Yet, @BriscoeCain and Texas Republicans are using the government to restrict rights.
Not just voting rights either — women’s rights, trans rights, etc. #txlege
Learn from the example of John Lewis. In the struggle to ensure the right to vote and protect our democracy, now is not the time to be timid or to be unrealistic. Now is the time for courage and action.
So let me get this straight: AT&T claims to support voting rights, but also donated $100K to Greg Abbott the same day he called for a special session to pass voter suppression laws?
@Shelinsealbeach@SpeakerPelosi Restrictions would ban drive thru voting making it harder for mobility impaired. Would also ban overnight voting favored by folks of color. Even mail in voting would be curtailed actually favored by conservative voters. Senseless. All based on tRump’s false claims of voter fraud.
Thank you Vice President Harris. Racism is alive and well in Texas as evidenced by @GregAbbott_TX and TX GOP efforts to curtail voting access in a state with the most restrictive voting laws in the U.S. Glad my state senator @NathanForTexas is in DC.
Texas lawmakers are fighting for the rights of all Texans—and all Americans—to raise their voice through their vote.
Today, we met for the second time to discuss the path forward.
Texas House Speaker offers Democrats free plane ride home to return to state https://t.co/7U3KUyHo35 via @TexasTribune Thank you, State Senator @NathanForTexas
@wfaa Pretty one-sided coverage of Austin Voting Rights Rally. If you have Cornyn you could at least give equal time to Democratic elected official (Royce West attended). I appreciate including clergy but elected official FOR voting rights was missing.
Over 85 Texas counties have no hospital & rural communities are disproportionately impacted. Texas has the highest rate of rural hospital closures with 24 rural hospitals closing since 2005. No Texan should have to drive hours to access care. #txlege https://t.co/Nx3ewVumGT
@TurnerForTX Thank you Rep Turner for voting for Rep Coleman's budget Amdmt #54 to expand healthcare coverage. You are supporting the will of the people! Gov @GregAbbott_TX Lt Gov @DanPatrick and Spkr @DadePhelan Shame! Federal $$$ left on the table. Texans left w/o healthcare.
@DWUhlfelderLaw 1. tRump is a welcher. Employees demand your wages in cash. NOW! 2. Think the pillow guy can help you now, Dumbass? 3. You ain't no JFK. Hell you ain't even a Herbert Hoover. 4. Go back to Queens! See if they want you.
