“It’s the cost-of-living, dummy!”

“We have tried the “centrist, unity, maybe-the-Republicans-will-like-me” candidates for years. They do not convert Republican voters. They just depress Democratic ones.” “If you don’t know what the Texas Democratic base wants, read the Texas Democratic Party Platform. It didn’t fall out of the sky.”

This is great news for TX-26, which was even less Republican leaning in the last cycle than this district, and is projected to be even less-so at midterms. Good thing we have @ernestforcongress.bsky.social fighting for us!

Hell yeah

That’s alright. Brandon Gill will have his day next November when TX-26 landslides him out of office. Also, I’m pretty sure he meant to say “mass illegal immigration,” not “mass legal immigration.” Also, the mayor is a democratic socialist, not a communist. There’s a big difference. Do better BG

For most of Texas, today is all about constitutional amendments. But there are also some key special races happening throughout the state.

Unofficial early results in a special election for a Tarrant County state Senate seat showed Democrat Taylor Rehmet ahead of the next highest performing candidate, Republican Leigh Wambsganss, by 4 percentage points.

Yes, we need more of this. People need to be reminded of what normalcy used to be.

A veteran, an engineer, and a neighbor. Not a culture warrior.

This is the way

The GOP runs on punchlines that end in pain. You struggle, they profit, and they laugh. Cruelty is not a flaw. It is the brand. #WhoVoted4This #GOPCruelty #CrueltyIsThePoint

“D'Souza questioned the toxic comments, asking who within the right-wing sphere had legitimised or encouraged such racially charged language.” YOUR OWN SON-IN-LAW, Brandon Gill, (who I’m sure you helped fund for the TX-26 congressional race in 2024) you idiot. Boy, the FAFO here is immaculate

I was not expecting *that* judge's name at the end of the 1st paragraph.

“Texas Democrats’ most enduring dream, beyond hope in any individual candidate, is that their statewide “political machine” will get its proverbial shit together.” Yep

Check it out! Our fantastic representative, Brandon Gill (TX-26), is hosting a telephone town hall tomorrow night! I’m so appreciative that he gave us so much advance notice so we can prepare questions! Oh boy! Details below.

Quite the crowd in Flower Mound! #NoKings

This is what democracy looks like! Flower Mound, Texas! #nokings

Let’s talk about Rep. Brandon Gill’s most recent claims: “Democrats shut down our government to demand free healthcare for illegal aliens.” False. Undocumented immigrants are barred from federal Medicaid and ACA subsidies by law. Negotiations focused on funding levels and legal immigrant coverage

“Gill’s willingness to seize on sensational online content without verifying it raises questions. If Gill can be fooled by a viral prank video, it raises questions about what other misinformation he might be amplifying.” All of it. He is incapable of independent thought. He lives to amplify the GOP

They penalized “. . . Republicans who voted in favor of the electric assistance bill. This is the modern Texas GOP in a nutshell, so allergic to helping poor and working people that they’ll punish their own members for supporting relief on a basic necessity. Keeping the lights on isn’t ‘woke.’”

This is an opinion piece, that’s fine. The writer wants to see less political violence, agreed. But the irony here is just so incredible. “Many conservatives are frightened” - of what? Aren’t conservatives the ones with all the guns and all three branches of the state and federal government? What -

Just a quick reminder that the only legislation introduced by Brandon Gill (TX-26), so far, to make it past the “Introduced” phase is a bill lowering the age to try children as adults for serious crimes from 16 to 14, in D.C. In Washington D.C. Is that what people in Flower Mound, Texas, voted for?

The Brandon Gill starter pack

While Texans are facing real pain, Rep. Brandon Gill and Trump-Republicans are playing political games with people’s lives: • They pushed a shutdown that risks lost paychecks, delayed benefits, and cuts to critical programs. • They choose chaos over care. 🧵 continued below

Midterms = Lineberger vs. an existential threat to American Democracy, to put it succinctly

I want everyone to know: I’m going to call Brandon Gill’s office every day this week to ask him why he is so focused on DC, and not TX-26, aka his constituents. Feel free to join me. gill.house.gov/media/press-...

As a Texan, yes, the Texas government is nothing but a puppet to the administration. Just a sad, spineless puppet, carved with the blunt instruments of unabashed gerrymandering.

“prohibits K-12 student organizations based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The law also expands parental oversight, granting access to students’ curriculum, mental and physical health records and requiring schools to notify parents when students request a nickname or different pronouns.”

It’s super encouraging to see this in Southlake. I remember seeing several pro-trump demonstrations there during Biden’s term.

Damn. Just saying the quiet part out loud. Makes me so sad to see the great state of Texas going down the authoritarian toilet.

“This Act takes effect, to the extent permitted, on the 30th day after the US AG makes publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified . . . materials in the possession of the DoJ, including the FBI and United States Attorneys’ Offices, that relate to Jeffrey Epstein.”

State Rep. Nicole Collier can’t leave the Texas Capitol building because she won’t sign a paper agreeing to a state police escort.

Texas is in desperate need of real men, certainly not these three cowards and the simps that support them.

Don't Texas the rest of the country.

Submissive is a nice way of saying what they actually are: cowards.

I just went on Fox News to tell the truth about the redistricting power grab in Texas. I asked a simple question: “If Republican policies are so popular, why do they need to redraw these maps; why not run on their policies?” He refused to answer — and cut the interview early.

I am surprised as you that I am recommending a Joe Rogan podcast, but this conversation with TX Rep @jamestalarico.bsky.social is very much worth your while. youtu.be/JTlkTkMQR9s?...

Abbott wants Texas Dems to be removed from office for "abandoning" their voters for 10 days. Yet my Congressman Sylvester Turner died on March 5th & Abbott didn't call for a replacement election until November with an expect runoff in December. I'll go 10 months without representation. Weird, right?

We’ll remember that, Cornyn. Have fun in midterms

The message is “Mess with Texas.” Meant to encourage people in democratic states to support the Texas’ people’s fight against our corrupt Republican government.

Yeehaw!

In an extraordinary move to counter Republican redistricting in Texas, roughly 30 Democrats in the state House are heading to Chicago today to deny a necessary quorum for the GOP to move forward with those efforts. They plan to stay for the week, in a plan brokered with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

Gerrymandering undermines the power of marginalized communities by manipulating district boundaries to weaken their collective voice. For Black, Latino, Indigenous, immigrant, low-income, and other disenfranchised groups, this often means remaining unheard in the places where decisions are made.

This is crazy, that we have come to this-but what other option is there? This may be the best option the people of Texas have to show how much we oppose the radical right agenda. This is literally voting with our pocketbooks.

Yeehaw!! That’s what I’m talkin‘ bout! Texas, show ‘em how it’s done!
