Rep. John Bucy III

If you measure a society by how it treats children, the vulnerable, and the underserved — Greg Abbott’s Texas is a colossal failure. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Together, we will reject MAGA extremism and build a Texas as good as its promise.

Thank you Rep. @BucyForTexas for joining us today and for your eloquent speech on public transportation. Thank you also for helping name today @CapMetroATX Day! #CapMetroDay #CapMetro40"

The GOP released Trump’s mid-decade redistricting committee. Republicans know they’re going to lose. Instead of adjusting their policies or admitting they’re wrong — they want to cheat to win. This isn’t about fairness, it’s about holding on to power.

The 89th legislative session was filled with Republican extremism, culture wars, and disproven conspiracy theories — but Texas Democrats never backed down. We fought to protect Texans rights, defend our democracy, and pass legislation to help everyday Texans. Here’s the recap:

After Republican mega-donors spent millions bribing legislators, voucher scams passed this session. This is what they bought: religious indoctrination, discounts for wealthy parents, and zero accountability. Public dollars belong in public schools—where every child has a seat.

Special sessions are 30 days long and designed to address emergency items like this weekend’s devastating floods. It’s not the time for culture wars or pandering to extremists. We should focus on our emergency response systems to keep Texans safe and save the rest for 2027.

Trump said he'd "never cut Medicaid.” But today, his priority bill slashed Medicaid by $1.1 TRILLION – leaving 11.8 million Americans without healthcare. Republicans don’t give a shit about you.

BREAKING: Despite overwhelming evidence, Texas is again seeking Robert Roberson's execution. The witnesses recanted their stories. The science was disproven. The lead detective is “ashamed.” Robert is innocent and we must do everything to stop this miscarriage of justice.

“In this country, there are no kings.”

SHAMEFUL: Texas just agreed to end in-state tuition for nearly 20,000 undocumented students. That’s 20k young people who contribute to our economy, our research, and our innovation. @KenPaxtonTX just bent the knee to fascism… again. The eyes of history are upon us.

Thank to the Texas House for honoring the 20th anniversary of my law firm today. Shoutout to my guy @BucyForTexas for sponsoring this Resolution. #txlege

BREAKING NEWS: Oh wait… Nevermind. That was already the law…

I want to congratulate Austin City Council for advancing a bold vision for our future. I’ve already reached out to TxDOT to discuss their prospective funding — like they did with Klyde Warren Park in Dallas. Austin deserves vibrant public spaces and a city that connects us.

Austin has a once-in-a-generation chance to reconnect our communities. That’s why I joined my colleagues in urging the Council to move forward with Our Future I-35 Cap & Stitch project. This is about more than infrastructure — it’s about building a more connected, livable ATX.
