Thanks to @RepWalle & @RepToniRoseTX, the Legislature approved a summer EBT program to feed millions of Texas kids. Despite federal funding, Abbott vetoed it. Thanks to @MasterChefTD for using her voice to push Texas to do more for hungry kids. Learn more: https://t.co/ihCPZCFdj8
Texas House Democrats bravely blocked Greg Abbott from gerrymandering the congressional map during the special session that ended today.
Thank you @TexasHDC for your leadership in standing up to Republican extremists in defense of fair midterm elections.
Our struggle continues!
I am so proud of the @TexasHDC and the work that they’ve done. Their willingness to put themselves on the line to highlight the current assault on our democracy has set an example for what all of us have to do.
“Summer EBT is about protecting children and their basic rights to food. Achieving bipartisan support for this program was a monumental step (...) and I am deeply disappointed that this progress was reversed.” @RepToniRoseTX

We are deeply grateful to legislative champions @RepWalle and @RepToniRoseTX who worked tirelessly to ensure Summer EBT made it into the Texas state budget🧡
THREAD: Low-turnout local elections cost taxpayers more and engage fewer voters.
Working with @SenRoyceWest and House authors Rep. @RafaelAnchia and @RepToniRoseTX, we passed SB 1494 to fix that — allowing cities to align elections. (1/3)
Today is #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay & we're pleased to launch a podcast featuring legislators @5boymom, @RepToniRoseTX & @dafna_m. We're also thrilled experts with @MassPPDFund & The Wilderman Fund were a part of this discussion as well! Listen here: https://t.co/bxf2Po5ANu
Next week Texas House members will approve the rules. Republicans like @JaredLPatterson believes Democrats will no longer hold chair positions. On the other side Democrats like @RepToniRoseTX are hoping to still have a voice. #txlege@FOX4

Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us.
BREAKING: The Kamala Harris campaign just released their first ad. Retweet to make sure every American knows who Kamala Harris is and what is at stake this November.
“All Texas Moms, no matter their race, income, or zip code, deserve to experience a healthy pregnancy and birth.
And we know that when they do, our entire community benefits.”
