A reminder to conservatives who are on the fence about voting for

George W. Bush isn’t voting for him. Neither are many people from this administration (and others) who value their careers as public servants.

Donald Trump is facing 100 years in prison for a paperwork dispute.
Meanwhile, House Republicans can't even manage to censure Adam Schiff for lying and deliberately leaking secret information to frame a sitting president and nullify a democratic election.
Democrats play for
So the North Carolina GOP nominee for Governor doesn’t believe in women’s suffrage.
No, this is not “making America great again,” it’s going back in time over 100 years.
This man must be defeated.

In TX, the code specifically excludes miscarriages & ectopic pregnancies from the definition of

If someone makes the claim of ectopic pregnancies in

, direct them to this provision.
Anything else is disinformation, political rhetoric, or hype.

Imagine living in a world where everything/everyone is so tribal they think they have to fully subscribe to a political agenda — and the real lie they believe is that agenda will actually make a difference.
Oh, wait.
Vote for people, not parties.

New: Trump raised more than $6.6m since he was indicted in the Mar-a-Lago docs case, including $2.1m at a donor event last night at Bedminster, per release
Despite the pledge of Haley and DeSantis to pardon Donald Trump, I will not make that commitment. It is wrong to promise pardons to score political points and it undermines the principle of equal justice.
Definitely — the biggest part for me has been watching our party lose its structural integrity during the last 4 years.
Our party is no longer driven by values, it’s driven by a leader. Neither the Republican Party nor our founders intended it to be like this IMO.

Being

Most people right now don’t know how to live outside of their own bias which is fed to them on the internet.
It’s time to think for ourselves and stop letting your partisan algorithm dictate your ideas.

I simply love how the average person has a ten page political opinion but cannot even name their own Congressman or State Rep.
This is what’s wrong with the American populace. National pundits as their news sources, yet no participation in the democratic process.

A literal mushroom cloud of toxic chemicals detonated over the American heartland, after lobbyists and government officials weakened safety rules.
Just curious: Did any of the Sunday news shows bother to even mention this?
The current

Very loud boos for John Cornyn as he takes the stage at the

This endorsement is just wrong.
Speaker

He has also stood for the rule of law by helping to investigate our AG — Texas is lucky to have him for that.

Texas- I need your support. TODAY is election day. It’s time for Texas First leadership with a moral compass.
The polls are open from 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM! Your vote counts more than ever. It’s up to us to restore honor & integrity to the AG’s office. Head out and cast your vote.
Here’s where we are in 2021: A Texas Land Commissioner campaign promoting a “strong pro-life” candidate. The voters do realize this is for the office of land commissioner, right?

Brainwashing is so easy today. People will believe anything if it confirms their bias. Because there’s no critical thinking taught, people have no ideas of their own.
We’ve got to do better if we want to have a functioning democracy.

I keep finding that often the most active keyboard warriors aren’t active in real life. They are far removed from communities, places of influence and reality. The internet is a place that just breeds this problem and it’s affecting our society.
I never thought I’d have the opportunity to say this sentence, but here we are — I spent this morning in Reykjavik, Iceland studying the Texas Rules of Evidence.

Anyone who has worked in the House knows that it is the custom of the Texas House (and has been for many years) to appoint the minority party in power to chairmanships. The Texas House is known as “the people’s House” and it’s supposed to be reflective of ALL Texans.

Why are we trying to ban birth control if we want to lower the number of abortions?
Seriously, — I’ve never understood the logic on that one.
#PlanB
#AbortionBan
IDAHO: The state House's Assistant Majority Leader said his caucus would consider banning certain forms of birth control, including Plan B emergency contraception and intrauterine devices (IUDs).
To be clear: Plan B and IUDs are used to PREVENT pregnancy.
