.@JohnBryantForTX asked the obvious: “Why are we being asked to vote on a voucher scam with such flawed numbers?” Greg Abbott’s voucher scheme is rushed, reckless, and built on bad math. If any teacher were to grade it, it would get an F. #txlege

Breaking quorum is not a decision we take lightly. However, when Governor Abbott chooses to withhold critical flood relief in order to advance a partisan agenda at the request of Donald Trump, we are left with no choice. He had ample opportunity to prioritize disaster recovery earlier in the session but instead chose to play political games. Here's Donna Howard on why she's breaking quorum.

Republicans are counting on us to quietly accept Trump’s demands, but we refuse to put Abbott's political ambitions before the needs of our communities. By breaking quorum, we’re putting an end to this corrupt special session. Texans deserve leaders who fight for them, not politicians chasing power. Hear from Chair of the House Democratic Caucus Gene Wu on why he's breaking quorum.

Rep. @GinaForAustin: This voucher scam is "a billion dollars that could go to a $3,000, $4,000 pay raise for teachers." Why should Texans be expected to fund private school tuition for millionaires and billionaires when our neighborhood schools are in crisis? #txlege

Thousands of Texans testified against Trump's corrupt gerrymander, but their pleas have been ignored. Both Gov. Abbott and our Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives are choosing to trade away the voices of millions of Texans for political gain. Hear from Vice Chair Jon Rosenthal on why he's breaking quorum.
