Our local FOX NEWS station and "Breaking Bond" reporter (who is always outraged when felony bonds are lowered) ... are all strangely quiet about this turn of events. I wonder if the judge being an elected REPUBLICAN has anything to do with this?

As a judge's decision to lower a 17-year-old suspect's bond in a Chinatown robbery is attracting criticism, 13 Investigates has obtained jailhouse phone calls that a source close to the investigation confirms the suspect made. My full story: abc13.com/bond-lowered-c

It’s interesting to watch conservative white people find out that the government imprisons people HOURS away from their family with no consideration for the burden placed upon the family to see their loved one.

A reminder that Republicans believe that if teens don't hear about sex in school sex education classes, then they won't know how to have sex. The same way that Boebert didn't have sex ed, but still successfully became a teen mom.

Lauren Boebert blasts sex-ed classes. Twitter reminded her she was a teen mom

She also said schools who teach about "same-sex sex" should have their funding cut...

When I was a teenager I felt like nobody liked me. I walked funny. I was shy. I cried by myself a lot. I thought about suicide. This year I’m nominated as person of the year in my home country. I still cry by my self sometimes. But life can get better if you give it time.

17 yrs ago today, Rep. Howard was sworn in as the newest member of the TX House. From Day 1, she has had a note on her desk that reads “Remember- This job belongs to the people.” This message has guided every decision she has made as a state rep. -TH

Over and over: "Landed ownership is the most fundamental right..." That's why we're taking it away from people.

NOT F...... ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH THIS BULLSHIT.

Who had "a state senator says 'Chinamen'" on their bingo card?

Bill layout: We don't like the policies of oppressive governments... They restrict land ownership. So, let's make our laws more like theirs. Perfect.

As we begin hearing Senate Bill 147 and SB711 (Bills which restrict individual rights based on national origin)... That the Texas Constitution itself forbids discrimination based on NATIONAL ORIGIN. #txlege
