Sometimes I walk out here for really no reason at all. The Texas Capitol is just beautiful and belongs to poor children in east El Paso County as much as it belongs to a hedge fund manager who lives in Highland Park. God bless us all.

- Every Texas Republican I've heard say it's not the time to politicize guns this week will be speaking at a political convention about guns this week in Houston.
- Profanity is using the term "motherfucker." Obscenity is laughing about a weapon that liquifies children.
- Greg Abbott flew to Japan for a sake sippin' tour, but couldn't bother himself to go to Houston while Hurricane Beryl was killing 30 Texans.Kamala Harris flew to Houston for a political rally, but couldn't trouble herself to go a few hundred miles more & see the damage she caused to our border. She refused to mention Jocelyn Nungaray who was recently killed by illegal immigrants in Houston. abc13.com/post/kamala-ha…
- Beto confirms that it was the Abbott campaign demanding there would be no live audience - he points out the #Uvalde families wanted to be in the room for this debate on guns. Abbott said no #TxLege #TxGovDebate
- Looks like Travis County is the first in Texas to see these popping up today
- Don't forget: Five years ago today, 500 people were shot by one man in Las Vegas. 60 died.
- Confirmed: There will be no live in-studio audience for Friday's debate between @GregAbbott_TX and @BetoORourke. Sources tell me Abbott would only agree to face Beto with no audience in the room #txlege
- Abbott Border Blunder: A case of limes goes from $30 to $90. A case of avocados goes from $40 to $120. Number of undocumented immigrants caught/drugs seized: 0 #txlege
- Based on everything I'm hearing, the degree to which Texas business interests are angry with Gov @GregAbbott_TX cannot be overstated. @DanPatrick messed with Disney, but that doesn't matter here. Abbott's border antics are messing with Toyota, HEB, GM, etc #TxLege
- The president shouldn't have to track you down when you abandoned Texans during a hurricane, Governor.Biden's memory fails again. Not once did he call me during Beryl. He has my number & called me on Memorial Day after tornadoes hit Texas. I've had daily calls with state & local officials during Beryl. I spoke with FEMA Admin while on our trade mission but Biden never called.
- "The Reichstag is burning" - a representative of major Texas employers who said @GregAbbott_TX "is fucking over Texas businesses so he can run for president" #txlege
