When attention is sufficiently diverted, out comes the next Epstein files. This afternoon and tomorrow will be a flurry of ridiculous.

And Stephen Colbert…and Jon Stewart…and Seth Meyers…and every American who stands against tyranny. Our forefathers gave their lives for democracy and for our freedom. We must honor the sacrifices of generations of our heroes!

As a former Texas Legislator, I can assure you, these paychecks are of little consequence.

I grew up in a Gold Star Family, raised by a father who was a Silver Star hero in WWII. Every single one of the heroes in my family would be devastated over what our governments are perpetrating in American streets. Don’t hide from this…rise up, speak out…vote them out!

Truth telling right here. Add to this, we have the most unserious government in the history of America (and Texas). We must recruit the best candidates at every level and support them to the winner’s circle with $s and grassroots campaigning…we must!

This is what happens when leadership focuses the lion’s share of legislative time to pointless culture wars. Time for Texas to focus on people over politics!

Complete abuse of power. Senator Padilla is a fine, decent man who embodies all the qualities you look for in a great leader. He is warm and welcoming, kind and gracious. I wish he were my U.S. Senator. This despicable, disgraceful assault on him is disturbing and un-American!

My own first pregnancy ended in a similar way and I needed an immediate D & C. Today, Texas legislators would jeopardize my life over the most necessary of procedures. I so worry for my granddaughters if they stay.

Marc Elias, want to see how they really disenfranchise voters of color, take a look at the gerrymander of my Senate District 10 in 2021 redistricting. Took away all the minority power at the ballot box by cracking and packing them in heavily white areas. Happens in Texas over and over, every level.

Joe Biden will one day be understood as the greatest president ever to have served this once great country. He saved millions of lives, reversed the economic devastation of the 1st Trump debacle, and he created the strongest economy in the world. Trump’s 1st 100 days already destroyed it!

My dad would have been 100 this year, a WWII Battle of the Bulge Silver Star hero, so proud of his service to defeat fascism. He would have loved this #teslatakedown. I love it for him! Americans, we must keep fighting for our democracy!

A few years ago, our Texas Democratic Legislative delegation sat around a conference table with VP Harris taking about voter suppression. Not one legislator felt compelled to any utterance of malignantly sycophantic rhetoric. Trump’s ego (and economic strategy) must be fragile as a house of straw!

America should treat Fox Propaganda Stations like they do Tesla. Every major city has one, and they are easy to locate! Fox is a carbuncle on the ass of America.

Perhaps Trump should have “learned a little more” through due process before he deported 200+ men to a Salvadoran concentration camp!

If you doubt your boycott of Amazon is making an impact, just take a look at the new TV/Cable ad. Major whining about how Amazon just reps product for small American businesses. Perhaps Bezos should have thought about that before he supported Fascism with their small business $ millions.

The way out of this nightmare, hard as it will be, is by holding our legislators accountable. We create a movement like today’s marches that ousts Trump supporters and we collectively call them on their bs every day, day after day until it’s over!

The Texas Oligarchy has emboldened the leadership of Texas with overwhelming amounts of dark money right out in the open. The young student who testified is right on the facts. These bills are about having it their way…oppression, hate and discrimination!

This is not an isolated case. Childbearing age women in Texas face the possibility of tragic consequences of the Texas abortion laws every single day.

I don’t believe media pundits are this stupid. Stop framing any of this as normal, insignificant or acceptable. Stop reporting even the suggestion that there has been the tiniest bit of transparency. If you are using Trump or Musk names more often than you did Biden or Harris…why! Media matters!

Heartbreaking consequences of this administration. No question this oppression of women and children is intentional.

On this day, we can use a story of hope! Courageously conscientious foundations, corporations and citizens came together to build a new Legacy Elementary for children in Uvalde, Texas. Heroes coming together to stand in the gap for kids. Moving in this Fall!

The Clarion Call to rise above money in politics. Take it from one who has…you can refuse it. You can refuse to be swayed by it as you determine who to vote for. If politicians won’t vote out dirty money, you can vote out dirty candidates! Please!

This is the reality for child-bearing age women in Texas. Appalling consequences for young women who want nothing more than to have autonomy over their own bodies, their own futures, their ability to have a baby after a miscarriage. Heartbreaking consequences for women!

A poll on the heels of what Schumer did is a useless waste of time and money. We’re all angry right now, but we are united in the fight against oppression. Poll that!

I agree, we need the independent vote to win. We also need courage, conviction, passion and the integrity to inspire voters to fight for democracy and freedom. Time to plan and strategize for 2026. Firing up base is one thing…counting votes is critical to win…messaging to meet the moment!

I’m so sorry to say this, Louisa, but you should take no chances here. Too many terrible stories and close calls. I pray my granddaughters leave Texas before they decide to have their babies. Long time ago for me, but I too wouldn’t have received care I required for a miscarriage.

Republican abortion laws are killing and endangering Texas women. Make no mistake where responsibility lies. Maternal and infant mortality rates are so horrific, Texas leadership refuses to release them to the public. Don’t look away!

Ok, just going to say it here. Texas’ draconian abortion laws are killing women and endangering lives. Maternal mortality rates so alarming, officials refuse to release them. Infant mortality rates up as well!

If I learned one thing after 10 years on a public school board and 4 years in Texas Senate…Term limits good…20 years, plenty long enough. If you can’t reach goals by then, you’re not leading, you’re taking up space. Never expected to feel this way!
