Vouchers are a scam & a fraud to benefit the rich says Rev. Foster of ⁦Pastors for Children⁩ there are 6 GOP saying no to Gov. Greg Abbott - but we need 8 more & says their names

Humbled to receive the "David" award today from Diane Ravitch 🇺🇸🇺🇦📚🌈🗽🌹🇨🇱❤️ & Network for Public Education for standing up against "Goliath" Greg Abbott & his voucher scam. Total surprise. Deeply grateful. #txlege gina hinojosa Trent Ashby John McQueeney James Talarico Dade Phelan

We've got the receipts. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is playing politics with the 18th Congressional District. Nearly 800,000 Houstonians have no voice in Congress. The Governor needs to do his job. Call a June election for Texas's 18th Congressional District. Now.

Monday night outcome...jinx?

Taxpayer-funded vouchers put TX taxpayers on the hook for funding the tuition of EVERY student ALREADY in private school. It's "welfare for the well off" while our neighborhood schools are shutting down.

In the decade this guy has been governor, we’ve slipped from 39th in education to 41st. Republicans have been in power in Texas for 30 years. They haven’t done jack shit to fix our public schools. Now they’re trying to destroy them with this voucher scam.

🚨 URGENT: The TX House votes on school vouchers and funding on April 16th! The future of Texas public education is at stake. Oppose SB 2 (vouchers)! Support HB 2 (school funding)! 📢 Take Action NOW: txpta.org/take-action #TXLege

Now: Texas House members are receiving copies of this memo outlining past precedent for holding a statewide vote on a particular topic. It has happened before: In 1987 and 1989. Some Republicans and Democrats now want the issue of school vouchers decided by Texans #txlege

Are you keeping your promises to Texans? to the students and families of 1200 local rural, suburban & urban public school districts? to 5.5M kids? Senator Brandon Creighton - Texas SD4 Team Bettencourt Brad Buckley Dustin Burrows Dan Patrick #txed #txlege

By next week, the Texas House will probably do the thing where they open the back doors and scream so the Texas Senate can hear them. Never gets old #txlege

Update: It passed on a vote of 79-52. #TXlege

The "historic investment" for Texas public schools is like if you didn't pay your rent or make mortgage payments for 6 years, then wrote a huge check and said "This is the most I've ever given you by far!" #TxLege

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie

I represent the world's largest medical center. H-1b visas ensure that we are at the forefront of innovation and care. We shouldn't shut down the greatest talent — we should recruit them to join our team. This political stunt will have a significant impact on the Texas economy.

U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops files a SCOTUS amicus against Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship They call Trump's order "immoral" and urge the justices to "protect God-given human dignity" by finding it unconstitutional 👀

Last session, I filed SB 2888, which would have forced data centers receiving state tax breaks to adhere to environmental energy standards. It didn’t even get a hearing. 

These centers are ruining our state. We must hold them accountable. #txlege
