The US is $40 trillion in debt A war that cost us already over $100 billion Inflation at 4.6% and rising To give every American a $5000 check would cost over $1.2 trillion There were no doge checks No dividend checks from the tariffs There will be no $5000 check I’m so sick of the lies

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

The House passed The Save Act. If you changed your last name when you got married, you need to make sure that you have a passport with your new last name. This is voter suppression. This act suppresses more than just women’s votes. Only hope we have is the Senate. Not holding my breath.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

🚨 As threats of immigration raids loom, remember that our rights come from the Constitution, not documentation. Knowing your rights can protect you and your family. Carry ID, prepare emergency plans, and keep calm. You belong here. #txlege (1/2)
A blue infographic titled "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS" with the subheading "Citizen or immigrant, you have protections in Texas. Here’s what they are." The graphic includes the following points:

At the door: "You are not required to open the door for anyone unless they have a court order. It should be signed by a judge with their name, address, and permission to search."
At a traffic stop: "Stay calm and polite, keeping your hands on the wheel or letting the officer know what you're doing. The driver only needs to provide their name, driver’s license, and proof of insurance."
At the hospital: "Hospitals in Texas are required to ask about your citizenship or immigration status. You are not required to answer. You may need to show some photo ID."
In an arrest: "Do not run or resist. You can ask to park your car in a safe location. You have the right to privately speak to an attorney before speaking to the police or signing anything."
At the bottom, it states: "You have a right to remain silent and a right to an attorney." The graphic includes a logo for "TXHDC Texas House Democratic Caucus" and states, "Information sources: Texas Legal Services Center. Not created with government resources. Learn more about immigration laws and rights at texaslawhelp.org/immigration." Icons accompany each section, such as an ID card, a door, a police officer, a heart monitor, and handcuffs.A blue infographic in Spanish titled "CONOZCA SUS DERECHOS" with the subheading "Ciudadano o inmigrante, usted tiene protecciones en Texas. Estas son:" The graphic includes the following points:

En la puerta: "No es necesario abrirle la puerta a nadie sin una orden judicial. La orden debe estar firmada por un juez e incluir su nombre, dirección, y autorización para realizar el registro."
Parada de tráfico: "Manténgase calmado y sea respetuoso, manteniendo las manos en el volante o informando al oficial lo que está haciendo. Solo el conductor del vehículo debe proporcionar su nombre, licencia de conducir, y comprobante de seguro."
En el hospital: "Los hospitales en Texas están obligados a preguntar sobre su ciudadanía o estatus migratorio. No está obligado a responder. Es posible que deba mostrar alguna identificación con foto."
Si lo arrestan: "No corra ni se resista. Puede pedir estacionar su automóvil en un lugar seguro. Tiene derecho a hablar en privado con un abogado antes de hablar con la policía o firmar cualquier cosa."
At the bottom, it states: "Recuerde que siempre tiene el derecho a guardar silencio y a contar con un abogado." The graphic includes a logo for "TXHDC Texas House Democratic Caucus" and states, "Fuente de información: Texas Legal Services Center. No creado con recursos gubernamentales. Obtenga más información sobre las leyes y los derechos de inmigración en texaslawhelp.org/immigration." Icons accompany each section, such as an ID card, a door, a police officer, a heart monitor, and handcuffs.
