State Republican Executive Committeeman - SD15 @texasgop | volunteer grassroots activist | working stiff with a regular day job
Joined July 2014
Two Republicans are running for #txlege speaker. Here's the only four things you need to know: . 1) David Cook - not Dustin Burrows - was nominated by the House GOP caucus. 2) David Cook - not Dustin Burrows - was singled out by the House Democrat Caucus as the one speaker.

The Texas House GOP majority was never more in danger than in 2020 and no seat was more primed to flip to the Democrats than HD 138. So many grassroots activists (myself included) worked so hard to help @LaceyHullTx beat the odds in HD 138 and keep the House in GOP hands.

The fact that Kay Granger is unable to leave her nursing home to participate in the most important congressional vote of the year suggests she was already in visible decline when she ran for re-election in 2022. A sad and humiliating way to end her political career. Sad that.

One of Trump’s greatest achievements is exposing the extent to which the professional GOP apparatus - staff, consultants, lobbyists, etc. - is infested with people who fundamentally hate their own voters. Many of them privately see GOP voters as contemptible people to be mocked.
It’s amazing how many high-ranking staffers to the former Republican president and nominees are on this list. Reveals how hostile they always were toward actually implementing conservative policy instead of just using it for campaign talking points.

@MattShaheen @TexasGOP Disagree. Those who walked out of the GOP caucus to cut a deal with Dems to elect a speaker are the greatest threat to party unity. If allowed to succeed, they will effectively nullify the GOP majority in the House that Republicans worked so hard to achieve. The Texas GOP can’t.

No matter how they spin it, this week didn’t go the way impeachment supporters thought it would. Not surprisingly, a case put together by politicians who “practice law” by getting hired by #txlege special interests is falling apart when subjected to scrutiny.
For those not following the @KenPaxtonTX impeachment trial and want to know how it’s going, the main talking points from impeachment supporters are:. 1. They don’t need to prove Paxton committed a crime, and. 2. You don’t need evidence of a crime to report one.

The developer of America’s largest illegal alien settlement is a 7-figure donor to Abbott. Dick Weekly & TLR donors, BY FAR the biggest $$ players in Texas politics, built their fortunes on cheap illegal alien labor. This is why we get toy buoys instead of E-Verify #txlege.
But what about Trey Harris, the developer behind Colony Ridge?. Harris is a big political donor, giving $1.4 million to Gov. Abbott's campaign while his wife gave another $100k.
