I said it before and I’ll say it again: If you are in a position of public trust and use hateful rhetoric about immigrants after seeing the violence in El Paso, then as far as I’m concerned, you are an accomplice to any future crime. #txlege #ElPasoStrong

On 1/12/09 I sat at my desk in the Capitol for the first time. It was the day before swearing in. I was either focusing on the job ahead, or wondering what I had gotten myself into. It’s been a journey since that day. Looking forward to the next 140 days. #txlege

Not only did Matt call ICE to the Capitol because he felt uncomfortable around brown people, he also threatened to shoot a #txlege colleague. If that’s not enough, he also met with a known white supremacist and holocaust denier. Matt needs to resign and let a Texan take over.

Not only did Phelan appoint him to chair the committee in charge of criminal justice policy, he was also one of the House impeachment managers prosecuting @KenPaxtonTX . Dade needs to resign and let a Republican take over.

Took William and Preston out to the mural today. I am sure they will ask a million questions about what happened, and answering those will be difficult. Teaching them about the strength and beauty of our community will be the easy part. #ElPasoStrong #ChucoStrong #txlege

At church this morning we spoke about building a better community, and discussed ways to do that. The answer to that question was rooted in love. Tonight, let’s remember that only love conquers hate. Let’s use that love to change the world. I love you #ElPaso . #EPStrong #txlege

Ok #ElPaso ...today we have a new requirement for wearing a mask when we enter into businesses. It’s a small inconvenience that can help save lives. Embrace it. I also encourage you to find a childhood karate pic of yourself to use as a mask design. #txlege

Today Texas launched Operation Lone Star to respond to the border crisis. It deploys Nat'l Guard + DPS Officers + air, ground, marine, & tactical border security assets to deny Mexican Cartels & smugglers the ability to move drugs & people into Texas.

Two years ago, my big sister Melissa was headed with me to celebrate #WorldDownSyndromeDay at the #txlege . This session, that probably won’t happen. However, we feel blessed to be celebrating her birthday today. She’s had two doses of vaccine, and is ready to shake up the world.
