I’m an ER nurse. Undocumented folks do not receive federal healthcare like these Republicans keep suggesting UNLESS it's a life or death situation. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” strips healthcare access from 17 million American citizens.

Illegals should not get Medicaid. This should not have to be said.

When someone is dying in my emergency department, it is my duty to do everything in my power to save their life. Republicans have taken that power from healthcare workers serving pregnant people, and Josseli Barnica died because of it. Remember this when you vote.

I’ll say it every day: Houston should be the most bikable city in the US. It’s flat. It’s temperate. It almost never snows. All we’ve been missing is political will.

I’ll say it every single day: if wider freeways made cities safer and less congested, Houston would be the safest, least congested place to drive.

This is absolutely terrible policy. I can say with authority that it is bad for patients, bad for staff, and bad for public health. All people, regardless of immigration status, deserve to be cared for without interrogation and to feel safe in a hospital setting.

Starting today, Texas hospitals must ask patients about their immigration status. This comes after an executive order from Gov. Greg Abbott. Here's how it works. @UgochiKHOU khou.com/article/news/l…

I am so honored to be your sitting state senator and your Democratic nominee for Senate District 15. I will use every day in the State Senate to fight for public safety, public health, and our shared values. Thank you to everyone who helped make this victory a reality.

I stand with my House colleagues in their courageous decision to break quorum. More to come. #txlege

My name is Molly Cook. I'm a Democrat, ER nurse, and community organizer running for Texas Senate, District 15. I am sick of seeing my patients suffer preventable harm as a direct result of bad policy. Help us send a nurse to the Texas Senate. We don't have any more time to wait.

Lots of new faces here. My name is Molly Cook. I’m an ER Nurse and a Community Organizer. I’m running for Texas Senate District 15 because I am tired of watching my patients suffer and die from bad policy. Like and RT to help us fight for a Texas by the people, not lobbyists!

This tweet makes it hard for me to believe y’all when you say you’re not undertaking racist gerrymandering. I don’t know how you can darken the door of a church and say stuff like this.

I came out as bisexual in 2020. It was a powerful, deeply personal, and liberating experience. Every Texan is precious, and every Texan who identifies as LGBTQ+ deserves to be treated with the dignity. Very proud to be the first out Texas State Senator. #NationalComingOutDay

1/2 I have been a nurse for ten years. Today, I work a twelve hour shift from 7am to 7pm. I am done with seeing my patients die because Republicans in Austin are pushing policies that kill people. No one will fight harder than me because I have seen the human cost up close.

Republicans refused, even symbolically, to put flood relief ahead of their plan to let politicians choose their voters. I’m heading home to my district where the real work is. If Republicans won’t put my constituents first, I will.

This is devastating. I am seeing these patients in my ER, hearing horror stories from neighbors, and struggling just to get ice to vulnerable communities in our district. The disregard and carelessness feels surreal.
