@McFaul Damn. You just stepped in it.

Hi everyone!

We see the politicians & conservative media types scaring people w/ terms like 'border crisis,' & causing fright in communities miles away, but our Tías & Abuelas know better; here's the facts:

Man talk about democracy dying in darkness, texas republicans filled a voter suppression bill in the middle of the night and it was already referred to a committee.........but they haven’t posted whats actually in the bill...

[Adam Serwer 🍝 @AdamSerwer]

The context here is that as Texas attorney general, Cornyn gave an award to a crooked cop later exposed by Gupta for framing 38 mostly black Texans for crimes they didn’t commit, and he has not only not forgiven her for it, he thinks he can pretend it never happened.

When I was a public school teacher, I struggled to make ends meet.

My coworkers drove Ubers at night and sold their blood plasma for extra money.

Today I filed a bill mandating a minimum salary of $70,000 for every teacher in Texas. #txlege

@statesman @jamestalarico Was just talking about you today as one of the most promising young politicians in Texas. And here you go and prove me so right! Thank you for recognizing the importance of teachers—and compensating them fairly—to the future success of our state

[YRUMarchingTX? @YRUMarchingTX]

Bravo, @jamestalarico! 🙌🏽

[Austin Statesman @statesman]

A bill filed by state Rep. @jamestalarico, D-Round Rock, would raise the minimum salary for Texas teachers to $70,000. https://t.co/JEdJMU596c

HELEN ETUK, 20, of Texas, died of COVID on Jan. 12, 2021.

An aspiring pediatrician, “That was her drive, to just go ahead & help kids...& of course her biggest goal was to get to the point financially where she [could] help my mom to never work again.”

From the NPC: When the winter storm hit a few weeks ago, many were left without power, without heat & without water in the midst of freezing temperatures. This was true in TX & in other parts of the south, particularly Jackson, Mississippi. https://t.co/SMMAWagpzY 1/4

[Nathan Ryan @nthnryn]

Don’t get distracted by his antics. @KenPaxtonTX just wants you to forget he’s under indictment for securities fraud, and that the FBI is investigating him for using the Texas AG’s office to benefit a political donor. Wear your mask, Texas—to not do so would be plain silly.

[Progress Texas @ProgressTX]

Once again, Ted Cruz is spreading racist fearmongering and lies about Texas immigrants. Texans deserve better. #HumansAgainstTedCruz

Interesting diversion at a time when the Texas Senate Business and Commerce Chairman isn't on board with the presiding officer's big proposal on ERCOT. This state's crisis is with ice, not lack of ICE #TxLege

[YRUMarchingTX? @YRUMarchingTX]

@mr_dsantos His priorities are clear. Whether Texans live or die is not at the top of the list.

[Daniel Santos @mr_dsantos]

Texans are suffering.
Texans are dying.
And Texas’ most incompetent governor is tweeting about alcoholic beverages.

[Adam Isacson @adam_wola]

This is a huge point. Did you know the US expelled more than 13,000 unaccompanied children back to their home countries, unaccompanied, between last March and November, when a judge finally told the Trump administration to stop?

"Instead of giving the money to school districts on top of their expected funding for the year, state education officials used the money to stabilize the state’s budget."https://t.co/TJT2tbzpAw via @TexasTribune #StopTheSwap

[Justin Miller @by_jmiller]

Try to keep up: While under FBI investigation for allegedly using his office to help a donor, @KenPaxtonTX reportedly hired a former neighbor/ice cream executive whose father gave $50k Paxton's legal defense fund for his 2015 securities fraud case. https://t.co/Y1u4o8gP3t
