BREAKING: New polling shows James Talarico leading Ken Paxton by 3 points. Talarico also has a 27 point advantage when it comes to favorability. Let's go win this thing!
No, Mr. President. The 2020 election that you lost was not "rigged" or "dirty," handing out $1.776 billion to violent insurrectionists is not a "good idea" & reporters who ask questions about your bogus claims are not "crooked."
You are a president, not a dictator. Act like it.
There is something happening in Texas.
We are uniting Texans on one team to take back our state and take back our country.
We will end 30 years of one party rule in this state and elect a Senator who is going to serve the people, not billionaire mega-donors.
A federal judge just ordered Trump’s name removed from the Kennedy Center because it honors JFK, not Donald Trump.
America deserves a president, not a narcissist-in-chief who treats public office as a vehicle for self-promotion and personal enrichment.
Limiting school suspensions is not the answer.
When people argue that suspensions “don’t help the student who misbehaves,” they often forget about the students who are there to learn.
Negative behavior impacts the entire class, not just the one student causing the disruption.
One of the toughest jobs in education is being a principal.
Every day, principals are balancing mandates, district expectations, meetings, parent concerns, student needs, staffing issues, budgets, discipline, testing pressures, and a thousand other responsibilities most people never see.
And somehow in the middle of all that, the best principals still find ways to encourage their teachers.
They show up in classrooms. They check on people. They celebrate small wins. They protect staff when they can. They try to keep morale up even when they’re exhausted themselves.
Great principals live in the tension between leading systems and leading people.
And the ones who never lose sight of their staff in the middle of all the pressure deserve more appreciation than they often receive.
To the principals who continue fighting for kids while also trying to support, encourage, value, and appreciate their teachers:
Thank you.
Your staff may not always see everything you do behind the scenes, but your presence, support, and leadership matter more than you know.
Education is still a people business. And great principals never forget that. @NAESP@NASSP
For anyone out there who TRULY believes that #Teachers are just glorified babysitters... I challenge you to come sit in on a classroom, & see the amount of EXTRA stuff that happens... From counseling, encouraging, motivating, instructing, inspiring, etc that happens EACH DAY! 👨🏫
BREAKING: James Talarico just hit the nail on the head. Republicans are terrified of him because he’s going to expose and root out their corruption. This is amazing.
Texans are ready for a governor who fights for quality health care, combats rising costs, and strengthens public education.
Congratulations, @GinaHinojosaTX, on becoming the Democratic nominee for governor!
Why do I love being around teachers?
They are affirmational by nature. They look for good. They look for effort. They speak belief into kids who may not hear it anywhere else.
They put others first. Every day.
And let’s be honest… they’re human too.
They have things going on at home. Stress. Bills. Family stuff. Doubt. Just like everyone else. Some days they are weighted down by life, but still choose to lift someone else.
And they don’t just do it for your child.
They do it for 30 other children in the same room.
Thirty different personalities.
Thirty different needs.
Thirty different stories.
They encourage all of them.
They care about all of them.
They help each of them become their best.
And many of them rarely hear that same affirmation back.
So, that’s why I love spending time with teachers. They inspire me more than I inspire them.
Teachers don’t just impact classrooms. They impact the world.
