00:00- I won’t apologize for breaking quorum. These maps are racist. They silence Black & Brown voices, strip our power, and erase our future. If defending my community costs me fines, so be it. My voice isn’t for sale, and neither is yours. #TXLege #RacistMaps #DefendDemocracy
- Republicans are using the tragedy of July’s flooding to redraw political maps; not to deliver relief, but to entrench their power. That’s why we’re breaking quorum. We stand with the people, not partisan power grabs. #txlege #FairMapsNowThe choice was clear: Stand by while Abbott silences millions of Black and Latino voters, or use every tool available to stop this assault on our democracy. This corrupt special session is over. #txlege
- Today we lost a titan. My family and I are mourning the loss of Congressman Sylvester Turner. My prayers go out to his family, friends and our shared constituents.
00:00- Vouchers are welfare for the wealthy. Greg Abbott’s voucher scam takes money from our public schools and gives it to wealthy parents who already send their kids to private school. See how much your school could lose at DontDefundMySchool.com #txlege
00:00 - We didn’t come this far to back down, we came to deliver justice. #txlege

- They want five more seats, at the expense of our communities. We’re not running. We’re fighting back. #txlege
00:00 - I’m safe, and more determined than ever. We will not be intimidated. #txlegeThis morning, a threat was made against the safety of the members of the Texas House Democratic Caucus. We are safe, we are secure, and we are undeterred. We are grateful for Governor Pritzker, local, and state law enforcement for their quick action to ensure our safety. #txlege
- If @GregAbbott_TX really cared about flood victims, he’d use his emergency powers or make flood relief the only item on the call. Instead, he’s out here playing video editor while families are gutting their homes. Be a Governor, not a content creator. #TxLegeYou don’t get to disappear when the debate gets hard. This isn’t how public service works. @RepLSimmons should come back and face Texans.
00:00 - The Dean of the House has spoken. Thank you for your wisdom and your guidance during this pivotal time. #txlege @Senfronia4Texas
