The Texas GOP convention is saying the quiet part out loud. I am a target, I am an enemy because of my faith, my skin and my heritage. They want people to believe people like us are un-American. But we will respond in the most American way possible. We are building a coalition of Texans from all faiths, races, creeds and economic backgrounds to defeat hate at the ballot box this November.

Governor Abbott closed out his speech at the Texas GOP convention with a live elephant. It then peed on the floor as it left the room.

The perfect metaphor for the Texas Republican Party.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America. 

He embodies the broken system we’re running against.

It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

Disgusting… men and women in battle aren’t a video game.

'MORE DETERMINED': Before Sen. @CarolforTexas was set to filibuster the redistricting bill, @LtGovTX called for a 3-hour dinner break. We exclusively spoke to her after the break call. She told me she plans to filibuster for 15+ hours. #txlege https://t.co/b5KkZSxpuy

[Carol Alvarado @CarolforTexas]

The Senate just took a three hour “dinner break”.

I will not be deterred.

Tune in at 11:30 tonight.

[Carol Alvarado @CarolforTexas]

Republicans think they can walk all over us. Today I'm going to kick back.

I’ve submitted my intention to filibuster the new congressional maps.

Going to be a long night.

Entitlement and rigging elections?

Two things Trump is very familiar with. #txlege

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Oh my… Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell just corrected Trump’s math on national television, live, and called out his disinformation.

[Carol Alvarado @CarolforTexas]

Why are we beginning redistricting before getting disaster relief to the Hill Country?

Shoot, why are we doing redistricting at all?

Because when Trump says jump, Texas Republicans ask how high.

#txlege

[Carol Alvarado @CarolforTexas]

Trump’s Texas power grab starts tomorrow.

They’re going to rig our congressional districts ahead of the midterms.

I only need 30 seconds to explain why Texas Republicans are folding like cheap suits.

ICE detains father in front of wife & 3 kids—they had the wrong man.

"They mistook him for another man. They were going to separate him from his family. The trauma is done."

Dozens of agents—in ski masks, hats, sunglasses & body armor—stalked the hallways after court hearings at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City.

Eventually, the agents let him leave with his family and admit, "Sorry, it wasn't him."

But it was too late—video footage ends as elevator doors closed on his traumatized child weeping uncontrollably.

We are heartbroken and outraged by the assassination of Rep. Hortman and her husband & the attempted assassination of Sen. Hoffman and his wife.

Texas Senate Democrats condemn in the strongest possible terms this act of political violence. There is no place for hatred, intimidation or violence in our democracy.

"In Texas, a woman whose water broke at 18 weeks—far too early for her baby to survive outside the womb—was unable to get an abortion until she became septic. She spent three days in the ICU, and one of her fallopian tubes permanently closed from scarring. In Tennessee, a woman lost four pints of blood delivering her dead fetus in a hospital’s holding area. In Oklahoma, a bleeding woman with a nonviable pregnancy was turned away from three separate hospitals. One said she could wait in the parking lot until her condition became life-threatening." https://t.co/5kGQpcWKRA
