As the daughter of the cop who arrested the school shooter at Santa Fe high school, I can absolutely say arming teachers is not the answer.

Grateful to attend the LULAC Convention and speak with leaders committed to protecting Texans’ rights and freedoms.

As AG, I look forward to moving Texas forward together.

Well, for once, Twitter has done something rather amazing.

We haven’t sold 100 ties in 24 hours…

We have actually sold 1000 TIES in LESS THAN 24 hours, raising over £10,000 for the British Hedgehog Preservation Society!

Thank you all, sincerely. I am shocked.

Markwayne Mullin had the FDA delete warnings about the dangers of kratom, an addictive and sometimes lethal drug found in gas stations.

Mullin holds an up to $1 million stake in a major kratom company.

RFK Jr: Kids with autism will never hold a job. They'll never play baseball. They'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date.

I cannot believe this has all happened from one tweet but, by some miracle and some hard work over the past 24 hours, Hedgehog Ties will be available for purchase once again!

After quite a few emails and telephone calls to the wonderful staff of the British Hedgehog Preservation Society and of Ryder and Amies in Cambridge, I've organised a new production of a Navy Silk Hedgehog Tie, the first in over thirty years!

Ties will cost £45 each with £10 of that £45 going directly towards the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (I do not receive a single penny from the sale of these ties, £35 is purely the cost of production + materials per tie)

Pre-orders will be open for two weeks and, afterwards, the ties will go to production! They should take approx. 10 weeks to be completed.

To pre-order your tie, follow this link: https://t.co/TG1wqL2xNI

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.

This is no longer about money. It’s about power. Decades of weak government oversight have promoted outrageous concentration of wealth and the corrupt power it commands.

We have laws to protect us from the threats these distortions create. When I'm Attorney General, they’ll be enforced.

Might actually be my favorite Disney movie, it’s absolute peak. Disney could have had a chokehold on young boys if they continued with stuff like this and Treasure Planet alongside their princess movies

@FreddyLA7 I’m sure you didn’t get time, BUT downtown Houston has a full tunnel system — filled w shops, restaurants, and rec areas

If you’re going to Galv, try and book a ghost tour and definitely visit The Strand. I grew up getting salt water taffy from the candy and soda shop there :)

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

It’s funny, motocross at the White House is, like, fine with me. But here’s an example of something that is genuinely unforgivable but that a lot of people seem to have moved right past.

[Adam Schwager @schwagerTV]

Next proposed Texas Republican Party platform amendment — striking a part that asks for the legislature to repeal laws that protect the mother from legal liability in abortion cases

Argument: providers should be held responsible, not women #txlege

[Nathan Johnson @NathanForTexas]

Tired political narratives, contrived to sow anger and drive division — they’re wearing thin.

Texans don’t have the luxury of indulging in culture wars when they’re worried about keeping their jobs and putting food on the table.

Can we stop wasting time and energy and brain power on fake problems and get to work solving the real ones?

[Cynthia Van Maanen @cynthiavanm]

The Democratic nominee for AG in Texas is the guy who composed the Dagon Ball Z theme song btw

[End Citizens United @StopBigMoney]

While Greg Abbott does the bidding of his special interest donors, @GinaHinojosaTX answers to working Texans and is proving her commitment to them by refusing corporate PAC money.

We're proud to endorse Gina and look forward to helping her win.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

We just dropped our World Cup ad.

WATCH:

[Nathan Johnson @NathanForTexas]

A new poll has the Texas AG race within 3 percentage points.

When we look deeper at the numbers — I win.

We need to stop asking whether a Democrat can win and start asking how big the margin will be.

[Austin Watershed Protection @AustinWatershed]

⚠️ Before you or your pets get near Austin’s lakes & creeks, check the water first.

We have recently observed blue-green algae in different parts of Lady Bird Lake & Lake Austin. As temperatures rise through summer, we expect to see more algae growing in our waterways.

I mean clearly this is what they should’ve done instead of a live action remake.

[Nathan Johnson @NathanForTexas]

Mayes Middleton thinks he can buy the Attorney General’s office, just like he bought the Republican AG nomination.

I think Texans see right through it.

There’s serious work to be done. And I’m ready to do it.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico:

“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas. 

And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now. 

We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”
