In 2019, an independent commission comprising "distinguished jurists, Ivy League professors, nonprofit leaders, journalists, and theologians" invited @YAppelbaum to brainstorm concepts that might unite divided Americans. He suggested "patriotism"—and this is what happened: https://t.co/KVxW8FhYcF

Remember this when you vote in November.

The Texas Legislature meets for 140 days every other year. This last session, they spent those limited 140 days by debating and passing the following legislation INSTEAD of plans to safeguard the Texas Cattle Industry from devastation.

SB 2 (School Vouchers)
SB 10 (Ten Commandments in Classrooms)
SB 12 (K-12 DEI Ban and restrictions on LGBTQ-related student groups)
SB 11 (School Prayer)
SB 37 (University Governance and Curriculum Oversight)

Their culture war performative non-sense is actively harming Texas.

Vote. Them. All. Out.

The outgoing Texas Ag Commissioner, Sid Miller, has been sounding the alarm on this issue for over a year. Instead of listening and acting, not only did Greg Abbott ignore him, he decided to throw his weight in the primary behind a newcomer with ZERO agriculture experience (but with lots of money).

When their greed and corruption reach our kitchen tables, there is only one thing left to do.

Vote. Them. All. Out.

And for REAL experience and agriculture expertise, vote IN Clayton Tucker for Texas Agriculture Commissioner.

It is going to be a long and devastating summer for Texas ranchers. It didn’t have to be this way. 💔

This is the type of crisis that a Democratic president would be held personally responsible for by the media. Instead it’s getting virtually no national attention despite the issue being directly connected to federal cuts enacted by the Trump administration

Well that's quite a headline

@herandrews @suarezmurias There's nothing stopping hearing people from learning ASL. 🥴

Texas schools are shutting down and teachers are being laid off because Republican leadership hid the ball with their own members about what the school finance bill would do. But please tell me more about who dated who around here.

I wrote about Giant, the Broadway play about Roald Dahl and his anti-Jewish prejudice that refuses to caricature him or efface his many other impressive qualities, and by doing so teaches audiences a valuable, disturbing lesson about the nature of bigotry. Gift link: https://t.co/Nz8Rapcwro

Yes, let's hear more about this from the guy who left his wife and kids for a 25-year-old coworker.

It's funny watching neoconservatives watch in real time as Trump learns that the Obama deal was actually the best possible deal with Iran.

In the end, it was Trump who Californiaed my Texas.

It’s not just that Texas kicked off this round of redistricting, Texas pioneered mid-decade partisan gerrymandering 20 years ago. Tom DeLay, who was GOP Leader at the time, illegally used massive corporate money to take over the State House and push it through. Was convicted!

John Cornyn has been in public office longer than I’ve been alive. 

He’s had 40 years to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and gas.

What’s the hold up?

We're excited to share some unexpected news: we monitored the nest after it was believed the 2nd owlet had died & Athena had abandoned. Later that afternoon the owlet began moving again & we helped coordinate a rescue—owlet is doing better, read more:
