We said it before, and the data proves it again: Vouchers are NOT school choice. More than 20,700 Texas students who were awarded vouchers have already dropped out of the program. Why? Because private school isn't a realistic option for working families.
dallasnews.com
Most Texas students who returned their voucher were previously in public school
Education experts say the numbers confirm their early warnings. Getting approved for a voucher is a starting point — actually using it can prove challenging.

Texans deserve to have their voices heard when decisions are being made about the future of our state. At The People’s Hearing in El Paso, we heard directly from community members about the challenges they are facing & the issues they want their elected officials to address.

Republican leadership continues to deny $10 billion of Medicaid funding annually, despite Texas leading the nation in rural hospital closures and over 80% of Texas’ counties federally designated Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs).

There is no greater emergency to our state than a deficit in public education funding and a deficit in student outcomes. Watch the full committee hearing at: house.texas.gov/videos/22708 #PublicEducation #Teachers #TexasLege #EducationForAll #FundPublicSchools

Texas teachers are paid $8,500 less than the national average, while their pay has also failed to keep pace with inflation. Over the past decade, teachers have lost an average of $5,000 in buying power across all years of experience.

Dallas lost a dear friend, a fierce grassroots activist, and a beloved community member.   Sylvia Collins was among the victims identified following last Thursday’s gas explosion at The Clyde Apartments in Oak Cliff.

One year after Trump imposed tariffs, Texas small businesses are facing rising costs, tighter cash flow, and slower growth. These pressures don’t stop at the business level—they lead to higher prices for consumers, reduced services, and slower local economic growth across Texas communities.

Texas Republicans are inserting right-wing religious dogma into the public school curriculum. Indoctrinating children with religious and one-sided worldviews is how authoritarian political movements push their agenda.

Congress, not the President, has the authority to declare war. Americans are dying, civilians are being killed, and families are paying the price. Congress must reclaim its constitutional authority to declare war before more lives are lost.

Thanks to widespread public pushback, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has removed large sections from its border wall proposal. However, the threat remains. Portions of Big Bend Ranch State Park are still on the table for construction.

Local leaders are being sidelined and public complaints are being ignored. Our stance is clear, we do not want unchecked armed agents of the government dismantling our communities.

ICE and the DHS must be held accountable for their violence and reckless conduct. ICE officers are responsible for the tragic deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and the inexcusable and illegal detention of children,U.S. citizens, and legal residents, using tactics that are prohibited by law.
