@KenPaxtonTX The only thing you need to run for is the hills. #loser #cheater #votehimout

For years, John Cornyn has betrayed President Trump and the America First movement. Texas deserves better, and that’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate. Join me in the fight: KenPaxton.com

@nicksortor What about when there’s a school shooting? Congress men and women shot down in their home? They are not memorialized like this! #shame

🚨 WOW! NASCAR just had an EPIC flyover while honoring Charlie Kirk on the big screen before their race at Bristol Motor Speedway The crowd broke out in BIG cheers when Charlie appeared Loving every single one of these clips!

@GregAbbott_TX when are you going to start telling the truth??? Educators NEVER said “we don’t want your money!” We said, and please listen closely, WE DON’T WANT PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDS GOING TO PRIVATE ENTITITIES. You need to go! #ledbyliars #novouchers

Why are longtime conservative educators like me (lifelong R voter who voted for Abbott), posting and sharing this video? Here is why: Last Fall @GovAbbott recognized the statewide shortage of teachers, calling a special commission to address the issue. He was focused on public ed. But then, at some point he became fixated on vouchers and launched his Private school only tour where he began denouncing public ed calling us “Educrats” and indoctrinators. His actions were then echoed by many in #txlege who began affirming their west texas donors. They started clout chasing voucher lobbyists (with photo ops, using their catchphrases) and blasting public school supporters as Anti Family and Anti-Freedom. Then came the actual voucher bills in March. The bills did not (and do not) actually guarantee any choice for parents. That could be remedied, but instead they created a choice only for the schools. Further they exempted private schools from all the accountability and other compliance mandates which were being used to criticize schools. “PubEd test scores are bad”—but voucher bills removed state testing requirements “PubEd schools have too many admin”-but voucher bills exempted all the compliance, reporting, and mandates that require more admin etc. Then there were the actual bill hearings where many #txlege used their time to fawn over lobbyists while blasting actual fellow conservative public school leaders The icing was the recent public admission that the Governor is dangling any raise for teachers as a “carrot” for getting vouchers passed. So here we are. Me, a long time R voter with Public, Private, and Charter service now finding alignment with the remaining pro public ed republicans and also leading Democrats, but largely abandoned by the state leadership.

We did it. We just defeated Greg Abbott's voucher scam. The People’s House has spoken. I’m so proud of the bipartisan coalition in the Texas House that defended our schools and our kids.

.@GovAbbott called lawmakers back for a FOURTH special session. Specials are supposed to be used in extraordinary circumstances — not to push an extreme partisan agenda that hurts Texans. The Governor is wasting our time and your money — setting a dangerous precedent for Texas.

@jamestalarico PLEASE RUN FOR GOVERNOR!!! The people of around Rock are so lucky to have you!!!

Last summer, news broke that Greg Abbott ordered state troopers on the border to “push small children back into the Rio Grande.” I passed an amendment to ban this inhumane practice. Tonight, Texas Republicans REMOVED that amendment — and they couldn’t even tell me why.

@tgdlmorgan @GregAbbott_TX Do your research! Teachers in Texas aren’t allowed to have unions! #ignorant

@GregAbbott_TX It’s not about voters. It’s about doing the right thing. School choice will force underperforming schools, teachers, and administrators to raise the bar and that benefits all students….but especially minorities. Maybe even un-hamstring them from the teacher Union!

Black Texans back school choice. If Republicans unite for education freedom, it could be an earthquake at the ballot box & a historic shift for Texas. This is an opportunity to bring new voters to our party. Now is the time for school choice in Texas. dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…

@GregAbbott_TX You may want to spin it this way, but you KNOW your vouchers only will serve the well-to-do. Stop abusing your power and acting like a mad dog!

Parents know and love their children better than anyone else. School choice gives them the freedom to make the best decision for their child’s education. Texas must put mom and dad back in charge.

@BucyForTexas Thank you! Vouchers are a SCAM!

We did it! Vouchers are dead… again. The pro-public education coalition in the Texas House has defeated Abbott’s latest voucher scam. This is a huge win for Texas students, teachers, and our neighborhood schools!

Hey @GregAbbott_TX , calling multiple special sessions is NOT because you lost and are mad, they are for extraordinary occurrences. You are showing an abuse of power. GET OVER IT! Accept it and lose gracefully! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@GregAbbott_TX Just another example of how our “governor” can follow the laws himself. Hey Greg, ever heard of separation of church and state? #loser teachthevote.atpe.org//Our-Blog/Late…

@teachergoals PIVOT!!!

Put your response below! 👇

Who knew that simple baking soda and vinegar could make for FASCINATING observations?!? Disguised as mystery substances, students were focused on using their senses to make detailed discoveries. #sciencerules #beverlylearns @StrongBobcats @PISDLearns #fifthgrade @PISDeas

@GovAbbott Also, parents have ALWAYS been able to choose retention and have access to school libraries and curriculum. You’re trying to legislate things that are already there!

New laws I signed will help protect parental rights in education: ✅ Access to school libraries & curriculum ✅ Support students with special needs ✅ Let parents decide if a child should repeat a grade To fully empower Texas parents, we MUST deliver school choice for all.

@GovAbbott Hey @GregAbbott_TX , let’s talk about how TEA put this moron in charge of HISD who just removed all services for students with autism. How does that support students with special needs?

This week we have been focusing on the regions of the US and the characteristics that connect them. By shading physical maps and analyzing natural resources, Bobcats are making deeper connections. @StrongBobcats #Beverlylearns #fifthgraderocks

@GregAbbott_TX OMG @GregAbbott_TX !!! You are a broken frickin’ record! You should know, as the governor, PARENTS ALREADY HAVE SCHOOL CHOICE! Your stupid vouchers have already failed four times! Give it up!! #abbottsnogood #giveupalready #youneedtogo

Urban, suburban, & rural Texans agree: NOW is the time for school choice in Texas. Giving parents the ability to choose the education pathway that is best for THEIR child puts all children on a path to success. When parents have a choice, students thrive.

@GregAbbott_TX Governor, thief, and murderer. #shameful #shameonyou #reactiveNOTproactive tiktok.com/t/ZT8YPFs8n/
