BREAKING — Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer VETOES three GOP voter suppression bills.
The bills would have made it HARDER for Michigan residents to vote.
RT IF YOU STAND WITH @GovWhitmer!
The @dallasnews editorial board is right. Protecting the right to vote is a fundamental American value, no matter your politics. The #FreedomToVoteAct is a compromise bill, and if such a reasonable bill can’t get one GOP vote then we must find another way. https://t.co/H8uIkwcXrb
“This opinion reaffirms that Texas law protects public servants who report violations of law by high-level government officials like the Attorney General,” the attorneys said in a statement. “As we have said from the beginning, no one is above the law, not even Ken Paxton.”👏👏👏

Think it's rare that sexual abuse of children results in pregnancy? Seven pregnant 12-year-olds and their caregivers sought help in a recent month at Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center, which handles the county's most serious criminal sexual abuse cases. https://t.co/k7tzp8Hbne
True to form..we’re still here in the TX House working on amendments. It’s been about 13 hours and the TX GOP is going to force the final vote on the gerrymandered TX House redistricting maps. When better to force a final vote impacting the next 10 years than at 1:30 am?🤯
This is another shameful example of our state leaders putting their own power ahead of what's best for Texans.
I'll never stop working to make Texas a state where everyone can be who they are and love who they love without fear of retaliation. https://t.co/xykkx8sbh3
You made it legal to carry a gun without training or a permit. You have no part in this conversation. More and more blood is on your hand with every day that passes @GovAbbott.
It shouldn’t just be up to the Democratic Party to protect our democracy, but that is the situation we are in and we have to deliver the Build Back Better agenda.
Authoritarians love gridlock and the former president is still actively working to undermine our democracy.
.@GovAbbott has gone to great lengths to ensure people didn’t see our ad — we suspect he even used political influence to have the spot pulled from the air.
The ad, on this platform alone, has more than 1M views and continues to spread all across Texas.
In TX everything’s bigger, including TXGOP hypocrisy. 2 weeks after SB8 goes into effect, we’re reminded TX repeatedly violates foster children’s constitutional right to be free from unreasonable risk of harm. Children “often age out of care more damaged than when they entered.”
