In headline after headline & lede after lede, the media is helping TX R's by calling TX redistricting map "partisan gerrymandering". The most important element of the map is overt "racial gerrymandering." Partisan gains are realized ONLY by undermining minority voting strength.

Three paragraphs from @HoustonChron's @ChronFalkenberg accurately describes what @GregAbbott_TX & a generation of one-party Republican rule have done to Texas. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

.@skyeperryman calls out Greg Abbott & tears down his bogus claims against TX Dems. A must read ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Stunning cowardice and voter betrayal by TX Congressional Republicans. I've never seen elected from Texas so pathetically submit to Washington political operatives to allow their own state & constituents to be so badly abused. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

No surprise that @GregAbbott_TX operatives & TX R legislators lie under oath? They're the same cowards already betraying families w/ kids killed or missing after raging floods to bend over for Donald Trump & more grossly gerrymander TX Cong districts. Cowards are usually liars too.

[email protected] has the fire, courage, & character Texans expect from leaders but is entirely absent among TX Congressional & Legislative Rs. A mid-decade redraw is an expression of profound cowardice. They are bending over for Trump to betray their own constituents. Pathetic.

It's not just that @DanPatrick is wrong with his hysterics on THC, it's that he is ridiculous and makes agreement on serious and constructive policy harder to reach.

Tarrant Co, TX is a key political battleground. One reason is the desire of mainstream and honorable voters to unload MAGA Republican County Judge Tim O'Hare, who wears racism like a badge of honor and revels in the pain he brings to Tarrant County. lonestarproject.net/2025/06/17/t...

. @JohnCornyn has had many cowardly moments, especially over the last several weeks as he surrendered his dignity to grovel for a Trump belly rub. But Cornyn's failure now to condemn the physical abuse & arrest of Sen Padilla is damning. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

For God's sake, Trump pre-screened soldiers before they could be seated. Pathetically weak, embarrassingly insecure, profoundly incompetent. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Stop short-handing Republicans as "conservatives." Trump & the politicians following/enabling him are imposing oppressive, fascistic & violent big government control. Calling Rs "conservatives" is lazy, inaccurate, enabling & even dangerous. apnews.com/article/insu...

Extreme racial discrimination in Tarrant Co, TX. A racist Co Judge & 2 mindless minions have imposed a racially gerrymandered map that grossly packs & cracks minority voters to destroy their voting strength. Read the Facts section starting at page 6. lonestarproject.net/2025/06/04/b...

If you like extreme & destructive politics that gut schools, hurt families, reward billionaires, & pit Texans against each other, you may be sad to see Tony Tinderholt leave the St House. For the rest of us, enjoy retirement, Tony. Please stay retired. www.texastribune.org/2025/06/02/t...

It's always been true, but now more than ever - It's not just the stock market. Our economy overall and the aspects that help middle-class Americans most thrive when Trump economic proposals are pushed back or reversed. www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/s...

Former Congressman Martin Frost (D-Texas) issued the following statement about the passing of the late Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-New York):

Trump's "motor runs on toxic animus and terminal self-absorption that have killed any true sense of American patriotism."

Hundreds of public safety grants cut, worth $500 million, funded initiatives like drug treatment and gun violence prevention programs.

Must Read-Most redistricting coverage emphasizes partisanship over more important voting rights violations. To his credit, @copycopeland.bsky.social w/ @star-telegram.com offers the most accurate analysis of the mid-decade redistricting unfolding in Tarrant Co. www.star-telegram.com/news/politic...

.@MarcVeasey has this figured out exactly right. MAGA Tarrant Co Judge Tim O'Hare is part of the TX R evolution into a radical & oppressive big government authoritarian state.

Well, it looks like Dem NV Sen Jacky Rosen caught Ted Cruz sleeping and stole his thunder. Rosen brought up and passed the No Tax on Tips bill & got it approved unanimously. I guess Ted was away blabbering through a podcast. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

In today’s “Wait A Damn Minute” we expose the misleading moments of Trump’s “MAGA Minute” in which Karoline Leavitt tries to convince Americans that Trump actually did something this week. Sure, Jan. I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here are the facts. @thepersistnetwork.bsky.social #WADM

The Cookout. 2025

Great question

Interesting that one of the major initial concerns about crypto is that it facilitates money laundering, concealed assets, & other illicit activities. Rather than address those concerns, the industry & the Trump criminal enterprise are using them to corrupt & depose democracy itself.

They received presidential pardons for this ‘message’ and it wasn’t seashells on a beach.

Illegal racial gerrymandering is underway in Texas. And YOU can help stop it. It's time to use your voice and FIGHT BACK against County Judge Tim O'Hare's racist MAGA maps that will tear Tarrant County apart. Join the fight! #lonestarproject #texas #tarrantcounty #redistricting

Trump has turned the Washington "swamped" he campaigned on into a free flowing sewer: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Dear Pres Bush. Glad you've found a fulfilling outlet to express creativity. But, the Trump/MAGA sickness left in your wake is destroying our democracy. Your SCOTUS picks (Roberts & Alito) are disasters. Please get in the game to help save democracy. apnews.com/article/pres...

.@JohnCornyn is spinning his wheels trying to hang on & will likely bail out soullessly. But, Rs thinking @WesleyHuntTX can save the day are wrong. No history in TX of Rs nominating a Black man w/ serious Anglo opposition to any high statewide office. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Wherever you live, don't sleep on the important battle underway to stop blatant intentional racial discrimination in Tarrant Co TX. It could be a last stand for fundamental voting rights. Details here: lonestarproject.net/tarrantredis... www.keranews.org/news/2025-05...

It's clear enough now. Rather than bet that the TX R party still has a soul & will nominate a mainstream conservative, @JohnCornyn has sold his soul & collapsed to a TX R party that abandoned mainstream anything & is extreme, reactionary, & corrupt. www.texastribune.org/2025/05/07/t...

MAGA Republicans are engaged in illegal racial gerrymandering in Tarrant County Texas to violate minority voting rights Check out the LSP page below that details the attack on voting rights in Texas 🔗: lonestarproject.net/tarrantredis...

Everything about Trump & his destructive movement is corrupt & fraudulent. His world is populated by conmen, opportunists, traitors, and fools. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-p...

Whatever Trump has on Lindsey must be absolutely devastating.

Cornyn is cooked. There are no true "Texas" Republicans. They are now all Trump suck-ups and submissives.

"Texas is the hardest game of king of the hill in the country," Democrats are now the mainstream party and can win only if we work together. It is more important now than ever as Republicans tear our state and country apart.

Play close attention to @juliejohnsontx.bsky.social. Among the saddest victims of 1-party R control in TX is the deadly neglect & abuse suffered by TX foster kids. New Dem Congresswoman Johnson is working to provide help to foster kids that TX Rs won't. www.dallasobserver.com/news/dallas-...

The failure of TX Gov Greg Abbott & 30 yrs of 1-party R control is usually laid out in political or ideological terms, but the refusal of Abbott & Rs to serve rural communities - which have supported them the most - tells the failure story clearly: www.texastribune.org/2025/04/23/t...

Would your dog vote for Julie Short? lonestarproject.net/2025/04/21/n...

Happy Easter, EVERYONE!! 👇 Seemed. Appropriate. Today. 😎✨

JUST IN: Three days after a judge awarded $6.6 million to whistleblowers fired for reporting him to the FBI for allegedly using his office to protect a prominent real estate developer in exchange for helping him cheat on his state senator wife, Ken Paxton announces he is running for US Senate.

No additional commentary needed: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

No surprise that Trump refused to honor these fallen servicemen & opted to attend a golf tournament. Remember, Trump thinks they are suckers. He's a disgrace. thehill.com/policy/defen...
