Bookmarking this for the inevitable moment Republicans call for stricter voter laws to combat fraud for elections *they* oversaw....

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

BREAKING: Attorney General Bill Barr has told the AP that the Department of Justice HAS NOT uncovered widespread voting fraud that could have changed 2020 election outcome.

Someone knows it's an election year.

As cases of the New World screwworm increase, so do rumors about the parasitic fly.

Here are some of the biggest myths. https://t.co/LJewFF9hLL

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

📬 Return to Sender: David Steiner.

The postmaster general said USPS would refuse to deliver mail ballots in any state that won't hand over its voter lists to the Trump administration.

But, as Senator Gary Peters points out, the Constitution is clear: states run elections — not the feds.

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

Experts project that 500 million sterile flies are needed weekly to eradicate screwworm, and at the moment, the U.S. government is producing about 100 million every seven days out of a facility in Panama.

That capacity is set to expand, but not enough to reach the 500 million threshold. https://t.co/M6hqilay1Z

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

BREAKING: A judge dismissed the DOJ's lawsuit seeking access to Maryland's unredacted voter registration list, ruling that it was not a record the department could obtain through legal force under federal law.

The DOJ is now 0-9 in its effort to force states to divulge their private voter data. https://t.co/oxauPWfvbb

First the Reflecting Pool turned green with algae. Then the paint started peeling. Now it's headed for another round of repairs.

Another example of misplaced priorities when Americans are focused on the rising cost of everyday life.

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

More than 770,000 children are no longer receiving food benefits one year after the passage of Trump’s Big Ugly bill.

When Republicans promised they wouldn’t cut food assistance to children, they lied. America is now experiencing one of the highest rates of hunger it’s experienced in years directly because of these policies.

More Bible stories in public schools, changes to history lessons before Texas education board today https://t.co/D3BJD4u6OU

So @jonswaine @washingtonpost has seen hundreds of documents containing evidence that Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, was directed throughout her career by the leader of the cult she grew up in

Everything this man says is true and in Texas, we can point to @Istationed after two decades of a program used to teach reading.

Instead of training teachers to teach kids to read, the districts trained them on software fads that were driven by legislation.

The tail wags the dog.

That’s what NCLB did.

It set up a marketplace for software vendors like Istation while also setting schools up for failure under the test-and-punish culture.

It was all by design for future privatization agendas.

That’s where we are now.

NEW: The DEA permitted hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills to hit the streets of New Mexico in bid to build prosecutions

“We poisoned our community to make cases,” DEA Agent David Howell tells @AP

“We 100% got people killed”

Trump is trying to shift the decision about who gets to vote from the states to his administration, using benign sounding administrative procedures, and an executive order that few people are paying attention to. There’s nothing more important to be aware of right now than this. Details here: https://t.co/8dvrOO8Zy6

“The acceleration of takeovers, and the state’s increasingly stringent rating system, comes just as Texas rolls out a school voucher program that will, in most cases, award parents $10,000 in state funds to send their children to private schools.”

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

Texas schools are shutting down and teachers are being laid off because Republican leadership hid the ball with their own members about what the school finance bill would do. But please tell me more about who dated who around here.

Judge Cannon has been sitting on the Jack Smith report for over a year. But the 11th Circuit looks like it's running out of patience. Here's what's happening and why it matters. https://t.co/k9eDX8Lg76

[Rep. Vikki Goodwin @VikkiGoodwinTX]

Texas, this is not who we are. 

Upon Trump's orders, children, who have done nothing wrong, are being imprisoned in Dilley. 

ICE is ignoring the Flores Agreement that says children should not be detained any longer than 20 days at the most. 

Conditions are deplorable, and no one is allowed in with cameras to verify. 

Thank you, Congressman Castro, for your tireless efforts to bring awareness and to advocate for these children and families. 

Why is this happening? The $180 million annual contract with CoreCivic plays a large role.

What will I do about it? When I'm Lt. Governor, we will shut this monstrosity down.

Hill County, TX has paused all data center construction for a year while it assesses the impact they have on the environment. All 254 counties need to do this.

Today’s attacks on humanitarian workers are war crimes. The world cannot accept this as normal. Too many aid workers have died like this around the world. Russia is a permanent member of the UN Security Council but it attacks UN and WCK vehicles in Kherson, Ukraine. While the aid workers survived unharmed, one resident died. This war needs to end now. The suffering needs to end now. We are an American-based NGO @realDonaldTrump @FLOTUS @SecRubio #ChefsForUkraine

A lot of members of the #txlege use cannabis including many Republicans.
