This is what Abbott's voucher plan - bought and paid for by his Billionaire buddies - got us. And it's happening all over the state. Vote @GinaHinojosaTX
BREAKING: New reporting has discovered that over the past decade, Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office has offered plea deals to 13 people charged with sexual abuse or human trafficking, allowing them to serve NO JAIL TIME and avoid having to registering as sex offenders.

Houston ISD #HISD says goodbye to Mike Miles.
Governor @GregAbbott_TX is cutting his losses as his numbers slip in the polls to TX State Rep. Gina Hinojosa -- following the intense media coverage of corruption caused by his (Abbott's) state takeover of the largest tax-funded school district in Texas.
In a major twist, it appears Mike Miles will now resign after 3 years as an uncertified superintendent (appointed by Abbott & Mike Morath), and Lucía Morales is scheduled to take over as interim superintendent.
The news leaked earlier than was planned after the independent media platform Context Corner accidentally published the article on multiple sites briefly (before Houston ISD's press release timeline). The article was quickly deleted, but not before we discovered it.
James Talarico: “He said he would give every American $5K if Republicans have both chambers in Congress. They already have both chambers. They have the House and the Senate and the White House so why do we have to wait until after the election? I think people are sick and tired of politicians ignoring this affordability crisis, grandstanding on it instead of actually solving the problem”
.@JamesTalarico: Tarrant County, the largest swing county in the state of Texas, is closing 92 polling locations. They’ve also suspended a million voter registrations in our state.
To anyone in Texas who is watching this — I’m urging you to check your voter registration online and make a plan to vote early.
Yes, this voter suppression is powerful, but it is nothing compared to people power. If we all stand up and make our voices heard, we will win this race.
#TXSen: D candidate James Talarico is up on TV with this spot --
Nick Schatzki voiceover:
"Ken Paxton's corruption endangers our kids. We don't need any more pedophile protectors in Washington"
When I’m governor, I will save Texas schools by firing Mike Morath, wiping clean Greg Abbott’s corrupt vendor contracts, and finally ending the rigged STAAR test.

Paxton’s claim that Talarico supports the Chinese CCP is false. The 140,000 ac of land bought by Chinese billionaire near Del Rio was purchased in 2016 and 2018 before Talarico was in the Legislature but while Ken Paxton was AG. @SethKrasne@jt_ennis
James Talarico: “I wish our government would go after pedophiles the way they go after brown men headed to work at 7am. I wish this government would close billionaire tax loopholes like they’re closing public schools across this nation. I wish this government would fund our healthcare like they fund new forever wars in the Middle East that no one asked for”
@CinchHome@CinchHome ...4 weeks you have refused to get my 76 year old mom a company that will fix her A/C unit without charging her $1000's of dollars! EMS Home services treats her like trash and lies to you and you keep sending them out to her. Her house is 95 degrees. Done with Cinch!
@CinchHome@CinchHome You haven’t done anything You’ve let EMS home services lie to her and lie to y’all. You said her house was fixed.. it is not and it’s August 6, 2026 a month from the day that she filed her original claim ! We will never use Cinch again

Greg Abbott just appointed Huffines, the owner of the Epstein ranch & his party's nominee, to be TX Comptroller.
Why? So YOU pay for Huffines’ campaign. Last year, Abbott signed SB2, that lets the Comptroller spend your tax $$ on self-advertising as an exception to Govt Code Sec. 2113.011, which bans an agency from using “appropriated money to publicize or direct attention to an individual officer or employee of state government.”
I fought against allowing these taxpayer-funded campaign ads, because I saw it for exactly what it was: corruption.
It’s the Greg Abbott Corruption Tax, & we're all paying it.
Gina is right. The state has to wait until all the tests are graded and then determine where the cut scores need to be. This is the identification of the Priority Schools as the bottom 5% . In other words, no matter the overall scores, 5% fail.
