@Ironicalm8@EhresmanKatya@BucyForTexas Literally in her bill that birth certificates are the one of two ways to prove citizenship for natural born citizens. The other way is a passport. No mention of DL, which is why Rep. Bucy asked her to use the same language for acceptable IDs that is used in law for voting.
@NateSchatzline Spent 6 months on a grand jury recently. We sadly heard too many cases about church going or church leading men raping children. Really want to protect children? Out the pedophiles the church protects.
@Dowens8490 @Carlos__Turcios Not really going backwards. This isn’t new. This is what Texas has taught since W was governor. State doesn’t allow schools to teach robust sex ed. Our esteemed (haha) leaders prefer to push their distorted Christian beliefs over science.
Reminder to college voters: the GOP last #txlege session filed a bill to prohibit polling locations on college campuses throughout Texas. Your voice and your vote are POWERFUL. If it wasn't, they wouldn't try so hard to silence it. Polls are open today, go vote! 🗳️
Wisconsin made history this week! @GovEvers signed into law new, competitive state legislative maps that get rid of one of the most gerrymandered maps in the country. Wisconsinites will now have a real shot at electing leaders who are responsive to the will of the people.
Proud moment in the #txlege y’day as we honored a very special member of our family, longtime House Messenger Matthew Wright, who has etched his name in the annals of sports glory forever by winning the natl @SpecialOlympics Golf Championship! Congrats Matthew! You make us proud.
BREAKING: The Texas House just killed Greg Abbott’s voucher scam!
A bipartisan majority stood strong for our neighborhood schools to support students, teachers, and Texas families.
Our message is clear: voucher scams have no place in our state.
Rep. Harrison, who voted to take away parents’ rights to make medical decisions for their children, calling the amendment to remove vouchers “the most anti-parent bill to ever come on the House floor” must have a very short memory.
I am excited to announce my candidacy for Austin City Council District 10!
As a former teacher, I saw first-hand the impact our policies had on my students — and we can do better.
Together, we will craft real solutions to the problems affecting families across our great city.
Speaker Mike Johnson has gone to great lengths to scrub his social media. So here with his "Teacher/Wife" Kelly is the sermon he doesn't want you to hear: "Answer for Our Times."
Thread:
HB 36 will implement Online Voter Registration.
Over 4 MILLION Texans have registered to vote online when updating their driver licenses—it’s time we make online registration available to all eligible Texans.
It’s more efficient, more secure, and will increase voter turnout!
HB 34 will help eligible kids access healthcare by enrolling them in Medicaid or CHIP through Express Lane Eligibility.
We lead the nation in the number of uninsured children, & on Abbott's watch, over 400,000 Texas kids have been kicked off Medicaid.
Texas kids deserve better.
