MUST WATCH: James Talarico went on Fox News and asked, “If Republicans' policies are so popular, why do they have to cheat?” and they couldn’t answer.

16.09.2025 01:54 — 👍 4 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Texas Republicans are forcing a vote on their rigged election maps.
If they knew they could win the election — they wouldn’t be stealing 5 congressional seats.
This is a blatant, racist power grab.
HB 4 is a desperate power grab by a scared man and his scared party.
It was written in secret, pushed through in chaos, and built entirely on intimidation.
But they’re not scared of me. They’re scared of you — the people — rejecting their lies and failed agenda.
“House Bill 4 is not about representation. It’s not about fairness.
It is a desperate, mid-decade power grab.
Engineered in Washington, executed in Austin, and paid for by the Texans we’re supposed to represent.”
In a comprehensive — and cheeky — ruling, a judge said the law “crosses the line from exposure to coercion.”
“For those who disagree with the court’s decision and who would do so with threats, vulgarities and violence,” he wrote, “grace and peace unto you.”

Nicole Collier is a duly elected State Representative who is standing up for her constituents.
She is being detained by a party trying to silence the voice of millions of Texans.
And the American people are responding with disgrace for Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans.
Texas Democrats are fighting for the American people.
We’re against gerrymandering — period.
But if Republicans cheat, we will fight fire with fire.
I’m John Bucy — a Texas Democrat breaking quorum to deny Trump’s power grab.
Governor Greg Abbott and President Trump are working together to rig the election and manufacture a Republican majority in congress.
Here’s what you need to know about this quorum break:
Right now, I’m on a plane to Chicago.
We’re breaking quorum because we refuse to allow Donald Trump and Governor Abbott to rig congressional maps to cling to power.
If they’re going to try to cheat — we’re going to make it hurt.

Texas Republicans are trying to redraw the political map — again.
But this time, they’re doing it mid-decade, with no new census numbers, just raw political desperation.
My editorial with @expressnews.com outlines why this is a threat and what Democrats must do to fight back.
Texans are tired of hearing the same excuses from leadership when disasters turn deadly.
The power grid collapses, wildfires rage, flooding devastates communities — and no one takes responsibility.
Extreme weather is our reality, and it’s time we demand real, proactive solutions.
#TxDems are fighting like hell to protect our rights from Trump’s greedy hands.
#boost this content so they know we’re standing with them!! #DemCast #DemCastTX
The 89th legislative session was filled with Republican extremism, culture wars, and disproven conspiracy theories — but Texas Democrats never backed down.
We fought to protect Texans' rights, defend our democracy, and pass legislation to help everyday Texans.
Here’s the recap:
Special sessions are 30 days long and designed to address emergency items like this weekend’s devastating floods.
It’s not the time for culture wars or pandering to extremists.
We should focus on our emergency response systems to keep Texans safe and save the rest for 2027.
A veteran machinist and union leader who believes being a Democrat means waking the hell up and delivering real results.
30.06.2025 01:06 — 👍 35 🔁 11 💬 0 📌 1Trump said he'd "never cut Medicaid.”
But today, his priority bill slashed Medicaid by $1.1 TRILLION – leaving 11.8 million Americans without healthcare.
Republicans don’t give a shit about you.
Today, Medicaid-redesign proposals threaten Planned Parenthood access nationwide.
Let Texas be a warning: If Congress follows this playbook, healthcare access is at risk for millions.
Text CARE to 22422 and tell your Senator to stop the attacks on Planned Parenthood!
The Republican budget moving through Congress would defund Planned Parenthood nationwide.
We saw this play out in Texas in 2021: thousands lost preventive care and reproductive services.
Defunding Planned Parenthood doesn't save money — it costs lives.
BREAKING: Despite overwhelming evidence, Texas is again seeking Robert Roberson's execution.
The witnesses recanted their stories.
The science was disproven.
The lead detective is “ashamed.”
Robert is innocent and we must do everything to stop this miscarriage of justice.

SHAMEFUL: Texas just agreed to end in-state tuition for nearly 20,000 undocumented students.
That’s 20k young people who contribute to our economy, our research, and our innovation.
KenPaxton just bent the knee to fascism… again. The eyes of history are upon us. #texas
This fight hits home in House District 136.
The Red Line expansion through Williamson County is one of the first Project Connect upgrades.
No district in Texas is impacted more than ours.
HB 3879 was a backdoor attempt to silence Austin voters and derail Project Connect.
It died yesterday.
I’ll always fight for Austin and the transit future we voted for.
I want to congratulate Austin City Council for advancing a bold vision for our future.
I’ve already reached out to TxDOT to discuss their prospective funding — like they did with Klyde Warren Park in Dallas.
Austin deserves vibrant public spaces and a city that connects us.
As we near the last week of session, hundreds of bills are depending on action in the Senate.
That puts one lawmaker at the center of it all: Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.
As President of the Senate, the rest of the session is in his hands.
HISTORIC hearing on online voter registration in #Texas!
Rep. Bucy is one of Texas’ best voices on elections and voting rights.
