I have been preparing for a really important upcoming event this year for a while.
Many of us know it's coming Tuesday, and I am ready.
Yes... I will make 140 memes for all 140 days of the #txlege legislative session.
It's not going to be easy, but it has to be done
I’m deeply honored to be entrusted by my friend to play a role in this historic moment. Her vision of respect & bipartisanship, and her love for the institution have always been guiding forces for me during my public service. I’m proud I can support her as she becomes Speaker.
New: @Senfronia4Texas names her transition team, which includes six former speakers.
Ben Barnes, Gib Lewis, Pete Laney, Joe Straus, Dennis Bonnen, and Dade Phelan. #txlege
James Talarico, a Democrat, is quoting Scripture in his victory speech, and the crowd is cheering.
Democrats don’t hate religion. We hate watching people weaponize it.
Faith isn't the problem. Using God as a weapon against your neighbors is.
Here is my general thoughts from last night. Republicans are tired holding power and doing nothing with it. They are tired of the party and the state it has been in for decades. With Trump coming into office for many people felt like it was our last chance at real change. What they got was a lot of the same Bush era policy. Many have simply thrown up their hands and said I'm done with these politicians.
What now? Well, a lesson needs to be learned and if the GOP wants to hold power from here on we have to remake the party as one that is serious about passing policy people want. They don't want war and they don't want $4 gas and they want to afford their home.
Until the GOP convinces people that we hear them and change direction we will get much of the same. Take your licks and get serious about the next two years, Texas as we know it depends on it.
Happy Reformation Day!
The result: The retrieval of the Gospel, massive revival, hundreds of historic hymns, the actual reform of the Catholic Church, and yes, the United States of America, the greatest (Protestant) nation to ever exist!
