@Jim_Jordan No, we think that catering to the whims of a group of parents with no thought to educational best practices or how it will affect marginalized groups is a bad idea.

If you agree with the book ban his reasoning is spot on. It would be funnier if the book ban wasn’t so awful.

[Concerned Parent in North Texas @ZachRunsThings]

Concerned parent in North Texas concerned Keller ISD book ban doesn’t go far enough.

Up for vote next month: arming teachers.

[Mary Vermette @MaryVermette]

Keller ISD Board forces their narrow minded view of Christianity on our community and in the process stomps on both freedom of religion and the rights of LBGTQ children and their families. https://t.co/WDPAGYVnvj

@Octopiinthesky @t_steinwald @chrislhayes He could’ve contacted the appropriate officials & worked to get info out to those who lost power. Our little city government was trying, but could get few answers. He would have been in a much better position to demand information.

THREAD: CROWD SIZE: Okay look. For years now, Donald and the GOP have been lying about crowd size. They’ve been lying about how many people call them and tell them they love them. They’ve been lying about the size of their fan base. There’s a reason for this. 1/

You know we've lost our way when it's legal for armed, masked men to threaten people trying to vote but it's illegal to give voters a drink of water.

Groups right here in Tarrant County are hard at work sowing doubt in our free and fair elections. So disturbing.

[Tarrant County Elections @tarrantelection]

Some voters are receiving a letter like the one shown in the picture. Three (3) things you should know (thread below):

[Mary Vermette @MaryVermette]

Yea! Hope they can limit other junk fees soon.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Under the Biden-Harris Administration, surprise overdraft fees and bounced check victim fees are now illegal.

Here's where you may experience these junk fees:

Does anyone actually believe that a democrat could ever make Gateway Church’s list of people who attend their “family of churches”?

[Chris Tackett (aka See It Name It Fight It) @cjtackett]

Gateway Church in Southlake, TX on Sunday, showing us all what politics from the pulpit looks like. Note how Robert Morris is very careful in his words.
“We don’t endorse”
“Get out your phone”
“Christians sat on the sidelines for too long”

@LukeWarfordTX I didn’t vote today, but I did poll greeting in the rain. It was amazing to see all the support in our red suburban area

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

If you're reading this, tell 3 friends that their utility bills are higher because the Texas Railroad Commission sold consumers out to billionaire pipeline executives.

@BetoORourke Didn’t fix the grid even after numerous warnings that it was in danger of failing.

[Mary Vermette @MaryVermette]

Please vote to protect the grid. The current commissioner does not even try to hide that he is bought and paid for by the very people who benefitted from his incompetence.

[Luke Warford 🚂 @LukeWarfordTX]

If you're reading this, tell 3 friends from high school that the Texas Railroad Commission regulates Texas oil and gas — not trains — and could have prevented last February's grid failure!

[Mary Vermette @MaryVermette]

An important thread.

[Sean Casten @SeanCasten]

OPEC's slash in oil production this week should be called out for what it is: an attempt to enhance Russia's ability to wage an illegal war against Ukraine, and an attempt to meddle in US politics. It is time for us to reconsider our military support for the region. Thread:

[Mary Vermette @MaryVermette]

@RpsAgainstTrump And they believed it!

[Mary Vermette @MaryVermette]

Paxton’s office failed to mention to the judge who quashed the subpoena he fled from how many times they tried to serve him. More evidence of how Paxton is unfit for office. https://t.co/vH2C4l7hTH

[Mary Vermette @MaryVermette]

The incompetence of Paxton’s office should be more of a story in TX than it is. https://t.co/zfLr6Xpzbo
