The most profound part of @jamestalarico conversation with @joerogan was the part where he shared his “why”. Why did he run State Representative in the first place? He told the story of one his student named Justin. He talked about the connection he built with Justin, the…

.@jamestalarico on how Dems need to approach communicating: "Trying to script everything and control everything is just not going to cut it in 2025 or 2026."

Tonight @jamestalarico packed a Houston event with hundreds of voters 16 months before Election Day. This is the energy we need to take back Texas.

More and better housing for Texans is on the way. Working together with House author Rep. @JamesTalarico, today we passed my Senate Bill 2835, clearing away old codes and outdated modes, allowing for the construction of small-footprint apartment buildings with new materials and…

The passage of SB 2835 means we can live in buildings like this ☺️☺️ So proud to work for @NathanForTexas and to have worked with @jamestalarico’s amazing staff, @Texas2036 , @TexansHousing , and @TXReasSolutions to work this bill.

Greg Abbott has awakened a bipartisan, pro-public education movement. The same day he signed his billionaire voucher scam into law, Texans rejected anti-public education extremists in school board races across the state. Even in defeat, I see hope. A new movement is beginning.

Happening now: Rep. James Talarico grilling Rep. Stan Gerdes about his bill to ban "non-human behavior" re: debunked claims of schools providing cat litter for students who identify as animals. Asked for an example, Gerdes says none on cat littler but "yes on the furry side."

This was the most powerful moment I’ve experienced in 40 years of journalism. elpasomatters.org/2025/04/22/vic…

Turns out @jamestalarico was telling the truth and @GregAbbott_TX was threatening Republican legislators.

Last night, Rep. @JamesTalarico exposed that Greg Abbott was threatening vetoes and primaries against any Republican that opposed his voucher scam. The Governor called Talarico a liar. But here's what Republican lawmakers are saying: #txlege

NEW: 90% of Texans believe that private school vouchers should be put on the ballot. But Greg Abbott is trying to kill an amendment that would let the people decide. What are you afraid of, @GregAbbott_TX?

Protests are already in full swing at the Texas Capitol this morning ahead of the House’s expected vote on priority school voucher and public school funding legislation. The chant? “No vouchers. Fund our schools.”

Greg Abbott is bringing his private school voucher bill to the floor of the Texas House next week. Thousands of teachers & parents showed up at the Capitol to send a message loud enough for him to hear from the Governor’s mansion: “We don’t want your billionaire voucher scam.”

I just filed an amendment to expand Medicaid in the State of Texas. With the highest uninsured rate in the nation, expanding Medicaid would provide coverage to 1.2 million working Texans. We must stop accepting the unacceptable — the time to act is now.

"This is our 6th hearing on vouchers in two years. We haven’t had 6 hearings on teacher pay. We haven’t had 6 hearings on student discipline. We haven’t had 6 hearings on student mental health. This isn't about education — it’s about politics." — @jamestalarico #txlege

Rep. @JamesTalarico asks the $500,000 question about private school vouchers: "Do you think our taxpayers dollars should go to a family making $500,000 a year already sending their kids to private school?" #txlege

A trans person didn’t deny your health insurance claim, a giant corporation did. An asylum seeker didn’t raise your rent, a billionaire’s private equity firm did. Our focus must be taking on the billionaires & corporate greed.

At a House Oversight hearing entitled "The Biden Administration’s Regulatory and Policymaking Efforts to Undermine U.S. Immigration Law," I got to lay out who actually undermined the immigration system.
