cases though
They still made it very difficult. It may not be completely pulling the ladder up behind him, but he for sure knocked out a lot of rungs.
