Good afternoon, John – With ice and snow in the forecast for tomorrow around the state, this might feel like déjà vu from 2021! While the forecast this week calls for only a short bout of winter weather, last year’s devastating winter freeze was the ultimate reminder that crony establishment politicians don’t actually care about protecting Texans. But even with downed power lines and spotty communications, the Texas Scorecard team was reporting from around the state! It was important then, and is even more important now, for Texans to keep score – to know what politicians are doing with the power they’ve been given. That’s what Texas Scorecard does every day: covering stories and perspectives the crony politicians and establishment media would rather see silenced. The content Texas Scorecard publishes is only possible because of the generous financial support of subscribers all across the state. Compare the legacy media’s coverage of the winter freeze last year to the factual stories in context that Texas Scorecard published. The difference is striking. While legacy media circled the wagons around unreliable “green” energy, we reported on how the state needs more reliable energy. We reported on how state lawmakers had encouraged over-reliance on unreliable “green” energy through taxpayer-funded handouts. We also reported on differing viewpoints from policy experts on whether or not the Texas Legislature effectively addressed this issue in 2021. (Spoiler: We won’t really know for sure until the next big storm hits, unfortunately.) This is just one example of our reporting, but it goes to the core of how we approach every issue that you care about: election integrity, border security, pro-life efforts, child porn in schools, and more. We don’t take government grants. We don’t have corporate advertisers. We don’t hide our content behind a paywall. Our existence depends completely on you and your support. Will you prioritize honest journalism each month and become a monthly supporter? Making a monthly commitment of $18.36, $25, or even $100 ensures your fellow Texans have access to the news in its honest context. Will you fight for liberty with us by becoming a monthly supporter today? We promise to only ever tell you the truth, and we will always be beside you in the fight for a better Texas. Thank you for being in the fight for truth, for liberty, and … For Texas, |
