Republicans are so obsessed with legislating against Drag Shows that you'd think that 19 children and two teachers had been blown apart at one.

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?

Texas REPUBLICAN judge lowers the bond for a violent felon who was SEEN ON VIDEO violently robbing and paralyzing a mother of 3. All that tough talk from @TexasGOP and @HarrisCountyGOP was just more LIES for votes. twitter.com/ABC13Brooke/st…

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

lie to your face about a delivery? I've been at home waiting. No slip on the door. No truck on my security cam. But UPS says they tried... now I'll have to drive out to the boonies to pick it up.

The #HISD takeover is a shameful political attack by Gov. Abbott & Morath on Houston parents, educators, & all supporters of Public Edu. Houstonians should hold Abbott responsible if any of our schools stop improving or regress under TEA’s watch.” My full #txlege statement

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.

We went to visit our political prisoner, Kyle young today. We got turned away. They just canceled visits. We drove 12 and a half hours to come. This is devastating for our children who are missing out on their father.

As motherhood plunged Destiny Williams deeper into poverty, Texas did little to help. She’s considering moving out of her East Texas town for better work opportunities, subsidized housing and child care. But leaving her community brings other challenges. bit.ly/3mGs0wM

If there are any more repeat reminders about the dangers of deregulating financial institutions, Marvel is going to have to give them a series in the MCU.

I'm proud of the Muslim American community for coming to the Capitol and refusing to be ignored. We stand with you all.

Tomorrow, the Muslim community will gather for the 20th year to celebrate Texas Muslim Capitol Day. Despite the hatred some people give, we will continue to gather and advocate on our own behalf in this country, always and forever, except that Allah should decide otherwise.

This is the guy Elon Musk spent a dozen tweets picking on and mocking for having a disability. A person who's overcome immense adversity to not only be successful but to be named person of the year. Halli is role model, not Elon.

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

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

A response to media posting a class project from my teenage years. Sometimes you just gotta laugh 😂 Media wants to distract us from adults who act in sexually suggestive ways in front of kids. We’re not backing down against those that want to rob a child’s innocence! #txlege
