This is NOT Mexico. Our veterans fought & died for our Constitution. The Constitution protects due process & the presumption of innocence. That must never change. That’s why I stand against SJR 87. Our rights aren’t mere suggestions—they’re the foundation of justice.#txlege

We're proud to stand with Jolanda Jones as her HB 413 heads to the governor! The bill ends a cruel practice — keeping people locked up before trial longer than their maximum sentence. Pretrial detention should never exceed potential punishment. #txlege

BREAKING: Texas Republicans just passed a major book banning bill. They say it’s about protecting kids from “filth.” But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it could ban classics like Romeo and Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, and Lonesome Dove.

My opa served Texas, and while I’m deeply proud of him, he also defended anti-LGBTQ policies, which complicates my memory of him. I brought that up in the House floor yesterday, hoping my colleagues might think about how their vote on Don’t Say Gay might affect their grandkids.
