NEW: Texas counties receive subpoenas for voters’ records from the Department of Homeland Security #txlege www.votebeat.org/texas/2026/0...

Someone ask Abbott how this "Keeping Texas Affordable" campaign is going - looks iffy ... [That post is just 2 months old] #txlege

He’s INSANE

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

Forget Bryon Noem. The spouse-of-a-Trump-Cabinet-Secretary you should pay attention to is Vince McMahon, who is currently being sued for sex trafficking and sexual assault. His accuser, Janel Grant, has filed a declaration with truly horrifying details. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: Most Texas prisoners live in cells w/o A/C. A trial starting today could change that. The plaintiffs cite heat-related inmate deaths & staff illnesses as proof of cruel & unusual punishment. Texas argues it's moving as fast as it can to install A/C. #txlege www.expressnews.com/politics/art...

Nearly 10 years ago the #txlege voted to start moving into privatizing foster care. It's going as well as you might think it would. Read this from the Lab Report: labreportdallas.com/p/the-presen...

The party of “law and order.”

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Wait is the Washington Post’s slogan still “Democracy Dies in Darkness?” I guess it still works as a goal rather than a warning

A man very recently called for “involuntary lethal injection” for the mentally ill and the unhoused. Literally talking about murdering other humans—and he still kept his job. Brian Killmeade, Fox & Friends.

Join us at the Texas Capitol from 10 AM onward! We demand the release of Rep Nicole Collier, the passage of flood relief legislation, and rejection of the redistricting scam. What a shameful second special session from Abbott, Burrows, & Patrick. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve... #txlege #letherout

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

New Flash Flood Warning for areas Dallas County in effect until 9:45 PM CDT. Stay safe and avoid flooded roads!

My friends Jess & Josh were impacted by the Central Texas floods this past weekend. They barely made it out of their house (with their infant) in the middle of the night through a bathroom window as water quickly filled their home. I can’t imagine the trauma. gofund.me/31c25423

there's an anecdote about bill clinton's first meeting with putin, where clinton came away from it telling white house staff "he's either very stupid or thinks i am". guess putin finally found his ideal mark

My rage is a living thing. #FuckICE

Rep. Andy Biggs, candidate for Arizona Governor, participating in a paid event hosted by We the People AZ Alliance, a far-right group led by Shelby Busch, who just last year told a crowd she wanted to “lynch” the Maricopa Recorder.

Trump is a human rights abuser. Impeach him.

In areas hit by Texas floods, officials were sent over $5 million in federal ARPA funds in 2021. They didn't want to spend it on flood warning systems due to their disdain for Biden - and didn't send it BACK because it might go to a blue state, and "values that we in Kerr county don't agree with."
