Robert Howden, Abbott aide, to succeed Jane Nelson as Texas’ top election official

Howden’s appointment follows weeks of speculation over who would take over running Texas’ elections before the November midterms.

Two more servicemembers have died because of Trump's illegal and unconstitutional war.

My heart is with their families, and I'm praying for the safe return of the servicemember still missing.

Congress passed a War Powers Resolution to end this. When is enough going to be enough?

What’s happening in the South and to Black voters needs to be all of our business.

[Shea Jordan Smith @sheajordansmith]

My favorite moment from today’s town hall was when James Talarico called out so-called “supporters” like @KeithEdwards, @rogueDNC, and @DavidPiperVO, telling them to stop harassing Black political voices online.

He specifically mentioned the work that Jasmine Crockett has been doing and reminded everyone that our focus should be on what actually matters: defeating Ken Paxton.

The Texas Attorney General should fight for the people of Texas, not the rich and powerful like Mayes Middleton.

[Senator Molly Cook @MollyforTexas]

Secretary of State Jane Nelson announced that she would be resigning from her role - effective July 17. This is a concerning situation given that the Secretary of State oversees every election in Texas, and we are months away from the midterm elections.

I lowkey love this because now the Texas Democratic Party is stuck between a rock and a hard place. A dilemma of their own creation.

Because if we’re being honest, the only Black woman who should be headlining this convention is…

[Angel Carroll @iangelcarroll]

If Black women are the backbone of the Democratic Party, why does the headline lineup for the Texas State Convention make us feel like an afterthought?

We’re 20 days out and coming out of a primary where the isms and micro/macro aggressions were LOUD.

Today the Supreme Court upheld Texas Republicans’ Congressional map designed to dilute the voting power of black and brown Texans. Our efforts to organize, turn out, and win anyway will not be deterred.

[Texas Democratic Party @texasdemocrats]

Greg Abbott claims to “back the blue”, but threatens to defund public safety if Austin, Dallas, and Houston don’t fall in line with his immigration agenda. At the same time, his voucher scheme is pulling taxpayer dollars from public schools.

Holding public safety and education funding hostage for politics is an abuse of power, and Texans deserve better.

Texas voting history tells a story.

The right to vote was granted.
Then restricted.
Then challenged.
Then defended — case by case.

Know the history. Protect the vote. 🗳️
