Do the university presidents next

Elon Musk has Ukrainian blood on his hands. He needs to come in and explain what the hell happened when he altered a global conflict with the flick of a switch.
See you in January, @elonmusk.

I stopped by Renee and Alex’s memorials today and was inspired to see all those who showed up to pay their respects and leave an “I voted” sticker.
We have not forgotten. Accountability is coming.

Greg Abbott enjoyed — and abused — emergency powers to reward campaign donors with $1 billion in no-bid state contracts.
This is the exact type of politics Texans overwhelmingly rejected on Tuesday in historic fashion.
State Rep. Brian Harrison argues that Texas law grants the governor sweeping emergency powers that should be restricted before Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa is sworn in. usatoday.com/story/news/stat…

Texas, meet your new Land Commissioner @BenFloresTX. He's vowed to fight border wall construction in the Big Bend region on state land, which makes up a substantial part of the border, vowing a "prolonged legal battle to protect it."

Wow. Thank you to the NFL for celebrating the story of an Afghan ally during tonight’s game, especially in the face of Trump’s cruel treatment of Afghans in the US. We should welcome and protect people like Khalid Noori.

A few days ago, Russia killed 53 people by dropping glide bombs on an underground shelter in Komyshuvakha, Ukraine, where civilians were hiding.
Dozens are still missing.
And somehow, people are outraged that russian hockey players are banned from competing in Canada.
Thank you, Canada!

To the DEMS: Family reunification. Shutting down concentration camps. ICE? Trials for lawbreakers who didn’t respect due process. No masks. The Epstein Files. And the wall. And can they replant trees so that this moment is remembered 100 years from now on the border.

“Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.”
So we’re admitting Abbott has been given essentially the power of a dictator the past 11 years?
🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!
Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.
We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.
I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!
Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable.
Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.
Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim!
Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.
The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.”
My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:
1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes
2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order
3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected
4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored
5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review
We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.
I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.
The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.

House Democrats are in the fight to bring government back from the brink of authoritarianism. We will shine a light on President Trump's quid pro quo, coin-operated, pay-to-play corruption and renew American government as an instrument for the common good.

A new day is coming. Soon we'll have leadership who understand just what Big Bend means to all Texans and all Americans, leaders who aren't afraid to fight for it. We've got a lot of work to, but if we do it right, we can send the dozers packing for good.
