Texas mothers are dying, and instead of giving us answers, Abbott’s administration is hiding that data. Texans deserve the truth. They deserve transparency. And our state officials have a legal obligation to give it to them. I’m demanding the report be released immediately.

Texas officials just admitted DPS failed to send an unknown number of voter registration applications to county officials. Up to 6 million Texans have used that same DPS portal to register since 2020. If yours got lost, you might not be on the rolls, even though you did everything right…

If you object to public-funded housing of homeless people, in the end the objection cannot be the cost, because we pay a premium to be cruel to homeless people. At the bottom of the objection will always sit dehumanizing cruelty and a desire for eradication.
