Julian #Assange's partner @StellaMoris1 outside the court "The story about the plans to assassinate and kidnap Julian from London will be discussed in court today."

Repro rights are under attack in TX. Voting rights are under attack in TX. Now, my marriage is under attack too. But these bully tactics don't scare me into backing down from the #txlege. I'll stare injustice straight in the face. Are you with me? https://t.co/IoEfXVnjpL

In less than a week, Texas' child welfare agency removed their suicide hotline for LGBTQ youth at Abbott’s request, and successfully banned trans kids from participating in school sports. Things are not okay in Texas.

Vote NO on Prop A. Even more proof that Prop A, if passed, would have an enormous negative impact on public safety as a whole, as well as other essential City services.

A minority can use the Electoral College to elect a president who loses the popular vote. A minority can gerrymander control of the House. A minority can stop the majority from governing the Senate. Does that sound like a successful democracy to you?

Because of Texas Republicans’ bill banning education on racism and sexism, Texas teachers are being pushed to add Holocaust denial into their curriculum. There is no place for antisemitism in the classroom, in Texas, or in our country. Enough is enough.

JUST PASSED: We extended my #COVID renter protection law through Dec 31. #ATX has the lowest eviction rate of major Texas cities in the pandemic, and we're going to keep it that way. ⬇️

Trump dismantled the USPS by installing a old FedEx exec with conflicting interests as post master general to limit urban mail in voting. A side effect of late ballots… late packages… on Xmas…

Wow, who’s going to tell her that you can’t transmit HIV by playing basketball??

You can see in the map below how Republicans drew Black and Brown communities (in green) with White rural communities (in blue). In a county that is only 55% White, Republicans gave White voters control over 100% of the State House districts.

@BriscoeCain How did you feel about @GovAbbott using the line item veto to defund the legislature? Did that feel like an appropriate separation of powers?

Tonight, Democrats voted to avert a default, which would have sent our economy into a tailspin.   Republicans instead proved they’re just fine with chaos, even a default – and the harsh consequences to families – if it moves them closer to power.

NEW: Footage resurfaces of Greg Abbott in March saying businesses “get to choose to operate their business the way they want to.” He just banned businesses from being able to require vaccinations for their employees.

On top of the voter suppression laws from @GregAbbott_TX and @TXGOPCaucus, gerrymandering of cities suppresses representation. Multiple calculated attacks on democracy from GOP in Texas in recent months leading up to the November election cycle…

Gerrymandering is voter suppression.

My House floor speech on approving legislation to cover massive costs incurred by the self-described “King of Debt” for wasteful tax expenditures that I strongly opposed.

NEW: An unidentified person has tried to burn down the Democratic Party headquarters in Austin, Texas.

So @LeaderMcConnell leads his caucus to unanimously oppose the debt ceiling increase he passed 3X under Trump, while he was adding $8 trillion in debt. And in the House, @GOPLeader is whipping his troops against a bipartisan infrastructure bill, passed by 67 senators.
