Today was the highest electricity demand day of the year so far in Texas. Renewables again produced over 50% of the needed power at the time of peak demand. No conservation call, no energy emergency, no drama. Just low wholesale power prices—again. #txlege #txenergy

TX is home to the most racially gerrymandered maps in the nation. Now, Abbott is pushing to target & eliminate Black & Brown districts to win 5 more Republican seats in Congress. Listen to @findoutpodcast here: youtube.com/watch?v=GXU4UR… Join the fight: secure.actblue.com/donate/gina-hi…

Governor JB Pritzker stands with Texas Democrats: When you show people that you have the will to fight, they can muster the will to fight, too. Courage is contagious.

UPDATE: The AI didn’t just ghost your resume. It discriminated. A federal judge just ordered Workday to hand over a full list of employers that used AI to rank job applicants. Not just their tech… but every company that enabled HiredScore. And now it’s evidence. 🧵👇

The average revision to monthly payroll employment during the Biden Admin--from 1st estimate to final/latest--was -0.05%. For the 1st Trump Admin, it was -0.10% (same including the pandemic or not). These are both small revisions, but the "overstatement" was greater under Trump.

As I said to Pete Buttigieg, Trump is running scared. Texans didn't vote for him to kick 17M Americans off their health care, and he knows it. Instead of facing the voters, he’s trying to rig the '26 election by manipulating the maps. Help us fight back: secure.actblue.com/donate/gina-hi…

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq

Lost in the debate: Democrats have been totally screwed by Republican gerrymandering nationwide. Republicans **currently** have a 16 seat gerrymandering advantage according to the non-partisan Brennan Center. Gerrymandering handed the GOP majorities in the House in ‘22 and ‘24.

The Special Session is dead. Right now, at this very moment, Governor Abbott can grab his pen and state checkbook and send money to Kerr County for flood relief. Right. Now. #txlege

This is authoritarianism.

This is not what democracy looks like. #txlege takes up committee sub to hb4 with no public input

Families who lost everything in the floods are still waiting for help. Yet the first bill Republicans rushed out of committee today wasn’t about flood relief—it was about racial redistricting for political power grabs. 6 hours after quorum, they chose Trump over Texans. #txlege

HB 8 would replace 1 STAAR test w/ THREE STAAR tests a year. Don’t be fooled by the claim that HB 8 eliminates the STAAR.  If anything, it replaces it w/ a big black hole that sucks all remaining joy out of the classroom. We need less testing in our neighborhood schools, not more

TOMORROW 8/26 the Texas House will vote on HB 8 which TRIPLES testing in our TX public schools. Call, text, email or @ your TX House Member NOW & tell them to vote NO on HB 8.

Nobody will read this statement. By itself, it has no electoral implications. But I can’t think of too many posts that better encapsulate the complete headlessness of Democratic messaging in Trump v2.

After watching the House floor debate and vote on the ivermectin OTC bill, we can only assume Texas Republicans are in full support of regulating hemp thc in the same or even better fashion. #txlege

This is a tragedy. Texans have been targeted & killed. We mourn the dead & condemn this act of violence. While we wait for more information, let’s not give the killer notoriety by ascribing meaning to this depraved act of cowardice.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a call to action. This month, we celebrate the vibrant cultures, strength and historic contributions of Latino communities. We honor those who built change for all and commit to a future rooted in justice.

Great. I’m looking forward to Ken Paxton’s indictment.
