As an ex prosecutor from Uvalde, I can say based on my past interactions with Uvalde PD, you will never know the truth about what went down in that school until every inch of video tape is released to the press.
As a Texas attorney, I am calling on the State Bar of Texas to immediately suspend Ted Cruz from the practice of law in Texas as he is trying to incite a revolution against the United States of America empowered by the license you gave him!

Dear Texas:
My Jewish grandmother survived the Holocaust but the rest of her family didn’t. She told me that the Nazis gained power by banning books that challenged their ideology and promotion of propaganda. I find it chilling that you choose to ban a Diary of the holocaust.
As a former Texas border prosecutor who specialized in sexual assault of children I prosecuted no undocumented citizens for child or adult rape. I did prosecute five American youth ministers.
I represented a 10 year old carrying her father’s child in Texas. She chose to terminate the pregnancy. This option no longer exists today in Texas. If I told her about her options to go to another state to get an abortion would I have been arrested today?
My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.
Dear Greg Abbott:
I am a criminal defense attorney. I promise you that if you try to imprison any woman for terminating an early term pregnancy, I will defend these women to my grave. I am impassioned, emboldened and enraged. So bring it on.
I can’t do this anymore. Trump clearly kept records that didn’t belong to him and jeopardized the national security of our country. As a criminal defense attorney I have clients that were indicted for stealing food to feed their children. How is this justice?
I am a liberal attorney living in Midland Texas. I am being politically persecuted by a judge in my county. The local talk radio station has a target on my back. But it’s more important than ever to stand your ground and tell your neighbors Trump is a criminal. Be brave folks!…
A female attorney in our firm who moved to TX attempted for a second time to get a TX drivers license. She brought he SS card her Colorado DL, two bills in her husband’s name and a certified birth certificate. She was turned away insisting they needed her marriage license.
I was raped on a date by a friend of my parents when I was a prosecutor. I didn’t want to be put through what my victims went through on the stand. I stayed calm because I thought he was going to kill me. I never reported it.
@ejeancarroll
is a brave woman.
Dear Chris Christie: The reason why school shootings with scores of dead children don’t resonate with Congress is because children don’t give money to politicians but the NRA does.
I don’t understand why it’s ok to regulate a woman’s body to save a fetus, but it’s not ok to regulate the sale of guns to save the life of a child.
#MassShooting
Since Abbott is sending refugees to VP Harris home, can I send my foster kids who are sleeping on the floors of Texas child protective services offices to the Texas Governor’s mansion ? 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you Greg Abbott! My ten year old pregnant incest victims in foster care will really appreciate the free diapers and baby wipes you are offering in exchange for removing abortion from their options.
#BetoforGovernor202
Looking back at that first Abbott news conference in Uvalde, it’s becoming clear that all of those Republicans on stage knew they were covering up a massive failure. When Beto confronted them, they went into full gaslighting mode.
Charlottesville should have been enough. Then Ukraine. Then Covid failure. Then Attack on our Capitol. If you don’t
#LeaveTheGOP
then you have no moral compass.
Beto held a rally in Odessa and their Republican state representative, encouraged people to surround the venue with AR-15’s to intimidate people from walking in. This is the closest I have personally witnessed to what my holocaust surviving grandmother described as fascism.
Dear Maggie Haberman, when a Republican Congress Subpoenaed Hillary Clinton, you didn't feature her in a fashion shoot and argue that her personal preferences override The rule of law.
Hope Hicks, one of the best-known but least visible former members of President Trump’s White House staff, is facing an existential question: whether to comply with a congressional subpoena
Dear Justice Roberts:
I am a lawyer who has a deep respect for our Supreme Court and you especially. While I don’t agree with every decision you made, I thought you were a moral man. Isn’t it time you admit to the American people that something is horribly wrong with the Court?
Explain to me why exceptions to Dobbs need to be carved out for those seeking 30 thousand dollar IVF treatments but not for 12 year old impregnated incest victims.
When Beto said on the presidential debate stage he wanted to take away AR-15s, he was ostracized by the press and mainstream Democrats. Today no body remembers that Beto was a trailblazer. I remember. And I say thank you.
Dear Governor Greg Abbott,
It’s amazing that Laken Riley has been mentioned by you so many times in the past weeks but I have yet to hear you utter once the name of Maite Rodriguez, who wore green sneakers when she was murdered in Uvalde.
Thread 1 of 2: A woman I had never met before messaged me on twitter last night. She was pregnant in the ER hemorrhaging waiting on a doctor. She believed she was having a miscarriage and wanted to know if she should leave without treatment for fear of being arrested.
Wow all these Republicans who are outraged by the FBI raid on Mar a Lago calling it government overreach while they prosecute women for medical procedures and the doctors who perform life saving procedures!
I am never moving from Texas. Not going to let the legacies of Molly Ivins, Barbara Jordan, Sarah Weddington and Anne Richards just eviscerate! And I’m getting

Dear Ted Cruz:
I live in Midland Texas, the heart of the Petroleum industry in The US. Midland and the oil industry is booming under Biden. And I sleep better knowing our country isn’t in the hands of a maniac. So yes I’m much better off.
Dear Meghan McCain,
Hunter Biden has accepted responsibility for his actions.
He had a really rough start to life losing his mother to tragedy
You literally were devastated after your dad’s passing.
Joe Biden is a dear friend of yours.
Your narcissism is truly pathetic.
I was in my vet’s waiting room and a big brawny guy comes out of a room with an empty harness and uncontrollable sobbing. And I immediately knew he just said goodbye to his best friend. And I just started sobbing too. I didn’t know him but I cried.
I’m not leaving Texas. Whatever happens I am not leaving. I will fight to get
@BetoORourke
elected. I will fight to restore
#AbortionRights
. I will fight for lBGTQ rights. I am liberal. I live in rural Texas. And I’m loud and I’m a great attorney. And Texas you are stuck with me.
I’m from Texas. I hate Dan Patrick. He’s so threatened by a woman of color becoming Vice President he is willing to pay a million dollars to bribe someone to overturn the election. He’s a racist just like Trump.
Just to be clear, the cabinet members resigning the day after January 6th confirm Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony that Trump was out of his mind. They didn’t resign out of love for their country. They didn’t want there to be enough members to invoke the 25th amendment.
I live in West TX. I’m a criminal defense attorney. I have seen a decline in Undocumented people being accused of crimes.
I’ve seen an increase in murders by guns. An increase in go fund me pages for sick Texans without insurance. Wake up America. You are being duped.
I'm an ex prosecutor who read the Mueller Report the day it was released. I love my country. This report is a treatise on how A grifter became President. If you love America you will read it as well.
#ReadTheMuellerReport
2) I told her to stay. That I knew people who worked there. That she should be ok. I gave her my cell in case they tried to arrest her or refused to treat her. I’m numb. Is this really happening?🤷🏻♀️
This little boy who always helps me walk my dogs at my condominium just got run over by a very drunk driver in front of my house. He’s hurt very badly . Please pray for him.
Dear Judge Merchan,
I am an ex prosecutor. Donald Trump is in serious violation of your pre trial order not to attack the credibility of witnesses. I know of no citizen who blatantly violates a judge’s rulings without consequence. Please jail Trump for the pendency of the trial.
Don't ever give up! I'm in the reddest of counties in Texas. I'm fighting on the front lines of Trump country. I'm out here saying This is not ok! They have guns. I have my voice!

@gtconway3d
George, I live in A very red part of Texas. One of the few places I can find solace is our local bar association lunches where almost all members agree that Trump is an existential threat to our country.
I am A Southern Democrat. Although I didn't vote for you, I hoped you would rise to the occasion and succeed. After Charlottesville, I knew that our country was in the hands of a maniac. I am not anonymous. I live in Red rural Texas . And I proudly resist you!
#DearPresidentTrump
My grandparents emigrated from Odessa, Ukraine. Three weeks ago I faced rifles at a Beto rally because I wanted to exercise my right to peacefully assemble in Odessa, Texas. I feel the best way to honor my Ukrainian heritage is to fight for Democracy in Texas.
#BetoForGovernor
I can’t bear to look at the names of the dead. I worked as an assistant DA in Uvalde. I am too angry. I am too tired. Beto needs to be our Governor. Beto was right. Crying.
Just came from Midland County Public Library where Cty. Commissioner Dianne Anderson was pulling “Offensive” books off the shelves and trying to intimidate library staff whom she can fire. Me and other attorneys showed up! It didn’t go well for her!
#MAGA
Eagle Pass is 40 miles from
Uvalde.
Not one of the Republican delegation that have made the trip to exploit Eagle Pass have stopped by Uvalde to visit the community to see how it’s coping. Nor has Elon Musk.
Greg Abbott tells Dana Bash he didn’t think through the consequences of passing the most draconian anti abortion law in the nation. Yea it’s hard to foresee consequences when you are laser focused on your Christo fascist agenda.
Trump stoking the hate right now against Latino immigrants. He's stating they are dangerous criminal aliens. Unbelievable after he inspired the 22 murders in El Paso. Beto is right. Trump will get more people killed.
#TrumpRally
People in rural Texas are afraid to publicly participate in Democratic Party events as well as demonstrations for gun safety and reproductive rights because they are afraid they will be shot. This is exactly what Republicans want.
I don’t understand why it’s ok to regulate a woman’s body to save the life of a fetus but it’s not ok to regulate the price of insulin to save the life of a diabetic. 🤷🏻♀️
🧵So a while back I posted I was being politically targeted by a local Republican judge. He filed a state bar grievance against me 8 months ago. On Friday it was summarily dismissed without a hearing. I have been under a great deal of stress.
I never thought I would say this. As a Jewish American. As a descendant of a holocaust survivor. As a person who loves Israel. But I believe it’s time to stop sending Israel arms and aid until Netanyahu is removed from power.
I read the Mueller report and all its footnotes. Most Americans didn’t. I read the Trump indictment. Most Republicans didn’t. As a former prosecutor this indictment is precise and includes enough evidence to find Trump guilty. Ignorance is bliss but knowledge is power.
The Mueller Report was written accurately and interpreted inaccurately by Barr. Nothing has changed. Trump is a Russian asset. Barr covered up for Trump. And Russia continues to infiltrate our elections today. There was no Russian hoax. It’s real folks.…
OK, let’s discuss.
The most significant thing that’s happened in America in the last decade is Putin’s successful penetration of Trump and the Republican Party.
Dear Rick Santorum, The gunman shot 49 people in the least gun controlled open carry state in the union and in an open carry Wal Mart without one shot fired back on him. Open carry did not keep these people safe!

Trump holding Labor Day news conference and never thanks the American workers. He hates Our military and our workers.

#TrumpPressConference
I’ve been warning you. I live in red rural Texas. The threats against Judge Chutkan are not surprising as they come from a woman in rural red Texas. The racist indoctrination promoted in schools and media combined with access to guns creates a true danger to our democracy.…
Oh my Gosh! The irony of Bill Barr complaining about Chuck Todd's editing when the Mueller Report said the exact opposite of what Barr summarized! We STILL haven't seen the whole report!!!!
Greg Abbott is flooding Midland Texas with advertising without one mention of Uvalde. Not one mention of how to keep our children safe in school. He thinks he can buy another term. He thinks we will forget. We won’t.
As a 17 year child abuse prosecutor, I can tell you animal cruelty is directly linked to sociopaths. Also those that abuse animals are extremely likely to abuse children.
As a former prosecutor I indicted 7 Christian youth ministers for sexual assault and 0 undocumented immigrants in border of Texas!
#ExposeChristianSchools
Since Greg Abbott is sending undocumented immigrants to Vice President’s Harris house to be fed, can I send all the hungry Texas children who are citizens to the Governor Greg Abbott’s mansion to be fed?
Hey the voter turnout for young people in Texas when Beto ran against Greg Abbott was abysmal. Now they have lost their right to reproductive health care and their right to protest. Elections have consequences.
Welcome to Texas where: Texas Freedom Caucus sends law firm letter and threatens to disbar attorneys who aid in abortions also will send special prosecutors to cities where DA’s refuse to prosecute. They are going to arrest attorneys who help. Fuck them. Come and get me!
🧵I lived in Uvalde. I was a former assistant DA there. A few things you need to know.
1) The Oasis: where gun was purchased is a cafe and store where AR-15’s are displayed like Monet’s at a gallery.
A March 2023 Tribune investigation found that officers responding to the Uvalde shooting were intimidated by the shooter’s military-style rifle.
It drove their decision to wait for a Border Patrol SWAT team to engage him, which took more than an hour.
So I’m sort of puzzled.
Why weren’t there massive protests at the University of Texas when voting rights were taken away?
Uvalde?
When abortion was taken away?
When Texas shut planned parenthood?
And why didn’t the young people vote?🤷🏻♀️
I’m a Texan. I don’t own a gun. I lived through the Midland massacre. My friend’s brother was murdered. I am a former Uvalde prosecutor and know the spouse of the teacher that was killed. I faced assault rifles at the Odessa Beto rally town hall. Beto will win.
#MorningJoe
I’m feeling an upset in Texas. I’m feeling a Beto win. So many people just staying focused and voting for Beto. These are traditional Republicans who know Abbott is a dysfunctional narcissist. We got this.
Given the open defiance of the Supreme Court and the weaponization of the Texas National Guard against the federal Government, I do not doubt that Greg Abbott rigged the election against Beto. He has proven this week he will illegally abuse his powers.
Two weeks ago I adopted Melania out of the city animal shelter. She is very old. She was covered in fleas, very weak from malnutrition and extremely dirty. She had 72 hours before they put her down. Today she is a happy dog and loves her toy, Lambchop!
#MakeADogsDay
Dear
@cnn
@msnbc
:
I just wanted to let you know that not ALL Texans are heartless. Abbott’s win over Beto can be directly tied to the defeat of the Voters Rights Act which made it next to impossible for Beto to win Texas. Most Texans are disgusted Greg Abbott.
There is no such thing as Democratic extremism. Democrats don’t push issues that kill people. Democrats are not in favor of indoctrination of religion on others. Democrats do not want to stop people from voting. Don’t fall for the false equivalence that the right is pushing.
I have 17 years of prosecutorial experience. After reading Mueller's report, It is obvious Trump committed and continues to obstruct justice today.
#IndictTrump
When I think of Liz Cheney, I keep coming back to this “To Kill a Mockingbird” quote:
“instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
The man who asked his wife who was literally waking up from anesthesia from cancer surgery to sign off on divorce papers is defining “holy” for America.🤷🏻♀️
Is President Biden literally out of touch with reality? Why would he take Christianity’s Holiest Day, Easter, and declare it to be “Transgender day of Visibility ”? We would be irritated whenever he did it but doing it on Easter is an obscene insult to every Christian.
These attorneys like Jenna Ellis who weaponized their bar licenses to overthrow our government should never be allowed to practice law again. It should be mandatory that they surrender their bar licenses as a condition of the plea offer.
