And then some. Make no mistake, they’re going after workers. Workers who desire to earn a decent wage. Workers who might one day earn their citizenship. Workers who just want a chance at life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness without the threat of undeserved jail time or deportation.

This is a serious situation that remains unresolved. I’ve notified the State Regents and reached out to our congressional delegation, but currently have no further information than what’s been reported.

If you’re experiencing power issues, OG&E has a circuit down that’s affecting Norman and Noble. It’s estimated to be restored around 3pm.

Along with several colleagues, I was acknowledged by the Ok State Medical Assoc, including veto overrides on 3 bills which hold insurance companies accountable when patients are harmed by interference.    On the state level, progress is achieved inches at a time, and I’m grateful to serve.

Suddenly, the top Google search in Oklahoma is “The Protector…” #oklaweird

Blow up your TV Throw away your paper Go to the country Build you a home Plant a little garden Eat a lot of peaches Try an’ find Jesus on your own

If any sexually explicit material is ever actually found in schools, at least now we’ll know who put it there. 👀😳 #oklaed

SS Ryan Walters is that weirdo youth pastor kids tried to warn parents about, but parents wouldn’t listen until it was too late. Two years ago, RW sent inappropriate materials to every legislator, and we’re still waiting on action from Republican leadership. #OklaWeird

Oh! I get it now. RW wants vouchers for PRIVATES school! #oklaweird #oklaed

Great hanging w @youngccdems last night! #okdems #youngdems

More political haywire distraction from the SS who can’t functionally perform the duties of the job. There must be more bad news coming out for him this week. 🙄

Sang the anthem to kick off the Maverick bike races this morning on #CampusCorner. Happening until 4pm today and tomorrow. #NormanOK

It’s 9:30pm and we’re still overriding vetoes. A little support from this angel who was rescued along 23rd. Grateful to be doing this work, even on the difficult days. #CapitolCat #okleg #oklahoma #normanok

Hey Oklahoma. Here’s a list of Field Office numbers for our US Senators and Representatives. You should be able to save the pic or screenshot it.

Enjoyed speaking with CD4 Democrats about the mission and the work of our Party! Thank you #okdems!

Since statehood, when government has failed, the people have risen to action. Today, the Oklahoma House Of Representatives gave preference to the failure of government over the will of the people. #oklahoma #normanok #okleg #ballotinitiative

It’s #NormanPride y’all!!! Celebrate this weekend with @normanokpride coalition! #normanok #hd44 #pride

Statement on ODMHSAS with @annieforhouse @jacobrosecrants.bsky.social @goodsenator.bsky.social

OU students with @ou_sga came to visit the other day! Love welcoming them in the building. #ousga #studentgovernment #normanok

Celebrating graduates with @collegedemsok, particularly @marron.kai who serves as @ou_collegedems President! And @ryanmoses27 State President! They share the spirit and do the work. I couldn’t be more proud to work alongside them! #collegedems #collegedemocrats #theresonlyone #normanok

This was the vote on HCR1013, a resolution to proclaim “Christ Is King” as a state government. I voted NO to this obvious virtue signal that does nothing to advance justice, the economy, or protect folks from fanatics. #normanok #hd44 #separationofchurchandstate #actionspeaklouder

For years, Rev. Dr. @shannonmfleck.bsky.social has been challenging Christian Nationalists in Oklahoma. Now, she’s ready to mobilize on the national level with @faithfulamerica.bsky.social.

Had a wonderful conversation with the @Dollywood Foundation about @ImaginationLibrary in Oklahoma. @DollyParton is a legend in song and service. #dollyparton #imaginationlibrary #dollywood #readingreadiness

Celebrating #ResearchDay with @uofoklahoma students doing phenomenal work! #okleg #oklahoma #normanok #boomer #ou

Enjoyed speaking at the Custer County Democratic Party convention this week! I spent many years organizing in my hometown-county and am always grateful to return and inspire this work. #okdems #okdemocrats #democrats

SB484 did not receive a “due pass” motion in committee, meaning it does not move forward at this time. Grateful for all who advocated against this bill. #okleg #oklahoma

Trans Day of Visibility is another opportunity to celebrate the strengths and contributions of our transgender and non-binary neighbors — to recognize all they are and all they face. Thank you for being you!

Wonderful time watching my kid at @normanschools.bsky.social All-City Orchestra and All-City 5th Grade Choir concerts! #MusicEducation was vital in my upbringing and continues to help build talented young people. #normanok #orchestra #choir

I debated against HB2751 which would create massive setback laws against wind turbines. “This bill chooses to tell an industry that we are not looking for your massive investment any longer,” state Rep. Jared Deck, a Democrat from Norman, said. www.koco.com/article/okla... 🎥: KOCO

Ryan Walters has been promoting a new professional organization for teachers using state resources. A lawmaker wants to know -- is that ethical, or legal? #oklaed

Our friends in #Stillwater were hit hard by yesterday’s fires. We can support them at unitedwaypaynecounty.org. S/o to my colleague @ransonhouse34.bsky.social for her leadership in her community. #stillwaterstrong #oklahoma

Hanging w #DollyParton & @ellenpogemiller88.bsky.social & @pioneerlibrarysys.bsky.social at #OklaChildAdv Chili Cook Off! #dollypartonchallenge #librariesofinstagram

Had an absolute blast watching @soonertheatrenorman production of Hadestown Teen Edition! As an @anaismitchell fan, these words speak to this moment as much as they did when she wrote them. #NormanOK #communitytheatre #downtownnorman #soonertheatre #hadestown

Vote TODAY y’all!! #mntc #careertech #schoolbond

Woww. I waved huge red flags regarding this with OK’s private school voucher scam, & was ignored, of course. 🙄 Sure tosses cold water on the “school choice is about getting poor kids out of failing schools” narrative. The kicker? Many private schools increased their tuition. 😳 This is just wrong.

Federal layoffs are now hitting Norman in one of our most critical sectors. Across-the-board cuts are lazy and cowardly acts of governance — and this one endangers our collective safety. www.kgou.org/science-tech...

First day of Session. This guy whispered, “Fight fascism,” as I walked by. Good advice. #woodyguthrie #thisfightwasmadeforyouandme

@thunderbirdclubhouse.bsky.social works w employers for job opportunities for folks w mental illness. Grateful to join @jacobrosecrants.bsky.social @goodsenator.bsky.social in honoring their work. #normanok #normanoklahoma @thenormantranscript.bsky.social www.normantranscript.com/news/thunder...

This 👀 ⬇️ from Dr. Brad Johnson, who’s been banging this drum for years! Y’all…we’ve been in our Standardized Education era since 2000, and it’s waaaay past time to move on!

Signing an Executive Order to freeze federal grant funding was truly a moment of honesty from an Administration that seeks not to govern, but wreak havoc. We see this consistently in Oklahoma, where many in the Majority seek to pass the buck of governance to anyone else. 1/2

More photos of @okhousedems and friends from last night’s Speaker’s Ball! #okleg #okdems #normanok

Yes! This!! 👀⬇️ I’ve been wanting to get a ton of Bible quotes together for some time to battle back against the hate that’s prevalent these days! Again…lots of folks hating on folks need to actually read the Bible. Simple comprehension shouldn’t be rocket science, y’all!

Great time visiting with our certified and support staff educators with Oklahoma Education Association! Thanks for all you do! #redfored #oklaed #normanok

Today is about action and here is a positive one of which I’m grateful to have been part. This past Session, we passed SB1617 to allow cities to change final plat documents for the removal of racist and discriminatory language without approval/disapproval from residents. 1/3

Sunday sermon. #justsaynotochristiannationalism

SB484 is big gov picking winners/losers, telling local gov what to do. Example of conservatives passing buck to avoid the responsibility of actually governing. Specific paragraph includes victims of dom violence, so make no mistake, the consequences are absolutely intentional. #normanok #okleg

Received my committee assignments for the 60th Legislature, 2025-26. Grateful to work on the issues ahead of us! #okleg #oklahoma #normanok #hd44

Proud of our caucus sharing a vision for the state where every child gets a world-class education, every Oklahoman has a good-paying job, & every family has resources to be healthy. We’re compelled to use every avenue to advocate for that vision & our fellow Okies! www.oklahoman.com/story/news/p...
