Abbott thought he could silence Black and Latino Texans with his redistricting scheme. He was wrong. We fought back — now other states, starting with California, will neutralize their power grab. We'll be back when our conditions are met, with our legal team ready. #txlege

New: 501c4 group @UnrigOurEconomy will launch a "multi-million dollar ad campaign targeting 4 Texas congressional districts likely to be made more competitive" if maps are redrawn. Here are the ads, this first joint one against @Lancegooden & @Bethvanduyne in #TX05 & #TX24:

@mcpli Will you be posting a 2024 version of this pie chart? It is an extremely useful tool for voter registration.

Another look at who voted (and didn’t) in Texas in 2020. #txlege

In 2020, Joe Biden got 59% of the vote in Texas’ big 5 metro counties, 55% in the big 5+suburban Texas, and 52% in the 30 largest counties (where 78% of Texas voters live). Donald Trump pulls ahead because Biden gets totally shellacked in the rest of the state. #txlege

BREAKING: Vice President Kamala Harris made an early arrival in Houston today to get a briefing on the region’s recovery efforts from Hurricane Beryl. trib.al/F9weDWI

NEWS: Vice President Kamala Harris will be coming to Houston on Thursday and speaking at the American Federation of Teachers national convention at 10am, per source. Last might she eclipsed the majority mark in support from DNC delegates, making her the presumptive Dem nominee.

I am usually laser focused on local & state politics, but I woke up yesterday feeling hopeful about the Presidential election for the first time in a long time. I actually can’t wait to get volunteer events up and running to support Kamala Harris for POTUS. This is HARRIS County!

Vice President Harris: Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda... Can you believe they put that thing in writing? Read it. It’s 900 pages. When you read it, you will see Donald Trump intends to cut Social Security and Medicare, give tax breaks to billionaires, end the Affordable Care Act, and more. We are not going back!

Project 2025 is the most un- American platform since succession. It must be stopped.

Your vote has never been more powerful, your reminders to friends have never been more powerful than in this low turnout election! Time to flex!

Thank you @Jon_RosenthalTX! Turnout is just over 1% right now. A vote tomorrow has the same weight as 55 votes in the 2020 presidential election. So basically, if you get 3 friends to vote, that’s like getting 165 friends to vote in the 2020 presidential. Vote. Text your people.

1/2: Today, organizations like @woorijuntostx, @TXCivilRights, @StopTxDOTi45, @HLGBTQCaucus, @indivisibleHOU, @cairhouston, @HoustonDSA, @HoustonCVPE, @TXGRAlliance, @UNITEDWEDREAM, @workersdefense,@BLMHOU, and many others came together to tell Houston’s Mayor to do much better.

I look forward to working with Republicans to restore voting rights for people with felony convictions. #TrumpVerdict

What Jay said!!! This includes many of our team leaders!!!

What does Vivian King know about Defeated Outgoing DA Kim Ogg's likely decision to collaborate with the Attorney General? Do Harris County Democratic Primary voters really want the Chief of Staff of Kim Ogg's office to be a judge?

Still going on the 5/4/24 Harris County special election. Why do I care about elected seats on the Harris County Appraisal District Board, when their power is so limited? 1) Mark your calendars now 2) Read on - a thread. 1/ #HouNews #HouVote #HarrisCountyHustle
