Greg Abbott out here reminding us that women have to *flee the state* if they need an abortion, even if it would save their life. Even if the pregnancy isn't viable.

This bullshit about "woke" is not the distraction they think it is.

[Governor Hot Wheels @GovHotWheels_TX]

Are you a pregnant woman?

Not according to James Talarico!

@jamestalarico filed a bill redefining a pregnant woman as a "pregnant individual."

Talarico's politics are great for states like California and New York, but that boot doesn't fit in Texas.

[ProPublica @propublica]

New: No state has taken over as many public school districts as Texas. Since 2020, the Texas Education Agency has installed its own hand-picked leaders in eight districts. Four of those came just this spring. At least another 10 are at risk of takeover. https://t.co/BqytEicsm6

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

Chattter out of Gov Abbott's office is he will appoint former Rep. @NateSchatzline to succeed Secretary of State Nelson. We'll see #TxLege

[Roxanne Werner @thisisroxanne]

Normal people who do not live on the internet aren’t even going to get what Low T Talarico means, but they know the Republican party has been in charge of this state for decades and gas is $4+ a gallon, wages are low, our public schools are failing and healthcare is in shambles.

[Asher Lehrer-Small @small_asher]

After Uvalde, Texas undertook an ambitious effort to station a police officer at every school.

Since then, students have been tackled, pepper sprayed and Tasered. Many episodes began over minor infractions like breaking dress code or vaping.

Wow today is the three year anniversary of Ken Paxton getting impeached.

He might not be able to celebrate his wedding anniversary but maybe he’s taking himself out to a nice dinner tonight.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Texas Democratic Rep. Christian Menefee defeated longtime Democratic Rep. Al Green in a primary Tuesday after the two faced off because Texas Republicans redrew the state’s congressional map. Menefee tells @MajorCBS he believes Democrats will “take the House back in November.”

[Rilwan Balogun @KPRC2Rilwan]

In his victory speech, Congressman Christian Menefee gives Congressman Al Green his flowers, saying, "Congressman Green's legacy will outlive any election."

[Roxanne Werner @thisisroxanne]

Very good news for Fort Bend County.

Dexter McCoy Wins Nomination for Fort Bend County Judge https://t.co/gscY7XpTs0

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.

He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud.

He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.

He was impeached by his own party for corruption.

Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas.

Together we will stop him.

Is he trying to tell us that $4.09* is a good price??

*$3.99 is the price with the chevron card, not sure what the Senator uses to pay for his gas

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

Just filled my tank. In Texas, gas is $3.99 a gallon.

Hey Gavin—the problem isn’t Chevron, it’s California’s stupid energy policies….

Today’s the last day of early voting in the primary runoff election! There’s no voting this weekend.

Polls are open til 7 PM, let’s get this done.

[Roxanne Werner @thisisroxanne]

My suspicion would also be that spending on clothes too, and you could argue some stuff is more expensive. But it’s an expectation that you have a new outfit for everything you do, so maybe everything is more expensive but maybe we’re a lot more into spending as a hobby.

[Roxanne Werner @thisisroxanne]

Idk why it’s so hard for us to say the younger generations are spending more on things we would have previously considered either frivolous or a luxury. It’s whatever stage of capitalism we’re in.

[Allie ✞ @allie__voss]

The younger and poorer the generation, the more they eat out and DoorDash

This is part of the problem
