Ann Johnson becomes the first Texas House Dem to announce she will return for the second special session.

It’s going to be a brutal day for the Rep who already fractured relationships with repro groups during the regular session

Trump’s budget bill:

💊 16+ million people could lose health care
💸 Health care will become more expensive
⚡️ Energy bills will rise
🛒 Families will pay more for food

All to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Please spread the word with friends and family.

Republicans just passed a budget that guts Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches.

They swore they'd fix the economy—but this sure as hell ain’t it.

Any action that takes the right to vote away from US citizens should be glaringly against the values this nation says it has.
The SAVE Act would do just that, by disproportionately targeting marginalized communities & anyone who has ever challenged their birth name.
Tell your reps: say NO to SAVE.

Food access is a basic human right.

Remember that when you look to leaders who:
❌defunded food banks,
❌eliminated support for farmers,
❌fought to end free meals at schools,
❌and are responsible for rising food costs that literally forces people to choose between other essentials and eating.

Reminder: Dr. Oz had to pay $5.25 million to settle a class action suit for promoting phony weight loss cures.

He is a conman. No wonder Trump likes him.

Now he's in charge of running Medicare and Medicaid.

Back in the fall, I had many credible sources telling me that Paxton knew the feds were closing in on him and was even avoiding the Austin office for a time. But on election night, everyone knew he would get off. Ken Paxton would and should be going to jail and now he's going to run for Senate
Justice Department declined to prosecute Texas AG Paxton in final weeks of Biden's term: AP sources
The Justice Department decided in the final weeks of Biden's term not to prosecute Paxton, effectively ending the investigation that cast a shadow over the career of a close ally of President Trump.

4/ British kings used taxation to reward loyalty and punish dissent.

Our own revolution was spurred by the King’s use of heavy taxation of the colonies to punish our push for self governance.

The King’s message was simple: stop protesting and I’ll stop taxing.

3/ You see, our founders created a President with limited and checked powers. They specifically put the power of spending and taxation in the hands of the legislature.

Why? Because they watched how kings and despots used spending and taxes to control their subjects.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

As certain celebrities/influencers attempt to make fascism "fashionable" by promoting uniformity in fashion, decor, body types, & other areas, resist it.

Add elements of your culture & heirlooms.
Use colors/patterns.
Welcome diversity of shapes & size.

Resistance is also in self-expression.

This is classified information.

The President will claim it is not because he’s declassifying it AFTER the fact because his administration is now responsible for one of the greatest national security failures of our time.

The Oversight Committee must immediately call in Hegseth to testify under oath. This huge national security blunder by the Trump Administration has to be investigated.

Then, Hegseth must resign or be fired. In just two months, his incompetence has made our country much less safe.

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security.

They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

There are a lot of bad bills currently making their way through the Texas Legislature. Bills SB 16, SB 76, and SB 37 are especially harmful, and the committee members need to know we do not support these bad bills. Call, give your name and zip code, and tell them to vote no.
