Rather than focusing our upcoming special legislative session on actual problems like flood mitigation and keeping Texans safe, Gov. Abbott also wants new congressional districts We shared some thoughts on the topic with @guardian Full story at: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j… #txlege

in fact, it was @DanPatrick's Senate that failed to even give it a hearing after being passed 129-18 in the House #txlege

For those interested in what's happening in the first regional redistricting hearing at the #txlege -- follow @emilyebytx's thread! No one communicates it better! ⬇️

this rage-inducing headline pretty well captures how day one of our special session in Texas went #txlege

Texas lawmakers are back in session—and Gov. Abbott is wasting no time pushing a racist redistricting scheme. Instead of solving real problems like flooding or public safety, he’s prioritizing partisan power grabs. We see you. #TXLege

Happening now: As special session of the #txlege gets underway - Legislators, Members of Congress and advocacy group leaders - including @emilyebytx of @CCauseTexas - are gathered to denounce Greg Abbott’s dangerously misplaced priorities Watch live: house.texas.gov/videos

The Fair Maps Texas Coalition is joining up with MOVE Texas to host 2 testimony trainings next week before redistricting hearings begin. Bring your democracy loving friends and be part of this with us! #fairmaps bit.ly/3TNDrjq

Historically, the #txlege holds a ton of field hearings *all over the state* in advance of redrawing districts Unless they're planning on only redrawing congressional districts in Houston, Austin and Arlington (spoiler: they're not) 3 hearings is nowhere near enough

I don’t even know what to say. I love this damn station and still strongly believe it does nothing but good for West Texas. @MarfaRadio is by locals for locals. Def ain’t in it to get rich. We’ll keep doin’ it some way or another promise you that

nobody tell him this is the recipe for…mexican coke

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.

U.S. President Donald Trump asked Liberian President Joseph Boakai where he learned to speak "so beautifully" during a White House meeting on Wednesday. English is the official language of Liberia.

This Governor just told the world he DOESN’T GIVE A DAMN about doing the real work of governing to keep Texans safe after the horrific July 4th floods. @GregAbbott_TX just added congressional redistricting to a 30 day Special Session that should be laser focused on saving lives.

Abbott’s decision to call a special session on redistricting is nothing more than a craven power grab. Read my full statement here:

The only thing the governor and #txlege have any business prioritizing in the special session is flooding. None of the extra garbage items on the agenda. People are dead and missing. A bathroom bill sure as hell won’t fix that.

NEW: In his first presser after the deadly floods, the Kerr County Judge said they do not have an emergency alert system. But we've learned that not only does the county have such a system, but first responders asked that it be triggered very early Friday AM. Some residents…

Texas officials have long worried about the dangers to children who packed into camps each summer along the flood-prone Guadalupe River. They knew that warning systems were inadequate. So why was nothing done? We have reviewed documents spanning a decade to find answers. 🧵 1/9

in case you are wondering how people in rural areas can distribute and receive emergency information in a disaster even when cell service is unreliable, that technology exists and it is called public radio stations

Are you a lib who has been blocked by Emily French on Twitter? Ask yourself this one question: did I ever tweet gleefully about Texans dying?
