Harris County has only increased funding for law enforcement since I have been in office. Gov. Abbott’s claims that we’re “defunding” are an outright lie.
Since 2019, the Constables’ budget has gone up 17%. The sheriff’s budget is up 25%. To call that “defunding” is absurd.
I’m no longer a Republican. I’m not a Democrat. And yes, we need more than 2 major political parties. But if you say both parties are equally bad, I say bullshit. Dems are wrong a lot & out of touch, but the GOP is cruel, anti-truth, & anti-democracy. You can’t “both sides” that.
Omg. We are starting to get prettttyyy close to 600k followers 👀
Consider this a *humble* ask for a RT + follow 🙏
It will take a BIG team to defeat Dr. Oz + win this seat
After the obligatory “fuck you Joe,” a former friend asked why I spend so much time going after Republicans but not Democrats. I told him it’s bcuz I consider Republicans to be an actual threat to our democracy. I just think Democrats are wrong about most things. Big difference.
Friends: I am proud to announce my candidacy as for Harris County Commissioner, Precinct 4, in the March 1 Democratic primary. I am deeply honored to start this campaign with the endorsements of @AdrianGarciaHTX and @RodneyEllis. #HarrisCounty#Precinct4

Banning books does not erase the need to learn. It only robs students of the agency to decide and think for themselves.

What if — and stick with me for a minute, because this is a pretty far out concept to some of my Republican colleagues in Washington — what if we built a government that delivered for working class people, and not just corporations and the billionaire class?
Let me be as clear as I can be. The budget reconciliation bill is PAID FOR. How will that happen? We will finally end the days of tax loopholes and evasions by the billionaire class of this country. Yes, they will finally pay their fair share of taxes.
The pharmaceutical industry employs nearly 1,500 lobbyists in Washington, DC alone - including the former congressional leaders in both major political parties. Got that? That’s almost three prescription drug lobbyists for every Member of Congress.
It is no great secret that in America, it is not the United States Congress that regulates the pharmaceutical industry.
It is the pharmaceutical industry that controls the United States Congress.
