My name is Jon Rosenthal. I’m a career engineer, not a career politician. Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for the Texas Railroad Commission, one of the most corrupt offices in our state.

Together, we’ll clean up the Railroad Commission and return it to the people.

Texas House Democrats breaking quorum isn’t on the taxpayer dime, but Greg Abbott’s stunt to punish them in court is.

We are literally paying for his baseless talking points.

Governor Abbott filed a lawsuit to remove Democrats from office for breaking quorum to stop Republicans’ racist redistricting scheme.

The lawsuit is stupid, but we’re entering into dangerous territory.

Chip in, help our State Reps keep fighting & continue the quorum break: StopTheTexasSteal.com

Texas Democrats don’t take orders from Donald Trump— we take them from the people of Texas.

I’m in route to Illinois to join our legislators, and I hope you’ll join me in supporting them in their effort to defend our democracy here: secure.actblue.com/donate/tdp_r...

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.

Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.

It’s time to fight back.

Well, they do need more and better press coverage. Maybe scheduling and announcing where and when will help. And yes, I'm aware I'm grasping at straws here.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Important Message from Meidas Co-Founder By Ben Meiselas

We are dealing with a Trump “regime” and not a “government by the people and for the people.” The Trump regime is “against the people.” The “government” is already shut down by Trump. Do not support a CR that is complicit with an authoritarian regime.
