Pro-life activist Troy Newman was given a mailbox bomb yesterday. Troy was one of three people prosecuted in California for their roles in making the famous undercover fetal body parts videos.
How is this not in news?

— you can send your children to the school of your choice, but you oppose giving other parents the ability to send their children to the school of their choice.
Harris County Elections committed a crime when they released early voting numbers at 7:29pm last night. It’s a crime to release those numbers until polls close. Court order kept polls open until 8pm.
Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, & Tennessee have TERMINATED affiliation with

When will Texas

do the right thing and disassociate with the National School Boards Assoc?

Yes, I am angry at several republicans for voting against school choice funding. They should regret that vote.
I am absolutely furious at a republican whom I believe to be a sexual predator. I’ve never been so ticked off at another legislator. 🤬 He should resign now.
A Democrat judge has ordered the Harris County polls to stay open until 8pm. The Democrats created the problem and now they will say they provided the solution. The arsonist and the fireman are one.

Today, I sent cease-and-desist letters to abortion funds and Citigroup informing them of current abortion laws in Texas. Abortion funds think they can flout the law because a local district attorney refuses to bring charges. We'll fix this problem next session.

it's 87 degrees in austin (so hot) and cops are blocking people from bringing water to protestors, protestors are passing out but look what we have here....
Today, I take no joy in casting my vote to expel Representative Bryan Slaton.
Doing the right thing is sometimes difficult. But right is right.
On April 7th, I became the first lawmaker to publicly call for his resignation, stating: “I am absolutely furious at a republican whom
14 states have quit taxpayer funded lobbying group National School Boards Association over parents being targeted as domestic terrorists,but Texas Association of School Boards refused to sever ties. Outrageous that NSBA President is the past President of TASB. More to come…
UT has changed the name of its DEI program to “Campus and Community Engagement.” Same people are running it.
What are the odds they are still pushing the same DEI garbage?

Some of y’all in the Texas Legislature need a reminder about an important rule.
“No bill … shall contain more than one subject.” Tex. Const. art. III, § 35(a).
Also, the House has rules.

Brittney Griner is about to make millions selling books and giving woke speeches. They’ll probably name a school after her.
(Good moral character is no longer a prerequisite to becoming an American hero. So sad.)

Read this tweet to my wife who is a homeschool mom of 5. Was hoping to get her riled up. Didn’t work. All she said was “I have no idea who he is.”
History tells me that Texas will either get universal school choice done this year or we never will. Don’t take the crumbs. Be better than Florida and Arizona or sit down.
With Roe reversed, the Texas statutes the Court held unconstitutional in 1973 are back! They were never repealed by the legislature. Today, abortion is illegal in Texas except “for the purpose of saving the life of the mother.” (See Art. 4512.6)

Greg Casar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will unveil legislation tomorrow that they said will require ERCOT to connect to the nation's other major electric grids.
I hear the City of
@AustinTexasGov
has a committee looking into renaming Barton Springs b/c William Barton owned slaves.
Are they going to look at renaming things named after Cesar Chavez who used the slur 'wetbacks'?
Would they like to change the name of Lady Bird Lake back
If any Texas university allows what happened at Columbia to happen here,

Educational freedom is coming to Texas families. Soon all parents in Texas will be empowered to choose when, where, how, and by whom their children are educated. No excuses.

Texas Republican primary voters voted on a school choice proposition in the ballot last year.
88% of Texas Republican primary voters supported it.
Rep. Glenn Rogers ("R") says "that is not valid data."
It's time for Republican primary voters to show him their votes matter.
When high winds cause a tree to fall on a power line and the power goes out—that’s not a grid problem.
It’s a bad thing, but it has nothing do with the grid.
As a reminder, Section 28 of the Bill of Rights of the Texas Constitution says:
“No power of suspending laws in this State shall be exercised except by the Legislature.”
Tex. Const. art. I, § 28
If and when the

assembles in Austin again, I will be filling legislation to allow prosecutors from neighboring counties to prosecute election violations.
If the attorney general can’t, and a county won’t, then prosecutors from an adjacent county should be able to do it.
I remember when y’all were mad when KP fired and took adverse action against employees who blew the whistle on his illegal conduct before launching a public and private smear campaign to besmirch their reputations and jeopardize their future employment.
