Here we go. Vouchers are far from a "done deal" like Greg Abbott wants you to believe. We've been saying it for weeks. #txlege reporters know it too. They too walk the halls of the Capitol every single day: The vote count is borderline now. And the bill will only get worse.

"This is our 6th hearing on vouchers in two years. We haven’t had 6 hearings on teacher pay. We haven’t had 6 hearings on student discipline. We haven’t had 6 hearings on student mental health. This isn't about education — it’s about politics." — James Talarico #txlege

Update: After Columbia | SIPA canceled my class on Race, Journalism, and International Affairs, More than 2,200 people have signed up to take it online. Blown away. Let's GOOO. You can sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Greg Abbott has awakened a bipartisan, pro-public education movement. The same day he signed his billionaire voucher scam into law, Texans rejected anti-public education extremists in school board races across the state. Even in defeat, I see hope. A new movement is beginning.

Our NBC News team spent 6 months investigating a children’s pastor accused of being a serial rapist. His accusers have spent 40 years fighting to stop him. He works for televangelist Jim Bakker & still runs a secluded camp for kids in the Ozarks. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/p…

From #Gaza, the cries of parents rise to heaven ever more intensely as they clutch the lifeless bodies of their children, searching for food and shelter from bombs. I renew my appeal to leaders: cease fire, release all hostages, and fully respect international humanitarian law!

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

Ketchup is, most definitely, flying!

Friendships come and go, but In-N-Out will always be here for you.

Didn’t realize this was a prophecy

Let us invoke the Spirit of love and peace, that He may open borders, break down walls, dispel hatred, and help us live as children of our one Father who is in heaven. #Pentecost vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons!

Signs law requiring Ten Commandments displayed in all public classrooms. At the same time, vetos the Summer EBT program, meant to feed kids struggling with food insecurity during the summer. Doesn’t sound very Ten Commandments-like to me.

Forever grateful for the engagement and support of Chief Michael C. Miller and Officer Williams during my time in that district. Their leadership shines as an example of how powerful the connection between schools and law enforcement can, and should, be.
