Wow. More battlefield than learning environment.

Campus Guardian Angel hopes its drones, if dispatched at the right time, could stop a school shooting before it starts.

Two Texas school districts, Boerne ISD and Spring Branch ISD, have indicated that they plan to install the drones but are waiting for funds to purchase the system. https://t.co/yUrymGNSNH

Well, what do you know?
*76%* of Texas school voucher applications come from families whose children are not enrolled in public schools. Less than 1% of public and charter school families have applied for vouchers.

It's straight up welfare for the wealthy #txlege

@Jeep @StellantisNA since yall have no clear solution to the 4XE engine issue in my 24 Grand Cherokee lease, I cannot, in good conscience send my daughter across the state to college in a vehicle that could grenade the engine on the interstate. Let’s talk buyout of lease.

@Jeep since y’all have no remedy for the 4XE engine issue in my 24 Grand Cherokee lease, I can’t, in good conscience, send my daughter across the state to college in a vehicle that might grenade its engine on the interstate. Let’s start the process of buy back.

With the #TXLege Special Session dead, the Governor can provide direct relief to Central Texas flood victims & communities.

With the stroke of a pen —through budget execution — which is a simple letter.

Like, right now…

@Budget , you cool with this in Orlando (MCO)? All these empty terminals, two people working on a Saturday afternoon during peak tourism season? Wait time in line is averaging 1 and a half hours right now.

New: The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that Gov. Greg Abbott and AG Ken Paxton do not have to release years of emails related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and communications with gun lobbyists after the 2022 Uvalde shooting. https://t.co/RAXHNC0IJX

I’ll take Blue Bell and HEB any day. I’ll definitely take HEB’s disaster response team over Texas’ response any time..

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

I've now lived long enough to see legendary Texas employers including @ILoveBlueBell and @HEB treated as adversaries by Republicans in the Legislature #TxLege

[Brett Cross @BCross052422]

This isn’t a moment of silence.
It’s a challenge.
77 seconds. No talking. No music.
Post it. Tag 3.

Narrator: in the end, public school would be screwed once again.

[Texas House Democrats @TexasHDC]

HELD HOSTAGE FOR 22 DAYS: Texas schools are still waiting for almost $8 billion while @DanPatrick refuses to advance HB 2 in the Senate.

Our children's education shouldn't be used as a bargaining chip.

And that’s why public ed is getting screwed over. People afraid to speak up because of “political” retribution.

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

School leaders have privately criticized a bill that would make it harder to contest their performance ratings in court.

But they did not testify against it to avoid lawmakers’ ire. https://t.co/ByhCUVHHjd

[Josh Overfelt @jdoverfelt]

Then he damn well better tell the legislature to fully fund public schools..

Narrator: “he wouldn’t..”

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

Gov. Greg Abbott praised President Donald Trump’s efforts to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education on Thursday, waving away concerns that the move would create uncertainty for funding and civil rights protections in public education. https://t.co/LrquT7EsSZ

“This is a poison in our public, and we as a Legislature — our No. 1 responsibility is life and death issues,” Patrick said

I get that, but when it comes to kids getting gunned down in schools…silence…. How is that not a No. 1 responsibility?

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

The Texas Senate has passed a state ban on all forms of THC, advancing a priority of Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick who says the measure will shut down the dangerous THC products business.
