Eight months ago, Rep. Sylvester Turner D-TX died. His seat in the U.S. House is still vacant. On Tuesday, two Dems advanced to a runoff for that Houston-area seat. When is the runoff?? We don't know.
That runoff date still must be set by Gov. Greg Abbott.

🚨 💰 WOW — @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn snuck a provision into the spending bill that would let them sue the government for $500,000 because Jack Smith looked into their phone records around Trump’s insurrection.

Our mission is born out of disappointment and disgust. For far too long, rural America has been abused by a system that only uses them for their vote.

Each time a protest is violently shut down, a university is defunded for political reasons, or a person is deported without a fair hearing, the foundation of our democracy cracks just a little bit more. We must all raise our voice in opposition before the damage is irreparable.
