This amendment goes DIRECTLY against the will of Texas voters!
58% of Texas voters (R’s, D’s & I’s) support a school choice program in Texas! 77% of Republican voters support it!
Also consider that this bill ensures a 95% funding floor to protect public schools, includes record public school funding increases & teacher salary increases, only allocates enough $ to the ESA portion to fund less than 1% of the Texas student population, and does not allocate a single penny from the foundation school program to ESA’s.
I and every other Republican should STRONGLY oppose this amendment! It is ANTI-FREEDOM, ANTI-PARENTAL EMPOWERMENT, and ANTI-TEXAS! #txlege
If local school districts decide not to open their schools for in person instruction again, families must be given other options. Families need school choice.
Rep. James Talarico is out-of-touch and out-of-state! I am running to defeat him and his far left ideology. Will you chip in so I can take our common sense conservative values to Austin? #txlege https://t.co/IzGw6hVvrM
Thread worth noting on a bill coming up in #TXLege today on special needs education funding. It's basically a question of students vs. the "system." Hope members do the right thing and pass it.
Today in the #TXLege, members of the House Public Education Committee have a chance to help potentially hundreds of thousands of special needs children across Texas. SB 1716 would provide a $1,500 stipend to these families who have been hit the very hardest by the pandemic.
WATCH: Some interest groups oppose $1,500 for families with special needs children because they want bureaucrats to have more control of funding, rather than families and parents. Money should follow the student, which is what this bill does -- why would anybody be against that?
When I heard Burnin' Love on @MichaelBerrySho for Elvis's birthday, my spirits were immediately lifted. Thank you. (Side note: best bumper music of any show).

Funny tweet. Could be the only way to bring satisfaction to a program with such sky-high expectations... the Herman buyout will cost $25M! (including assistants) so why the heck not...
SOURCES: Texas is focused on Dabo Swinney as next head coach. Targeting Lincoln Riley, Bill Belichick and Urban Meyer as backup options and/or coordinators.
If you love our Country and @realDonaldTrump and you live in Georgia, the most important thing you can do is vote for @KLoeffler and @PerdueSenate.

My #Festivus grievance: Fake Outrage against the spending bill on both sides (with a few exceptions of course, @tedcruz, @chiproy, etc). 12 years of Christmas Eve Omnibus spending bills regardless who’s in power. Good luck thinking anything will change. Merry Christmas everyone!
Not to take any thunder from @RandPaul but I’m thinking about a special list of the most obnoxious Never Trumpers to be released on Festivus. Nominations welcome!
Lemme let you in on a fucking secret. All the big government neocons, people like @BillKristol and Steve here, they’re progressives. They have never been in any way conservative.
