FIGHT THE SCHOOL VOUCHER SCAM!!!
New: A narrow majority of the Texas House signed on in support of the chamber’s school voucher bill on Wednesday, signaling that Gov. Greg Abbott’s top priority is on track to clear the lower chamber.
Thin majority of Texas House signs on to support voucher bill
The 75 co-sponsors plus the bill’s author would provide enough votes to pass Gov. Abbott’s top priority measure in the 150-seat House.

In case anyone still cares, museums across the US are currently being censored, especially in Republican controlled states. Institutions receive explicit orders to remove artworks from walls.
This is not normal.

The Capitol Police arrested a group of peaceful protesters who demonstrated today in the Cannon House Office Building against the Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid and lay off thousands of USAID workers. The president has made his message clear: disagree with them, and they will come after you.

A preventable death. How incredibly sad. 😔
The U.S. has officially recorded its first measles death since 2015. Texas health officials have confirmed that an unvaccinated child has passed away from measles amid a massive outbreak that has impacted nine counties in West Texas.

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

It’s a simple thing but folks need to take some time to read through the Constitution. That was the first reading I gave to my class this semester.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Today is 2 yrs since mom died. I've spent the time unpacking a LOT of stuff I wouldn't allow myself to think while she was alive. I no longer grieve her passing. I *DO* regret not doing this work sooner.

Waking up this morning to messages from Europeans, Aussies and Asian folks joining in on our Canadian boycott of the US is just 🤌🤌 the world is behind us. They’re cancelling travel to the US and choosing non-US products when they shop! When being the nice guy pays off 🤓

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems and locking out career employees.
NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research and more. Their critical work saves lives.
My team and I are looking into this and we will not stand for it.

Fun one from today that nobody seems to be clocking amidst all the more substantive chaos. The White House comms department is now declaring that Trump can now "sign [an] executive order into law" without a bill passing Congress. Have never seen this language from a prior White House.
