- When most politicians say “stop politicizing” something, it usually means stop talking about the things they could have done to prevent it.
- Greg Abbott has been Governor of Texas for eight years. With Republican majorities in the House and Senate. Anything he’s saying he’s going to do is something he could have done, but didn’t.
- You want to know why Texas continued to add voting restrictions year after year? This is it.
- Oh my God.
- Honored to introduce the next Governor of Texas, in my hometown, and old stomping grounds. .@BetoORourke @papertigersa
- Don’t forget one reason your utility bills are so high is @GregAbbott_TX’s donors got rich while Texas froze and now we’re paying that ransom in installments.
- This made my morning. Coffee is just an extra at this point.Here’s a clip of the Varsity mariachi first song from home
00:00 - Texas Republicans in one tweet: The Texas Senate is requiring negative COVID tests to enter hearing rooms. Governor .@GregAbbott_TX is forbidding school districts from requiring masks to enter classrooms. #txlege
- Predictable: Texas inches towards purple, a threat to Republican dominance. State leadership takes drastic steps—purging voter rolls, targeting our grassroots champions, and voter suppression laws—to push back. We can either give up or keep going. Let’s keep going.
- Actually you didn’t. You tried to derail it, all the way down to the moments before the signing ceremony. I know, not just because I was there, but I spent nearly two years on that bill; I was responsible for big pieces of it. You were nowhere to be found.I passed the largest school finance reform in 40 years and passed an $11 billion education package, the largest increase in public school funding in Texas history, including the biggest pay raise for teachers in years.
00:00 - The Special Session is dead. Right now, at this very moment, Governor Abbott can grab his pen and state checkbook and send money to Kerr County for flood relief. Right. Now. #txlege
- Texas: If you can’t stand in the long lines due to a physical challenge, you can go to the front and the election workers will allow you to vote. The more you know… #txlege
