I’m a gun owner. Do not tell me our Founders conceived of this carnage when they wrote the Constitution. Do not tell me they would have tolerated this madness. Do not tell me that teachers must be armed. And do not tell me your AR15 is worth more than another 14 children’s lives.
We should have fixed it after Columbine.
We should have fixed it after Sandy Hook.
We should have fixed it after Parkland.
I am devastated for the entire community of Uvalde, Texas. #FixIt
Round 1 of listening to senators blow their horns. It's a shame that so many used the disgraceful political dysfunctional history of the senate against Judge Jackson. The senate shouldn't put their problems on Judge Jacksons shoulders.
The agenda for the special session just released. Nothing to address the horrific grid failure or complete lack of access to healthcare for millions of Texans. #txlege
Not included on the Governor’s list of special session agenda items:
— improving the stability of the electric grid
— increasing vaccination rates against COVID
— improving access to affordable health care

@GregAbbott_TX You are the dear leader of a state with a broken power grid, schools ranked 41st in the nation, unemployment over 6%, the most uninsured texans per capita. No wonder you don't want people to exercise their vote. The Republicans do pretty well at winning elections in TX,
@GovAbbott Spending MILLIONS of our tax dollars on a wall is ludicrous when we don't have dependable energy and kids who go to some of the worst schools in the nation.
@GregAbbott_TX Working together we jump through the hoops to go to the polling sites and vote. We trust our system that doesn't allow elected legislators or any joe blow to meddle in the process.
@Cheryl1572 @GregAbbott_TX Last folks I saw wrapped in flags were also carrying bear spray, a super laser baton, stealing riot shields and using flag poles to beat police officers.
@GovAbbott Supressing the vote of all Texans is a huge failure against the people. Don't forget Republicans vote too. Even on Sundays, in the car and we hours a day. I see shades of fascism, communism etc.
