Hunt flood survivor pleads: "Please prioritize this over everything else this Special Session." This is only the 2nd hearing on the floods that killed over 130 Texans. The 8th hearing on redistricting is tomorrow. The Governor's priorities are clear.

BREAKING: The bill to take over the city of Austin DIED in committee with 0 votes in favor. This is a huge win for local control, Austin voters, and our democracy. I will always fight for Austin's independence.

We just received a bomb threat. When Republican leaders tell their supporters to “hunt us down” this is what happens. They’ve turned a political fight into physical threats. But we’re here, we’re safe, and we’re undeterred.

I just went on NewsMax and told them something they don’t often hear: THE TRUTH. Trump is so unpopular that rigging congressional maps is his only chance at winning the midterms. The host was speechless.

Over 130 Texans died in the July 4th floods. Republicans responded with zero flood relief bills — and a mid-decade redistricting scheme to help Trump cling to power. That’s not governing. That’s exploitation. We broke quorum because Texans deserve better.

Texas Republicans just filed a lawsuit to remove me from office. They want to silence me for standing up to their power grab. But I swore an oath to the Constitution — and I will do whatever it takes to defend it.

This special session was supposed to be about saving lives after tragic flooding in Texas. Instead, Governor Abbott and Donald Trump are trying to rig the election and cling to power. We broke quorum because the power belongs to the voters — not Donald Trump.

76% of voucher applicants are wealthy families already in private school. We knew this would happen — and Republicans voted down my amendment to prevent it. Voucher scams are a taxpayer-funded handout for the wealthy.

Texas Republicans just ended their mid-decade redistricting session early. THEY LOST AND THEY KNOW IT. Soon, they will call another special session to try to cheat to win the midterms. Texas Democrats will not back down.

The Secretary of State just handed Texas’ voter file to the DOJ with no justification. While 23 states refused the order, Texas Republicans put 18 million Texans’ data and voter registration at risk to please Trump. The GOP betrayed Texans’ trust for political gain — again.

BREAKING: The TX Senate just voted to defund public schools. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again — I will NEVER vote for a voucher scam. Vouchers cause larger classes & worse educational outcomes for millions of Texas kids. Public tax dollars do not belong in private schools.

I just filed an amendment to block wealthy families from using the voucher scam as a private school tuition discount — Republicans voted it down. No one making $160,000+ needs help covering private school tuition. This is common sense. It should've been an easy yes.

If you measure a society by how it treats children, the vulnerable, and the underserved — Greg Abbott’s Texas is a colossal failure. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Together, we will reject MAGA extremism and build a Texas as good as its promise.

Texas Senator Carol Alvarado announced she would filibuster Republicans’ rigged congressional maps. The Lieutenant Governor blocked her before she even started. Republicans can’t win a fair fight, so they’re banning the fight altogether.

Republicans are letting the Attorney General write laws to give himself more power. In 2021, a conservative court ruled that it was illegal. Turns out “law and order” doesn’t apply when Republicans want more control.

I just filed an amendment to expand Medicaid in the State of Texas. With the highest uninsured rate in the nation, expanding Medicaid would provide coverage to 1.2 million working Texans. We must stop accepting the unacceptable — the time to act is now.

“House Bill 4 is not about representation. It’s not about fairness. It is a desperate, mid-decade power grab. Engineered in Washington, executed in Austin, and paid for by the Texans we’re supposed to represent.”

In 2017, Texas banned high-speed rail. Today, I announced legislation to repeal that outdated ban and invest in the rail line Texans deserve. HB 483 would connect Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio along the I-35 corridor. This is about expanding our economy and connecting Texans.
