In order for our universities to remain competitive, we need to be able to offer the best professors academic freedom. By passing #SB18, we have effectively taken away tenure from them, which will only hurt our world-class institutions. #txlege

Don't touch other people's stuff; no STAAR test; no violence; and 4-day weekends. These cubs will make incredible legislators! These were some of today's law ideas. I think they are ready to take my place in office! Thank you Surrat Elementary for having us on career day. #txlege

SB14 violates the Equal Protection Clause because it treats a specific group of people—transgender adolescents—different than everyone else when it comes to healthcare. Two federal courts have already struck down similar laws.

Stayed up late watching #SB17 committee hearing and so many testimonies 
. TX is fortunate to have @RepMaryGonzalez asking the hard questions and challenging the “we’re still gonna do the work” mindset. Language matters and belonging matters. No part of this bill is reasonable.
