Can't we just get healthcare

MAGA chaos in DC = real pain in Denton. Shutdown threats mean delayed paychecks + higher healthcare costs. Denton Republicans are in lockstep with extremists hurting our families. #TXpolitics #DentonCounty

🤡🚨 Brandon Gill is an embarrassment to Texas and congressional district 26 🚨🤡

In '78, NAVY ROTC taught me the values of service and leadership. I'm running for Congress because Trump handpicked my MAGA extremist opponent for the DOGE Committee, where he cut programs vets rely on. I'll stand up for vets in Congress. Country over party.

📣 2026 Campaign Kick-off for Ernest Lineberger for Congressional District 26! 🎉 Enjoy music, food, drinks, and hear from special guests 🌊 Help us build lasting momentum so we can take back the US Congress from MAGA extremists! The blue wave starts here🌊 TICKETS secure.actblue.com/donate/ernes...

🚨 Dallas ICE Facility Shooting 🚨 2 dead. 2 injured. No clear answers. Abbott and Cruz rushed to spin this as politics — before even confirming who was shot.... 🧵 below. #Dallas #TruthOverSpin #PublicTrust #TXPolitics #Accountability #DentonDemocrats

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Plain and simple. DCDP does not condone political violence. #FreeSpeech

Since Texas’s near-total abortion ban went into effect, tens of thousands of women have left the state for abortion care. Most of them pay for their flights, hotels, rideshares, and procedures out of pocket, with many also taking time off work and figuring out childcare.

Today we honor President Lyndon B. Johnson’s birthday — a proud Texan whose Democratic leadership delivered the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, Medicare, and Medicaid. His legacy reminds us of the progress Democrats achieve when we lead with vision and unity. #HappyBirthdayLBJ #DentonDems

Art of the deal.

This is about real conversations with people and not who can raise the most money. #canvassing #grassrootscampaign #forthepeople

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

🚨 At the Texas Capitol, Republicans are forcing Democratic legislators to sign “permission slips” and take DPS escorts just to leave the House chamber. #TXDems #StopTrumpTakeover #NannyStateRepublicans

TX House Dems broke quorum to stall GOP gerrymanders, protect fair maps, and spark national action. Now CA’s fighting back—Newsom calls a special election to redraw maps, aiming to flip seats blue. #CostOfCourage #OneTeam #TexasDems

Democrats and Republicans alike are talking a big game about the quorum break and its consequences while awaiting the most probable outcome.

Abbott’s attempt at mid-decade redistricting isn’t just a political power grab, it’s an attempt to strip the voting power of Latinos in Texas—and prevent us from fighting for access to health care, high-quality public schools, and good paying jobs.

Talarico and Texas Dems break quorum to Halt Gerrymandering Vote.

You gotta know when to hold ‘em! Democrats are holding Republicans accountable for their attempts to rig our elections. Time to play a lil Texas Hold ’Em.

I said it on stage with Beto O'Rourke & Jasmine Crockett, & I’ll say it again: I’m breaking quorum to protect Texans’ right to choose their own reps. When institutions cave to Trump's demands, Texans fight back. Support our fight, chip in: secure.actblue.com/donate/gina-...

I know we say “Everything is bigger in Texas,” but this is, in fact, bigger than Texas. This is nothing but a power grab, and it will ultimately impact all of us.

TX House Dems face fines of $500 per day for breaking quorum?

We remember. #ElPasoStrong

When they tried to use disaster victims as political pawns, Texas Democrats WALKED OUT and shut it down. This is what it looks like to rise up against corruption and fight for the people! 💥 #TXDemocrats #TXLege #OneTeam #TXDemsOneTeam #BreakQuorum #StopTheRig #DentonDems

Color us shocked 😱🙄😒

The NEW TX Democratic Party Chair makes it plain! @kendallscudder.bsky.social

Denton County Democratic Precinct Chairs drove to Austin EARLY this morning to be at the TX GOP’s RIGdistricting Hearing. FIGHT BACK! #DentonDems #TXDems #RIGdistricting

Days after meeting with the DOJ, Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a less restrictive minimum security federal prison camp in Texas.

Goodbye, Washington Post open.substack.com/pub/jcapehar...

@jonathancapehart.bsky.social with the mic drop on his abrupt departure from The Washington Post! Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are fundamental to our democracy and we won’t surrender to tyranny. #FreePress #NeverSurrenderDemocracy #TexasDems #DentonCountyDemocrats #CapehartMicDrop

One was beaten unconscious. Others were covered in bruises, struggling to walk or vomiting blood. Another said he’d been sexually assaulted. These are the stories of 16 former detainees who were deported to El Salvador’s mega prison.

Texas Republicans held SEVEN hearings about their plan to gerrymander the state before even one about flood relief. They’re not interested in helping flood victims.

60 years of Medicaid and Medicare thanks to Democrats’ tireless work.

LBJ & Democrats made sure seniors & low-income Texans got the care they needed. Republicans? They’re working overtime to undo it. 🙃

Texas GOP’s new congressional map is out—and it’s a masterclass in cheating with crayons. #GerrymanderingTexas #RIGdistricting #FightBack #TexasDems

If you can’t beat’em, cheat’em - the Republican Motto 🧵Texas Republicans finally released their corrupt congressional maps, and it confirms what we thought. They don't care at all about ripping representation away from millions of Texans. 👇 #txlege

🎉 60 years ago, LBJ signed Medicare & Medicaid into law and handed the 1st Medicare card to Harry Truman. Today, Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” threatens to tear it apart. Democrats built it. We’ll protect it. #Medicare60 #HandsOffOurHealthcare #DentonCountyDemocrats #MedicaidTurns60

What a scam!

More of this! borderbelt.org/nc-democrati...

Our LBJ Obama Dinner keynote speaker, @jamestalarico.bsky.social ! ! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Remember the victims while the GOP posture themselves to pardon one of the most notorious pedophiles of our time.

UNACCEPTABLE! TX Republicans are scheming to RIGdistrict the entire state! Gov. Abbott is bending the knee to cheat for Trump while GOP RedistrictingCommittee members admit to not knowing the census data, nor even asking for this! It’s time to #FightBack #TXDems #DentonDems #StopRedistricting

If they were being honest, Texas leaders used to frown at Washington interfering in our decisions. Now the Governor is kissing the ring- it’s a sad day for local control and the people who deserve the FAIR chance to elect people of their choice! #nogerrymandering #resist

Republicans have conceded all values or duty to serve the PEOPLE for Trump’s admin to protect: Billionaires, Big Oil, Big Tech, and known abusers. #Project2026 let’s shut this $hit down and take back the house! #DentonDems #DenCoDems #TXDems

@rokhanna.bsky.social is right: The Epstein cover-up is more proof of how far Trump will go to protect himself and the rich and powerful.

TX Dem all-stars are coming to Denton Co! 🎤 Castro, Talarico, Beto (virtually!), Scudder, Goodwin & hosted by Delia Parker-Mims. Join us Aug 23 @ 7PM in Lewisville for the LBJ-Obama Dinner! #DentonDems #OneTeam #LBJObamaDinner #TXDems #Talarico #Castro
