Now that Congress has passed a bill to ban TikTok, and Biden says he will sign it. Do you think they will create a law that states congressmen can’t invest in this newly required forced divesture? Nah. I didn’t think so either. cnbc.com/amp/2024/03/14…

Some state leaders have suggested that public schools are now receiving “historic funding.” But the truth is, when adjusted for inflation, schools are getting 19% less funding than in 2019. #FundOurFuture

Very disappointed in The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort. They just called to tell us that they moved us to The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and downgraded our suite. We booked 4 rooms late last year for our 30th wedding anniversary and my son’s 21st bday. Not a fun way to start our celebrations.

It’s such strange times when The Onion continues to be out Onion-ed by the zealots. He doesn’t understand the judicial system yet has been tried on bribery charges 3 times!

TEA’sability to do sound causal Inference continues to be wanton.

Budget buster: Arizona’s school voucher experiment has precipitated a budget meltdown. The state this year faced a $1.4 billion budget shortfall, much of which was a result of the new voucher spending propublica.org/article/arizon…

"None of those generators have been put in service since CenterPoint first began renting them in 2021." There is a public comment period open now on these unusable $800 million generators. A public hearing will be held if requested by Thursday. #txlege 1/ houstonchronicle.com/news/investiga…

CenterPoint should not buy more generators. Customers should be reimbursed for the $50 million in profits & $800 million spent on "mobile" generators the utility couldn't use. To charge ratepayers even more for generators adds insult to injury. #txlege houstonchronicle.com/news/investiga…

Texas has had school choice for quite a while now - more than 25 years, in fact, and it costs around $9 billion in the two-year 2024-25 #txbudget.

.@GovAbbott is amassing & hoarding your property taxes (4x the average surplus!) for a massive cash pay out to the wealthy & well-connected via “taxpayer-funded vouchers” while schools shutter & districts raise taxes to pay teachers… … & he has the nerve to brag about it. smh

School districts across Texas face budget cuts while the state under Greg Abbott sits on a record budget surplus. The Texas Constitution *requires the state* to pay for public education. Don't forget Abbott held school funding hostage for vouchers and he's still doing it.

While you're watching Texas schools struggle with inadequate resources: Anyone who tells you Greg Abbott didn't hold school funding hostage for private school vouchers is lying to you. Here's the video of Abbott spelling out what he was doing.

Hey University of North Texas - I would have paid extra for a “senior” parking pass just for alumnus who decided to come back for another degree. My undergrad self would have been surprised to learn that I struggle to find commuter parking around the “Texas Pickup” this semester. 😕🦅

Ken requires recipients to “‘immediately permit’ the attorney general to inspect its records, without an opportunity for precompliance judicial review of the request — in violation of the right to freedom from unreasonable search or seizure” that’s granted by our Constitution.

Q-do you think President Donald J. Trump Joe Biden should push through the 19th Amendment ERA - Equal Rights Amendment before he leaves office? Why or why not? The ERA would guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens, regardless of sex. I am in support.
