If you think this rebellion -
the judicially-endorsed lawfare, the systematic gaming of elections and voter rolls, the subversion of American competitiveness, all of it -
is about Trump you are gravely mistaken.
There is a contingent of people whom I will describe as being on the right who believe that when the scourge of Donald Trump has passed from the scene, we will be back to some semblance of business as usual in American political discourse and process. THIS IS WRONG.
Anyone who thinks this doesn't know how to deal with Bolsheviks. The other side IS Bolshevik, whether they think they are or not.
Not only do they not share your values - including your respect for "procedural" and other "norms" - they DESPISE them.
And many of them are members and even leaders, some of them elected, in the Republican Party.
Do I really have to explain this?
@Nostre_damus My thermostat has wifi capabilities, and I have never, ever connected it. I never plan to. I'm old school, and wifi connected systems and appliances never made much sense to me.
🚨Father of Democrat Governor-Elect Gina Hinojosa once demanded use of executive EMERGENCY POWERS to make Texas elections 100% “VOTE-BY-MAIL!!!”
We must have a special session to limit these unconstitutional powers before the Democrats take over and turn Texas into a SANCTUARY STATE and destroy election integrity!!
(I’ve been pushing for years!)

Texas Republicans are wasting their remaining time in power on self-interest instead of putting legislative safeguards in place to protect the state from the radical leftists poised to take control.
Dan Patrick has already shifted focus to his next career move—spending significant time launching and promoting a personal website—while still serving as Lieutenant Governor.
He is a major reason Texas has flipped blue.
For years he has maintained tight control over the state’s Republicans and consistently prioritized his own ambitions over the public.
LIVE LOOK at TxLege Republicans gearing up for battle in the 9 weeks we have left to limit the damage the Democrats have pledged to enact via executive emergency action on day 1.
😡🤦♂️
TxLege Republicans: Get up! We have a state to save!
@GregAbbott_TX: SPECIAL SESSION NOW!
@RepRobertGarcia $40 trillion doesn't disappear by printing more money and giving out freebies...a $1 no longer buys what a $1 used to buy just 10 years ago.
