[Stan Stanart for HD126 @StanStanart]

Thank you to the voters of House District 126! I am honored and humbled by your vote tonight and to be your Republican nominee for State Representative! I am committed to conservative leadership for you that reflects our Christian values, cuts property taxes, keeps Sharia law out of Texas, reduces crime in our community, strengthens election integrity and secures our border for generations to come.

Thank you to Governor @GovHotWheels_TX, Lieutenant Governor @DanPatrick, Senator @TeamBettencourt, @MattressMack, the many State Representatives, pastors, grassroots leaders and conservative organizations who supported this campaign.

Join me in uniting for November as we work tirelessly to keep our district a Republican stronghold and fight to turn Harris County red!

[Governor Hot Wheels @GovHotWheels_TX]

🤠 Big win for @StanStanart!

The mission is clear: Protect Texas, defend our values, and win big in November.

Let's Roll!

[Brad Johnson @bradj_TX]

Looking like a quick night, folks.

[Texas Young Republican Federation @TexasYRs]

In a galaxy far, far away, rebels fought an empire.

Here in Texas, young Republicans are fighting big government and woke nonsense.

May the 4th be with you. 🌟

Currently on the last few chapters of Kingdom of Ash from the Throne of Glass series…

Tell me why I have to keep putting it down so I can stop SOBBING so I can continue reading through my tears.

WHY.

Vote Corgi 2028

[Luna M ✨ @tiredfeminist_]

The Corgi was the one leading them home
The German Shepherd was injured
The dogs kept a protective formation around the German Shepherd
The Corgi stopped often to make sure they were still okay
It took them 2 days to get home
They are neighbourhood friends
I’m going to cry😭😭😭

Teaching my daughter about payroll withholding

She did chores all week so I owe her $10

I hand her $7

> this isn't $10

"right, I withheld the rest"

> what does that mean

"I kept $3 of your money"

> but it's my money

"It was your money"

> what are you even doing with it?

"Funding household infrastructure"

> what

"The roof over your head. The hallway you walk through to get to the bathroom. The door locks that keep strangers out"

> you're charging me for the hallway

"I'm charging you for access to the hallway. The hallway itself was a capital expenditure"

> you're my dad. you're supposed to---

"I'm also your government"

> what if I don't want to pay for the hallway

"Then I can't guarantee the hallway"

> it's a hallway. It's already there

"For now"

She asks what else the $3 covers

"Meals, dispute resolution, nightlight maintenance"

> dispute resolution?

"When your brother takes your toys and I make him give them back. That's taxpayer funded"

> that's just parenting

"That's the Department of Justice"

> what about meals. You already feed me

"That's a social program. Not everyone qualifies"

> I'm your daughter

"Which is why you're currently enrolled"

She wants to see where the money goes

I tell her that would require a FOIA request

> what's that

"A form asking me to show you what I do with your money. Processing time is 6 to 8 weeks"

> 6 weeks to see where my $3 went?

"Could be longer. We're understaffed"

> there's two of you

She asks how she gets any of it back

"It's already spent"

> you spent my money already?

"We had a budget shortfall"

> you just took it 20 seconds ago

"And the deficit existed 30 seconds ago. The timing worked out"

> so I'm not getting it back

"I didn't say that. You might qualify for a refund"

> of my own money

"Correct. You just have to fill out a form telling me how much you made"

> you know how much I made. You paid me

"Right but I need you to tell me how much I paid you"

> so you already know the answer

"The point is compliance"

She asks what happens if she gets the number wrong

"Penalty"

> from the money I don't have because you already spent it?

"We could set up a payment plan"

> I'm 8

"Monthly installments. Very manageable"

> you're going to penalize me for getting wrong a number you already know and then make me pay you back with money you took from me

"Now you're getting it"

> I want to talk to mom

"Mom's not a qualified representative. She can't help you here"

She stormed off to her room saying how this is extortion

Slammed the door

That's my little citizen

I've never been more proud

[Kae @KaelaThompson_]

Someone please give me motivation to go to the gym 😅

[Kae @KaelaThompson_]

@literally_chad But thats strongly contingent on separating for literal years, completely moving on from each other and growing as people

[Kae @KaelaThompson_]

@literally_chad Counterpoint, how do you feel about right person wrong time? Normally yes, your ex is not your soulmate. But if you dated in your teens, spent years apart and grew as humans and reconnected in later years after your frontal love developed? I think thats a real possibility

Someone needs to write a book about the decline and fall of the Capitol Cafeteria.

It used to be amazing.
