‼️Breaking: The Texas House passes a racially gerrymandered congressional map designed to silence Black and Brown Texans and cement power for Trump-aligned extremists. This bill now heads to the Senate and inches dangerously closer to Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk to be signed into law.

Happening Now: Texas House debate on HB4, Trump's rigged redistricting maps This process has been expedited by Texas Republicans and is designed to keep voters in the dark. Check out a few key terms and concepts to know as you tune in to the debate. #txlege

New: An El Paso judge temporarily stopped AG Ken Paxton from prosecuting former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s political group, Powered by People, after Paxton moved to block the organization from financially supporting Texas Democrats who left the state.

Pure people power at the Texas Capitol today! ✊ We’re demanding that Greg Abbott and state lawmakers pass flood relief NOW and reject this redistricting scheme. Send a letter to your representative: bit.ly/txlegecutthebs #txlege

Fierce debate is expected over the legislation, which led Texas House Democrats to leave the state earlier this month, bringing the House to a standstill. If passed by the House today, the legislation attached to the map will still need one more procedural vote before proceeding to the Senate.

How many times do we have to tell Governor Abbott Texans HATE this redistricting nonsense? Sign the petition and let 'em know: Put Texans over Rigged Maps and Restrictions #texas #redistricting #chopped

Abbott is threatening the LARGEST removal of representatives in Texas HISTORY if Democrats don’t return to the Capitol and bend the knee to Donald Trump. When’s the last time he fought for Texans like this?

just stop lol

Casar as CNN presses him about running against Doggett: "We aren't accepting these illegal maps. We're not going to just stand by and be pit against one another... this fight is about something much bigger than the horserace... it's about voters being able to choose their member of Congress"

The Texas Senate State Affairs committee on Monday approved a proposal that would restrict transgender people from using bathrooms in government and school buildings that match their gender.

Breaking: Gov. Greg Abbott threatens Texas House Democrats with removal from office for fleeing state.

Texas House Democrats fled the state Sunday in a bid to block a new congressional map designed to give the GOP five additional seats in the U.S. House next year from passing. bit.ly/4ooW2R2

🚨Over 2,000 Texans, from Austin to Arlington, showed up to shut this redistricting scam down. Texans don’t want this rigged mess. ❤️‍🔥Respect to everyone who braved the heat, held the line, and testified anyway. We made it clear: we’re not backing down.

ACTION ALERT: Greg Abbott & Donald Trump’s new congressional map just dropped, and it’s everything we feared: gerrymandered, racist, and deeply corrupt. They’re trying to silence Texas workers and rig the outcomes before we even get to the ballot box. So we’re fighting back at the #txlege!

Trump and his allies are setting their eyes on Texas and trying to mess with our representation by redrawing our congressional maps! Here’s what’s happening and why we won’t let this BS slide by

“This isn’t redistricting, it’s rigging” Our very own, Mia Balderas addressed a crowd of about 200 Texans on Friday, standing outside the Capitol in Austin, united in the same demand: Leave our maps alone! NO to the Trump Takeover! For more, check out the article ➡️ bit.ly/3UFh67X

From Molly Ivins in 1997: Three strikes and you’re out? Watch Texas spend more on prisons than it does on schools. Thinking of making your tax structure more regressive? Come to the Lone Star State and see how it’s done.

The IRS said clergy and houses of worship should be allowed to make political endorsements, a potential move away from a 71-year-old policy that banned the mixing of religion and politics.

A quarter of Texas' land carries some degree of severe flood risk, leaving an estimated 5 million Texans in possible jeopardy. Local governments — especially counties — have limited policy tools to regulate building in areas most prone to flooding.

In the face of disaster, it's mutual aid that sustain us. It's neighbors, local orgs, and small businesses that respond with urgency, care and no strings attached. Kerrville is counting on all of us and every act of care matters Let’s show up for our neighbors, the Texas way🧡 #texasfloods #mutualaid

17 million people will lose their healthcare if Trump’s budget bill passes the House. All to pay for a tax cut for Trump and Vance’s billionaire donors.

Republicans pulled an all-nighter to: -strip healthcare away from 17 million Americans -take food assistance away from 3 million Americans -eliminate school meal access for 18+ million kids -send energy costs soaring -add $3.3 trillion to national debt -raise health care premiums for seniors

As President Trump and his allies pushed his tax and domestic policy bill, which passed in the Senate on Tuesday, they have insisted that the legislation would be a boon for seniors and the middle class. But some of their most repeated talking points have not been accurate. https://trib.al/7SYzlwD

If Trump's multi-trillion-dollar tax bill is passed: ❌ 17M people will lose health care ❌ Millions will lose food assistance ❌ Public service jobs will be cut All to give billionaires more tax breaks. ☎️ Call your representative NOW & tell them to vote NO:

The Supreme Court ruling against nationwide injunctions is one more example of the justices enabling executive overreach at a time when checks and balances are profoundly strained.

After passing the Senate this morning, Trump's budget bill, which cuts healthcare for 17 million people, heads to the House of Representatives.
