The State of Texas has a record budget surplus. However, we are still seeing school funding per student in Texas fall. Our schools have been starving for funding. The intent to harm and diminish public education is Texas by our state leadership is on full display.

School districts in the Houston area are slammed with $850 million in deficits just months after Governor Abbott announced huge state budget surpluses. Folks, this crisis is by design.

Too many of our fellow Texans are still sitting in a hot, humid house without power after Hurricane Beryl. We need to hear real solutions from Dan Patrick and others in leadership on how we will fix the damn grid. No more political deflections and squabbles.

Very sad to learn that Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has left us. I admired her passion for her constituents and for our country. It was an honor to know her and campaign with her. We've lost one of the great ones.

I trusted the judgement of Joe Biden four years ago and I trust it today. I am very grateful for the service he rendered our country. Now we turn our attention to winning this November and we will due to the remarkable progress under his leadership. Thank you, Joe.

Not surprising to see Dan Patrick melt down in the face of Joe Biden's patriotism and love for his country. He will never grasp the concept of integrity.

This is Dan Patrick's endorsed candidate for president stating there will be no more democratic elections if he is re-elected. I don't expect Dan to denounce this anti-American rhetoric. I just hope my fellow Texans understand that our democracy is on the line this November.

I've been in the business world a long time and can tell when something is fishy. Despite his pandering to the crypto folks, Trump's comments on Bitcoin makes it clear he knows little about it. As an old auditor, something doesn't smell right. It's time for an honest discussion.

As a Texas Democrat, who switched parties when the GOP turned extreme, I am excited to work with the Republicans for Harris campaign to help others do the same. @RepsForHarris #CountryOverParty

Sound judgement makes for sound leadership, which our nations needs now more than ever. Looks like Kamala Harris has made a very sound judgement in selecting Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. A teacher, a military man, a patriot. This is a very good day for the United States!

Trump favors his wealthy donors over the heroic men and women of the US Military. He has called soldiers killed in war "losers" and "suckers." He disparaged John McCain’s heroism. Trump doesn't respect their sacrifices. He never will. This is among the reasons I oppose him.

You can’t downplay this. Donald Trump is incapable of respecting anything... Not even the sacred ground of the Arlington Cemetery and its rules. He has disrespected our fallen soldiers far too many times.

Donald Trump wants Putin to get a good "deal" in Ukraine. It's called appeasement. America needs to be strong on national defense and opposed to Russian aggression. It blows me away that the party of Ronald Reagan has chosen Donald Trump as its leader.

A vote for Trump and today's GOP will result in higher fiscal deficits. It's been that way for a long time. They call themselves fiscal conservatives but they are not. Not even close. As a deficit hawk, it was easy to leave the party of fiscal deficits aka the Republican Party.

Gilberto Gilberto Hinojosa welcomed me to the TX Democratic Party when I left the GOP in 2014. He supported my efforts at every turn. I cherish our friendship and value his sincerity. His love of our state, country, and the families that make up our democracy will always inspire me.

Hi again, just wanted to chime in and say don't be fooled, folks! The vouchers are NOT about school choice. They're about West Texas billionaires cramming their bad ideas down Texans' throats! Call your reps and let them know you are a "No!" on vouchers.

The vast majority of Texans oppose these vouchers. When you shred democracy and force bad policy on the people, Governor Abbott, the people will revolt against you.

I met Joe Biden and was with him on many stops during his 2020 Presidential campaign. The news of his cancer diagnosis saddens me. I saw first hand how much he loves his country, his family, and his fellow man. I’m praying tonight for him and his family.
