A half million retired teachers in Texas are unable to retire on the TRS benefits Greg Abbott refuses to raise with no COLA raises EVER. Benefits for retired teachers in Texas went from the top 20 retirement benefits under Ann Richards to the bottom five in the country.
Teacher shouldn't have to worry how they will eat after 30 years of service when they retire so that rich families can have their private school tuition paid for in vouchers.
According to the Texas American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the average retired teacher’s monthly annuity is UNDER $2,200, with some retirees earning as little as $1,500. The Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA) says 70% of retired school employees have never received a COLA since retiring, and some have been without increases for over 20 years.
40% of the retired teachers qualify for food stamps.
It's past time for a change.
Talk about backfiring!
Abdul El-Sayed raised over $2.4 MILLION dollars yesterday after traitor Haley Stevens endorsed Mike Rogers.
I stand with Abdul El-Sayed! Do you? ✋
This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.
He was indicted on 3 felony counts for fraud.
He enriched himself by $27 million in public office.
He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.
He was impeached by his own party for corruption.
Tomorrow, we will stop him.
Republicans have brought us:
- the highest inflation in many years
- increased disease
- a badly weakened educational system
- violent ICE officers attacking citizens
- increased corporate profits enriching the rich
- unaffordable health care insurance
Since Trump and MAGA promote the complete LIE that Jane goes to school in the morning and comes home in the afternoon as Jimmy, then they are responsible for it! ✅
Really Dan?
@VikkiGoodwinTX a communist?
To Dan, supporting #txed — which the TX Constitution requires—is communist.
@DanPatrick is losing his mind.
Because he’s losing this election.
On the day a sitting president landed in Lubbock, Texas, for the first time in 34 years, people waited for hours in lines stretching for blocks in this reliably red city. But the crowd wasn't waiting for President Trump. They were waiting for Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico. https://t.co/4iUjzwTl8L
BREAKING: Texas Republicans announce they will “Pass on Paxton”:
“I truly believe that he is the most corrupt politician Texas has ever seen.”
“To send Ken Paxton to the United States Senate is adding another gator to the swamp.”
“James Talarico is by far — without a doubt — the best person in the race for the US Senate.”
Dan Patrick is one of the Republicans that is keeping Texas in the dark ages. I voted for Vikki Goodwin in ear;y voting and I ask you to vote for her too. Thanks
Dan Patrick accused his opponent of being a Socialist, Communist and Marxist. His opponent, Vikki Goodwin, is not any of those pejoratives. Goodwin is a four-term member of the Texas House. She is the polar opposite of Dan Patrick. She listens before she speaks and she is not a bully. She is respectful of opposing viewpoints. She is a champion for strengthening public schools.
Talarico: "Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. We just found out that the richest man in the world is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the Senate and defeat the movement that we are building. In all likelihood, if you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."
