When we talk about affordability in the #txlege, we absolutely have to include insurance costs in that discussion.

After 30 years of Texas tort “reform,” Texans are struggling. 📈 Higher insurance rates 🏚️ Unpaid claims 💰 Nuclear insurance profits Texans can’t afford more of the same. #txlege

"The cost of cheap freight is simply too high when it's paid in human lives." 30 years of tort "reform" has not made Texans safer. In fact, more people are killed in large truck wrecks on Texas roads than any other state - by far. #txlege nytimes.com/2026/04/24/opi…?

The Watchdog @DaveLieber reports: "Higher premiums + lower paid claims = record profits and excessive CEO compensation packages." 30 years of tort "reform" and Texans are still facing these problems. Texans need real reform - not more of the same broken promises. #txlege dallasnews.com/news/watchdog/…

What has 30 years of tort “reform” delivered for Texans? 📈Soaring insurance costs 🚛Deadliest roads in the nation ⚠️Among the most dangerous workplaces 🏥Preventable harm still putting patients at risk Texans deserve better. It’s time for real reform — not more of the same. #txlege

Chameleon carriers are four times more likely to be involved in crashes, according to data from a risk assessment firm, Fusable.

“We’re going to make sure the courthouse doors are open and that human beings - jurors - not AI and insurance companies make decisions.” Listen to the full convo with @MichaelBerrySho ▶️ ktrh.iheart.com/featured/micha… #txlege

📈After 30 years of so-called tort “reform,” Texas home insurance rates are rising faster than inflation - more than twice as fast, in fact. Where’s the relief? #txlege

This DNC Member believes we have to have the honest, adult conversation and that starts with the release of the after action report we were promised. #releasethereport

I’m grateful to House Democratic Leader @hakeemjeffries, Whip @TeamKClark and Caucus Chair @PeteAguilar for their endorsement and full faith and trust in my work for North Texas. Their support reflects the work I’ve done in Congress — delivering results and staying focused on the job. At a moment when our caucus needs members who can both compete and deliver, I’m proud to have their confidence and ready to keep doing the work ahead. #tx33 #imwithjulie

@ampsertx Us too…our house in Circle C (south Travis Co.) goes to the coast.

I live in Buda, TX a fast growing suburb of Austin, TX. The proposed map puts it in a district with Matagorda Co located ON THE GULF OF MEXICO. In what world does this make sense? #txlege

@moodyforelpaso Agreed. We need a message, inspiring, yes, economic with the right tone and empathy, certainly, NOT just a messenger and performance art.

To the extent Dems want to win in Texas, we need to understand that people want true and burning authenticity. They don’t want a simple box check on a podcast interview or a viral video. They want us to be real…not just to mimic what’s worked for the right. Carry on. #txlege

@moodyforelpaso @JaredLPatterson I’m in. Done. Thank you! cftexashillcountry.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/che…

Tragedy isn’t partisan, & neither is helping our fellow Texans. @jaredlpatterson and I are giving to help families affected by this disaster, & we’re asking others to do the same. There are hurts that money can’t fix, but this is one part of easing what burdens we can. #txlege

Watch this! The best explanation I’ve seen about our economy’s dependence on immigrant labor and our dysfunctional pathway to citizenship. #txlege

@samcornale Don’t sleep on Texas!
