Abbott's done enough damage to Texas. Time to shut him down and save our schools and communities.
His response to the massacre Uvalde's Robb ES: "It could have been worse." No, it could not. Abbott's political career should end on this and his welcome mat to data centers.

Welcome to Greg Abbott’s Texas: higher taxes, more data centers.

This is why it's vital to elect @ginafortexas.bsky.social governor in Texas. Gina Hinajosa supports all students having access to quality education in public school. Greg Abbott has been actively undermining public education in Texas for decades.
Texas public schools banned 8,193 books during the 2025-26 school year, more than twice as many as any other state, according to PEN America.

We still have to put in the work.
Now, go VOTE! 😎✨

Three of my Top Ten are in this list's top ten: Breaking Bad, Mad Men and Succession. I'm surprised by the fairly high ranking of Enlightenment. I thought it was a great show but was disappointed that it didn't have more seasons. Glad to see it given recognition.

I was Gina curious. Now, I'm genuinely impressed with how she intends to lead the state of Texas. Gina Hinojosa fully supports quality public education for Texas children and their families. She wants laws to protect us from the rampant growth of data centers.

Wait, a man who drove his wife to suicide by proving how popular he is with the ladies stole money from black kids for their health to fund an entourage to prove how important he is?
It's *almost* as if RFK, Jr. is a truly horrible, insecure person!

A government is not a collection of individuals. It is a set of majorities. When you vote for the nicest Republican on the ballot, you are still handing Donald Trump the gavel, the committees, and the subpoenas. Vote for the majority you actually want.

Lying liars
KARL: Do you support Trump banning news organizations because he doesn't like what they're reporting?
SCALISE: Look, Biden removed the press credentials from 400 agencies
KARL: That's not true. 400 reporters who had credentials didn't reapply. They weren't banned from the WH. That did not happen.
