But this shows us that when people sit on a jury and listen to evidence under oath, the people have power to show what is wrong and call out defendants for their lies and deceitful acts. That’s a clear message of hope for our judicial system of trial by jury.
@thejackhopkins
They can play this anyway they want but facts are they violently pushed gaits down, pushed the officers and entered the Capitol when they were warned not to enter by law enforcement and barriers placed by law enforcement. And they did so with intent to stop the work of Congress
@KenPaxtonTX
Doctors have to be free in a medical emergency to exercise their “medical judgement.” It’s their ethical duty and they should not be forced to face a grand jury for possible indictment for doing so. It’s not political judgement, it’s medical judgment.

Any honest Justice would open all financial books to the public immediately to keep the public trust. They work for us. We don’t work for them.
@BetteMidler
Exactly. And many aren’t truly churches and some true churches push political agendas from the pulpit and should forfeit tax exemption. They should have to submit accounting for truly tax exempt acts they do. Justify their exemption like everyone else.
@TexasTribune
Texas is making a huge mistake forcing religion into all schools, government and public policy. This is against our US Constitution and it’s going to backfire.
@VABVOX
Why am I getting a feeling their Royal
Highnesses would be ecstatic
to be dissolved? It’s not like they need the money. They could keep their spoils and their heads.

@LqLana
How a woman’s body and her medical needs got to be the subject of public debate in these circumstances is just emblematic of failed policy and political greed.

Like the very legislators who outlaw abortion, if their daughter, girlfriend, or wife needs an abortion, you can bet they will accomplish it.
@jphicks
This man is using Texas tax payer money for this outrage. We need an injunction to prevent this precipitous spending of tax payer dollars. Our nutrition programs are behind and school funding not secured while he is advancing himself and the Christian nationalist agenda?
@TheRealThelmaJ1
It’s the Heritage Foundation’s decades long plans they intend to enact with their pawn Trump or other who is compliant and will bend their morals and principals to gain power and change our nation to a virtual dictatorship

@Acyn
The court won’t decide if Trump acted against our Constitution, so we will. We will find he is guilty and vote to sentence Trump to no second term. This is best because otherwise, were he to win, he would just pardon himself and the J6 criminals in all cases he can.
@GregAbbott_TX
@Scotus
This is the wrong decision. Stop pandering. People are not prevented from worshiping by not sitting for an hour in a closed room. Where was Jesus’ church building? That’s right. None. How far you stray in the interest of self power and glory.
@piper4missouri
I was poor in college. I went to the recruiters and said I wanted to be a fighter pilot. He said: “You girls have to work in the office,”
SCOTUS is a servant of the state b/c we pay them to interpret our critical constitutional questions but Clarence Thomas is biased and disqualified in the j6 cases because he is sleeping with the states enemy: Ginni Thomas, who is an unindicted co-conspirator and case witness

@jasonllevin
As you can see by recent appointments, unfortunately, no experience on the bench is required. But Obama is a Constitutional Scholar and smarter than some and not biased which makes him very attractive but his talents will impact the world more forcefully in other ways.

@TPBlue4
Because he says: I’m a Catholic and i feel good about adoption. He can go home and run his life the way he wants but leave us alone.
@RBReich
Some church activities should absolutely be taxed. If they want to politic from the pulpit, receive school voucher public money, create a Christian nation, the organization needs to pay taxes on all non charitable activities. Can you even imagine the tax $ that would generate?
@SanAntoGuera
@GovAbbott
Abbott thinks Trump is going to win/get him a place at the table but it will never happen for Greg Despite that, common courtesy escapes the Gov. who has used Biden as a scapegoat and can’t face Biden. Very embarrassing all the way around. Or is Greg in Paris with crooked AG?
@briantylercohen
Is this the “freedom” they talk about or what? Looks like a catastrophe waiting to happen to us if she gets anywhere near any issue of security.
@GovAbbott
Texas has a minimum wage of $ 7.25. This is a reason Abbott calls this a business friendly state but these poverty wages mean we tax payers have to fund welfare for people to eat while businesses get away with slave labor and keep large profits for themselves.
@ClimateStacey

@SVanBL
Notice how Rs use denial to slip laws/EOs little by little then when there is an opening, they slam dunk with team SCOTUS. Yet Dems try one little smitgen of law to get some gun control in this country that still provides for gun owner protections and all hell breaks loose
This is the republicans who refuse to pay our teachers. Remember this video and vote them out. They are holding teacher pay hostage for their voucher bill. It’s just not right, ethical or fair to all our students and teachers.
@highbrow_nobrow
@Acyn
She must think the Trump strategy of ignoring law and authority is a winning court strategy before a Judge and jury. That strategy has never been on the list of winning trial strategies.
@highbrow_nobrow
@HeartlandSignal
Cartels drop them off then Abbott takes Texas tax payer funds, loads up the bus/private plane, gives them supplies and a promise and waves them bye bye sending them into the heart of our country. You forgot to add that cooperation.
@Reygo21
@ChrisCillizza
The one with 40 years of state and national government, I ternational relations and political experience has the clear advantage because that’s what qualifies a person for this job.
@RepLloydDoggett
Abbott is off track and refuses to represent the men, women and children of Texas. Now he is running a vendetta campaign against his own party members. Not a true public servant for Texas.
@LoneStarLeft
Well you know they helped fight for public schools to defend against the voucher scam. I respect that very much as it’s hard to take on the machine.
@TruthNinja316
@CameronTousi
The facts were already decided by first trial jury. They were without challenge here. Only if he did it again with malice etc. Listen to the jury questions and instructions rather than people’s opinions.
Concerned Parent in North Texas VOUCHES for Greg Abbott’s ongoing success in completely ANNIHILATING former Republican allies in rural districts in order to deliver unpopular voucher scam to his owners. 🤠👌🏻
@Miriam2626
Attorney for families had a good point about officers fear of the gun type shooter used. If only had a handgun instead of AR-15, would they have entered faster? Would they have entered and subdued instead of fearing the gun of war. Doesn’t get them off for dereliction of duty.
@madelinegmoran
@patriot92serena
Yes. Let’s have a secular solution so it applies to all and we don’t have to force God on people and violate the Constitution.

@POTUS
Wow. Had to eat tuna out of a can and sleep on my couch which was my only piece of furniture to pay the debt every month. Took ten years. I got a bed in there somewhere. I get you. It’s the right thing to do.
@RepLloydDoggett
Every time Abbott called a special session for a voucher vote, it costs 2-3 million $. It’s failed 4 times. That would feed quite a few Texans.
@DoomScroling
They know they have gone too far to secure the votes. Now they try to walk it back but we will not be fooled. Republicans own every abusive law they have passed against women’s rights and all their proposals for more are known to us.
@Marc_Kenyon
@RpsAgainstTrump
A person who manipulates and confuses facts and twists arguments to fit a particular situation at any given moment can’t be trusted to make decisions of extraordinary gravity required to run a country.
@GovAbbott
Tax dollars to schools that can refuse to admit or give accommodations to physically disabled and/or learning disabled students is a moral, ethical and legal tragedy.
Should be litigated to protect the rights of those harmed by this egregious law.
@AreMond2
He can do it. Even handed, super intelligent, well spoken, logical, competent, thoughtful and on the right side of history. Excellent public service. Thanks Pete.
@WendyHassonMD
It was even worse. The bookkeeper who attended salary meetings at my firm told me: “You worked more hours but they said they gave the year end bonus to Jim because he has a wife and child at home and you don’t.” Also
told me one partner moved some of my hours to his column.

@KenPaxtonTX
Yes. Ken please explain to the citizens of Texas why Republicans refuse to prosecute a Texas politician who has been under criminal indictment for years. Only “tough on crime” for people not you or your buddies?? How does that work?
@jimstewartson
He also was a major investor in an app to break up and sell US farm lands to domestic and foreign entities. No one can know this guy without seeing his full history and his relationship with Thiel. Get the facts out.
