Imagine a world in which an 11 year old girl is deemed mature enough to have a baby, but not to read The Diary of Anne Frank.

I visited the Gov in '19 on other business. He saw my Santa Fe shirt, looked me in the eyes & said, "what happened in Santa Fe will NEVER happen again." 4 yrs later Uvalde. Yet, still no changes! It's time we get someone who cares!

Every day Beto O'Rourke is holding in-person town halls taking questions from regular Texans about our future.
As of today, Greg Abbott hasn't held an in-person town hall in THREE YEARS. He ONLY meets with his donors.
He's not meeting with us because he's not working for us.

When journalists write a story about breast cancer, they don't interview someone who "doesn't believe in chemotherapy" for "balance". That would be absurd.
We are asking journalists to stop treating #abortion care differently than other healthcare.

When DeSantis says teacher requirements are too rigid, what he’s actually saying is it needs to be easier to install unqualified teachers who can indoctrinate children using conservative ideology and revisionist history.

Hey guys, I know a guy crashed into a US Capitol barricade today, fired a gun/set his car on fire/killed himself. Yesterday armed deplorables threatened the Phoenix FBI HQ. And a few days ago a guy attacked the Cincy FBI Building. But a Dem just said "fuck," so be on the lookout

The Iranian regime arrived at the decision to attempt to kill Salman Rushdie- without anyone anyone actually reading the book- following a process that will sound familiar to those following extremist Republican book bans in Texas.
Quote Tweet
This is a story about the Iranian fatwa on @SalmanRushdie : Someone I know & trust was a member of the Iranian regime in the 80s. He, his colleagues & friends loved Rushdie’s books (yes, really), so a few of them arranged a meeting with Grand Ayatollah Montazeri… 1/4

If a person finds the massacre of school children humorous, they deserve to be called a motherfucker. They deserve multiple swears in various languages.
If a person (see below) will tut-tut about the swears but not the massacres, they're a motherfucker too.

Glad someone else is going to serve as the lightning rod on this today. I don't understand the incandescent rage that this objection generates, or why it gets equated with somehow excusing the murder of children. twitter.com/NPR/status/155…

To be clear, as a young relatively healthy person currently in the ICU with COVID, I despise this. The CDC’s guidelines should be based on science and not politics or societal desires. Do better. You are killing people. 💔

Meta is not a nameless, faceless robot. A handful of people decided to hand over a 17 yr old's information about her abortion. Human beings wrote, edited and published these nonsense PR statements. Tech companies are made of people who make decisions to do incredible harm

There are some people who will be more upset about Beto cursing than the fact that someone laughed at a shooting— let alone the deaths of 19 children.
If you’re one one of those people just know you’re an asshole.

This is a gross distortion of facts.
The IRS has 78,000 employees. Total. For the whole agency. Not 78,000 agents.
Border Patrol is part of CBP, which has 60,000 employees. CBP is part of DHS, which encompasses 240,000 employees. DHS has three components on the border.
Quote Tweet
Border patrol agents: 19,536
IRS agents: 78,661
Democrats look at this and say: let's more than double the number of IRS agents!

Texas Congressman didn’t bother to get the facts. This happened during the Trump administration when an ATF officer tried to remove a gun from a prohibited purchaser. The ATF is now suing Columbus, Ohio police for excessive force. Reading is hard: dispatch.com/story/news/cri

Congress MUST pass my No REGISTRY Rights Act and ensure instances like this DON'T happen.
ATF tracking down law-abiding gun owners clearly puts citizens, local police, and even federal agents in unnecessary and potentially dangerous situations.
This should never happen. twitter.com/YALiberty/stat…

The Biden Admin.'s refusal to approve Texas' post-partum Medicaid extension for mothers is unconscionable.
This move risks robbing mothers of services Texas specifically extended for them post-partum.
Biden must direct his admin. to reverse this or get ready for a fight w/ TX.

School, libraries and post offices do not “lose money”. They are not businesses, they are social services. The only loss of money that happens there is when corrupt people are put in charge and mishandle the money that is meant to be there.
