Abbott’s special legislative session starts today

Hi Friend, Greg Abbott’s special legislative session starts today in Texas. And what that means pretty much boils down to one thing: Republicans couldn’t get enough of their terrible bills passed during the normal legislative session this spring, because Democrats and advocates blocked them. So…

[FIGHT BACK] Trump is in Texas today.

Hi Friend, By now, you’ve probably heard the news: Donald Trump is in Texas today, pulling a political stunt at the Texas border alongside our failed governor, Greg Abbott. Trump spent four years attacking our communities and everything we stand for. He threw us in harm’s way during the pandemi…

the fight for voting rights isn’t over

Hi Friend, Today, Republicans blocked the For the People Act from moving forward in the U.S. Senate. This is one more Republican attack on our communities, our right to vote, and our democracy. But the fight for voting rights is far from over. All spring long, Republicans in Texas and around th…

Hi Friend, Exactly two weeks ago, I officially retired from the Texas Democratic Party. So far, retirement is swell. I’ve got my garden, and plenty of time to give my chickens the attention they deserve. And as much as I’ve enjoyed being allowed to cuss publicly about Texas Republicans, well, l…

re: breaking quorum; making history

breaking quorum; making history

Hi Friend, Have you seen the news from last night yet? House Democrats chose to break quorum and walk out of the Capitol -- something that hasn’t been done since 2003. And by doing so together, they killed the GOP’s hateful, anti-voter Senate Bill 7. Texas Democrats have spent all session figh…
