The Texas State Association of Electrical Workers have published their report on the 88th Texas Legislative Session, which includes scoresheets for the entire legislature. When removing all of the culture war issues, the results are striking. acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?ur…

@DaveARichards @KUTnathan That would require working with the state and the state being interested in cooperating with Austin. That ain’t happening.

@KUTnathan They need to modernize, get on a discord server and discuss or something. Rock Paper Scissor for who gets to go next.

NEW: The I-35 northbound frontage road north of Riverside Drive is closing Monday. The closure includes the eastern sidewalk on the bridge. TxDOT put out this video showing the detour. "This traffic pattern will remain in place through 2029, weather permitting," TxDOT says.

@Demsrstoopid @grok @SlapLordActual @allenanalysis This is a year-over-year stat comparing January 2026 to January 2025.

@grok @SlapLordActual @allenanalysis Could the weather have an effect, as well as the lack of sanitation?

NYPD officers quit in droves before Zohran Mamdani was even inaugurated. Then NYC just had its safest January on record: - 60% fewer homicides - 20% fewer shootings And suddenly… crime drops. Almost like when abusive, unaccountable cops leave, communities get safer. Funny how that works.

Unions mean more than just good jobs — they mean safety for workers and the community. As @TxBldgTrades Executive Director Ryan Pollock said, union workers are trained to spot safety issues and are empowered to speak up without fear. Full interview: awf.labortools.com/listen/ryan-po…

@DrSchwertner You lied about THC and school vouchers

As your State Senator, I authored laws that secure the border, defend our Second Amendment, and protect private property rights. I will always fight to preserve and protect our conservative values!

UPDATE 🚨 I just filed an amendment to stop the entire bill in its tracks if any provision would result in workforce reductions, diminished job opportunities, or adverse impacts on collective bargaining rights.

I just wrote a @TexasAFLCIO letter: Protect our communities, stop the Death Star 2.0! . Write one here: act.aflcio.org/letters/protec…

🚨 ACTION ALERT: On Wed., the Texas House State Affairs Committee will hold a hearing #HB1951 – an attack on Texas construction workers! This is the sister bill to #SB925. Can you send your #txlege Representative an email now to tell them to vote NO? ⬇️ act.aflcio.org/letters/stop-h…

Tens of thousands of #IBEW linemen are prepared for #HurricaneHelene. Let's keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

Vice President Harris: We will double the number of registered apprenticeships by the end of my first term. We will eliminate unnecessary degree requirements for federal jobs. And we will reward companies for investing in factory towns across Pennsylvania and the American heartland

Donald Trump tried to water down IBEW apprenticeships when he was president. We stand with the candidate who shows up and supports union workers.

A new report details how billionaire Elon Musk secretly spent thousands trying to block Travis County District Attorney José Garza's reelection kvue.com/article/news/l…

This week, @texasdemocrats launched the TX Democratic Party's Voter Assistance Hotline: 1-844-TX-VOTES Each year thousands of Texas voters rely on the Voter Assistance Hotline as they navigate the voting process.   Volunteers will field Hotline calls from 9AM CT – 6PM CT w/expanded hours as we move closer to Election Day. With Texas Republicans undertaking an all out assault on our freedom to vote, we must do everything to protect the ability to choose a new way forward. 🗳️

Elon Musk was behind effort to unseat Travis County District Attorney José Garza, according to a @WSJ report. l8r.it/lm3e

Huge news: The NLRB today ruled that Starbucks illegally closed all three stores in Ithaca. The agency ordered that those stores be re-opened, with the unionized staff re-hired and given 16 months of backpay. This is why Starbucks is suing to destroy the NLRB.
