Elon Musk’s sledgehammer approach to government "efficiency" — abruptly cancelling contracts and conducting mass firings through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — has inspired a slew of state-level copycats seeking to similarly slash state budgets.🧵

📉 🚨NEW REPORT: We're sharing new data, breaking down compounding effects of federal cuts to demonstrate four scenarios Texan families will experience if Congress cuts #Medicaid, #SNAP, and more. Trusted data is evidence for our collective advocacy. 👉🏽 everytexan.org/2025/04/02/com…

It's #BudgetDay and we're dialed in! Last year, we heard from thousands of Texans across the state - we know they want to see the #TxLege invest in the health, wealth, and future of ALL Texans. They want a #peoplesbudget

Property tax cuts benefit wealthy homeowners the most. #txlege should stop cutting taxes, and properly fund our schools and healthcare instead. #peoplesbudget
