Hope everyone in Texas stays safe and warm. And remember, we're a red state. School shootings? Failing power grid? How do you fix everything? Thoughts and prayers.🙏🙏🙏 Please send them our way, I really don't want to have to drain the pool pumps in this cold. #TurnTexasBlue
@seculardotorg That not accepting religious dogma is not a rejection of morality. Disbelief in a deity as supreme moral authority does raise the difficult question of how to live a moral life. But wishing for such an authority isn’t an argument for its existence.
So apparently @avamax is my jam, I spent 924 minutes with her this year on @Spotify. She was my #1. Apparently I'm also in her top .5% of listeners on Spotify! 🤣 Love her sound. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/AECQYkQlXr
I’m running for governor.
Together, we can push past the small and divisive politics that we see in Texas today — and get back to the big, bold vision that used to define Texas. A Texas big enough for all of us.

New polling out today from @NavigatorSurvey indicates that a large majority of the country — 70% — supports the Build Back Better Act and believes it should be passed urgently.
Biden’s vaccine mandate is an assault on private businesses.
I issued an Executive Order protecting Texans’ right to choose whether they get the COVID vaccine & added it to the special session agenda.
Texas is already working to halt this power grab.

@friscoisd is it time for us in Frisco to consider putting a mask mandate back in place in our schools to protect my son and other children and teachers?
Texas schools have amassed more than 50,000 confirmed coronavirus student cases in just weeks. More than a dozen school districts have closed temporarily as a result of the disease, and Texas is a leader in child #COVID19 deaths with 59 as of Sept. 3. 🧵

Thanks to the continuing failed leadership of @GovAbbott, hospital costs for treating unvaccinated COVID patients likely exceeded $280 MILLION in Texas — in June-July alone. #txlege https://t.co/04xESuYOmc
The U.S. House just passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
This is an important step forward, but not enough to save our democracy until this bill and the For the People Act become law.
The President must push to reform the filibuster so that the Senate can pass both bills.
Especially now with the Pfizer vaccine being fully approved, am I the only one thinking we should normalize referring to it as COVID immunization? We all grew up getting immunizations, showing proof of immunization to go to school, etc. This is just one more. #GetVaccinated
Watch as the Texas House debates Texas voter suppression bill SB 1: https://t.co/VOSgKeCp1W
And if you're a Texas resident, register your opposition to the bill here: https://t.co/ZttfwmLrqM
Make sure your lawmakers hear from you.
Ok @VancityReynolds work your magic! Loved #FreeGuy and just discovered the version I loved of Fantasy was Jodie Comer herself! How do I get this track to listen to on repeat?
@dremilyportermd @DavidLakes3 This is why the question has to be asked: Should the unvaccinated be denied health care during medical triage? @NewslineCO

Great article on steps to take to close the gap on closed loop plastics recycling. Love the idea of a virgin plastics tax. #recycling

I’m proud of the Texas House Democrats.
They’ve done more than we ever could’ve asked to stop voter suppression and give Congress time to act.
It’s now time for the President and the Senate to finish the job. Pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
Greg Abbot attended a crowded, maskless indoor political event and now he unfortunately has Covid.
He’s getting VIP treatment—a third booster shot, Renegeron—unavailable to everyday Texans.
It’s the height of hypocrisy for him not to let schools require masks.
We went a whole three days. And I don't know if it's our district or because of Abbott but it was uselessly vague. Someone got it, my son might have been exposed. Maybe, maybe not. Do with this what you will. 😒
