No one deserves a disaster. Please do not wish the worst on Texans because of how any of us vote. What Central Texas needs now is your hope, your prayers, and when the time comes, your help and donations.
Major tragedy in three acts is unfolding in west Texas Kerr County where Tropical Storm Barry caused UNEXPECTED flash flooding there dozens of children attending summer camps are missing or unaccounted for and they're finding people killed by the storm. Kerr voted 78% for Trump.

Keeping Central Texas in my thoughts today.
🚨 Multiple people are dead after catastrophic flash flooding in Central Texas. The Guadalupe River crested its banks in the middle of the night and is inundating small, rural communities. Areas include Kerrville, Center Point, Ingram, Comfort and others. @KPRC2

Happy Independence Day, Texas! It's time we take back patriotism from the loudmouths. Democrats love this country. We offer help to others. We protect our most vulnerable. We offer opportunity. And we will not be bullied out of our country.

"Edison Electric Institute estimates that in Texas, the repeal of federal credits would raise annual energy costs per household for both electricity and fuel by more than $90 a year in 2030 and by more than $370 a year in 2035."

"According to one analysis of the budget bill from Yale University's Budget Lab, while the top 1% of taxpayers would gain around $30,000 in annual income from the budget bill, the poorest Americans will lose about $700."

"KFF, a nonprofit health policy organization, estimates that the megabill’s provisions will lead to 1.7 million Texans losing their healthcare coverage, adding to the nearly 5 million children and adults under 65 who currently lack health insurance.".
Big win for Texas. Texas will finally get reimbursed for the billions we spent on securing the border when the Biden-Harris admin refused. Thank you, @realDonaldTrump, for standing with Texas.

Why do I think I can stop Greg Abbott?. Because Texans are tired of watching billionaires and corporate interests take over our great state. It's time for working folks to take our government back and make it work for us.

Lots of people tell me that, as a Texan, I shouldn't speak out against Trump and his terrible policies and leadership if I want to be governor. But I say what I believe, and I believe this president is very unpopular because he's hurting us. Actively hurting us.
New - Trump approval poll (18-29). 🟤 Disapprove 62% (+30).🟢 Approve 32%. ActiVote #B - 6/30.

I'm worried for our country today. I'm worried about Texas. People will lose their healthcare. Clean energy jobs will never come to fruition. The loss of weather forecasting tools that save so many lives. It's time to call our House reps and say VOTE NO:

Sure is a lot of jobs they're trying to kill in Texas.
If the House passes their big bill, they would be voting to cancel thousands of energy projects over the next decade. There's a reason that trade unions are calling this "the biggest job-killing bill in history."

You can't put a hat on a toaster and call it a cowboy.
A robot wearing a cowboy hat turned heads as it was spotted running through downtown Austin, Texas, in June. The cowboy bot has received a lot of attention from local press with citizens posting their sightings and interactions with it. As of the time of writing, it was not known

Sure would be nice to live in a state that prioritizes the health of its people. Instead, Texas has the most uninsured in the country.

My team tells me that today is a fundraising deadline, which seems REALLY unfair given that we just launched this campaign, but rules are rules. Please donate so we can keep going!

@BobbyForTX Another one : you can’t win Governor’s race because of gerrymandering. You can’t gerrymander a statewide election!.
