I’m running for re-election to fight back against the Trump and Abbott agenda that is robbing working class Texans of their voice and power.

Right now, they’re undertaking a mid-decade redistricting scam to stack the deck in Trump’s favor. Help me fight back now: https://t.co/YjBoL2EzTW

Greg Abbott’s handpicked TEA commissioner just cut all after school programs for hundreds of Uvalde ISD students.

They don’t give a shit about our kids, let alone us. #txlege

[Texas Senate Democratic Caucus @txsenatedem]

Our members listened to the hundreds of Texans who testified at the committee hearings this week, and several things are clear: Our constituents are fed up with corporate greed, rising costs and a lack of transparency.

We'll continue to lead on issues to lower costs, strengthen our grid, improve local control and give communities a voice in the matters that affect their quality of life. We look forward to addressing these issues. #txlege

[Texas Senate Democratic Caucus @txsenatedem]

The recent exponential growth in data centers has us all concerned about heavy water drain, spiking power bills & billions in public tax breaks. TX Senate Democrats pressed for answers to these questions in the Finance Committee this week. #txlege

Uvalde is struggling to pick up the pieces after this month’s devastating floods. Meanwhile, Greg Abbott is twiddling his thumbs and sitting on a $27 billion rainy day fund. #txlege

[Senator Roland Gutierrez @RolandForTexas]

If you or someone you know has been affected by this month’s floods, help is available now. #texas #texasflood

[Will Leverett @312Will]

From the Pedernales River Bridge on 71. This has been dry as a bone recently, and still hasn't received the upstream flooding in Blanco and Gillespie County. Catastrophic flooding today across the western Texas Hill Country, be safe friends. #txwx #ewxspotter

HW 90 at Knippa impassable on our way to the Guadalupe. Back to Uvalde. It’s about impossible to enter or leave the Uvalde area at the moment

[Senator Roland Gutierrez @RolandForTexas]

Stay safe and alert Texas! There’s lots more rain on the way.

Check Drive Texas and your local pages for the latest road conditions. When in doubt, turn around don’t drown. https://t.co/0uvIaw0TTZ

ICE must stop murdering innocent, law-abiding people NOW.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

The victim that was shot and killed by ICE in Maine has been identified as Joan Sebastian Guerrero.

Guerrero had a 3-year-old daughter, was authorized to work in the US, was given a Social Security number, and was not the target of ICE's immigration action.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

This is looking worse and worse. The victim's brother said that ICE agent approached from the passenger side of the car, stuck his hand in through the window, and opened fire.

He says that ICE officers kept shooting even as the car had come to a stop and was put into park.

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed in Houston by federal officers on July 7th. He was a father and a hard-working man who lived and worked in Texas for more than 35 years.

His family deserves answers. Texans deserve answers. And we're going to fight to get them.

[Senator Roland Gutierrez @RolandForTexas]

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should still be alive today, but Trump’s reckless ICE thugs killed him in cold blood.

[SCOTUSblog @SCOTUSblog]

The court strikes down President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship, holding that children born in the U.S. to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. and are citizens at birth.

Mexican man dies in ICE custody in Laredo, at least the 20th fatality this year. It marks at least the fifth death in Texas ICE this year, a quarter of the nationwide total, as the fatalities have skyrocketed to a record pace unseen in decades.

On this day in 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas finally learned of their freedom from slavery, nearly three years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

#Juneteenth is a day we remember the struggle for freedom and celebrate the resilience of that struggle.

“A trainee in his sixth week of basic training died after falling ill on Friday and being taken to Brooke Army Medical Center”

[Texas Division of Emergency Management @TDEM]

The Texas State Emergency Operations Center is running 24-hours to support local storm response and enhance coordination across state agencies.

Texans should monitor local forecasts as threats of heavy rainfall and flash flooding are expected to continue over the coming days.☔️

[FactPost @factpostnews]

The company that provided the elephant for the Texas GOP convention has decades of animal abuse charges for beating elephants with clubs.

[Texas Division of Emergency Management @TDEM]

State emergency response resources have actively assisted local officials overnight in response to storms and flooding.

Heavy rainfall and flash flood threats continue. If you encounter water on roadways do not attempt to drive or walk through.
