FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot. That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

Harris County, TX voters are confused, with redistricting can they still vote in the special election on Nov.4? "if you've always been in Congressional District 18 & you've registered & been in that district, you will still be in that district for this November, and any potential runoff”

Years of SNAP funding exist RIGHT NOW, paid for by our taxes. Federal language protected SNAP even during shutdowns – Trump’s admin DELETED it to hide the fact they’re using hunger as a political weapon by choice. - Mallory McMorrow, Candidate for US Senate

Abbott calls the issue “ embarrassing.” What’s really embarrassing is having Republicans all over the country doing the bidding of a Turnip. Abbott could end it right now. What could happen in the states entering redistricting fights? From @npr ⬇️ www.npr.org/2025/08/14/n...

The fight is on. How redistricting could unfold in 8 entangled states
State leaders in both parties say they're ready to redraw political lines ahead of 2026, but state laws and constitutions make mid-decade redistricting virtually impossible in many places.

Just remember the FACTS about #SocialSecurity It’s our money ~ NOT the #Republicans #SheShed
Social Security Fun Facts
• Social Security and Medicare are paid for with a separate tax. They add nothing to the national debt.
• Social Security has a $2.5 trillion surplus.
• Congress has "borrowed" trillions from Social Security to pay for government spending.
So when Republicans say we need to cut Social Security in order to balance the Federal Budget, here's what they really mean:
"We've taken trillions from Social Security to pay for unfunded wars, tax cuts for the rich and corporate subsidies. We need to cut your benefits so we won't have to pay it back."
