Dr. Kristin Hook for Congress

I ran an analysis of the 2024 election results and found that @jasmineforus.bsky.social turned out nearly DOUBLE the number of Democrats than any other congressional candidate in Texas between 2022 and 2024. This is important info for voters who believe we win Texas by turning out Democrats.

Thank you for flagging for me! This happened last year as well, and if you have any further information please feel free to email us at info@drkristinhook.org

ICE whistleblower comes forward to testify before Congress Ryan Schwank, a former ICE academy instructor, is expected to testify that ICE “is lying to Congress and the American people” about its training program.

Breaking MS NOW:

An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits.

Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

“Why Are We Funding This?” Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

ICYMI, last year I wrote an essay for American Scientist magazine defending funding basic research, even research that sounds silly when presented out of context. 🧪

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Thank you for allowing me to walk with you. We are part of the Blue Wave!

On a block walk to get out the vote for early voting, which starts TOMORROW here in Texas! Met a fellow resister and constituent today who I can’t wait to represent in #TX21! @decombest.bsky.social Let’s get ‘em!

I don’t think that boy is smart enough to read.

TX could have had @kristinhook.bsky.social
but instead self-destructively settled for this blockhead.

I quit my job as a federal scientist in 2023 to run for Congress and prevent this nightmare.

Over the last year, I’ve circled the drain with other brilliant scientists unable to find work for the first time in 25 years.

I’m running again. Help me win!

In this closeup of the shooting of Alex Pretti: You can see Alex Pretti being shot at point blank range in the back by an ICE agent. Alex Pretti's left hand is leaning on the ground. His empty right hand is by his side. Alex Pretti is not holding a gun in either hand and is not a threat to agents.

ICE HIRING EXPOSED

Under Trump and cowardly Republicans in Congress, our federal government has fired thousands of highly skilled public servants & scientists like me and is using a janky hiring process to onboard and arm untrained and violent people to unleash on our streets.

Nobody wants this.

They have also failed to update voter information for congressional districts that have changed under the new racially gerrymandered map - which is problematic for candidates to conduct voter outreach! 😡

but failed to provide the TX voters a written proof they are registered to vote. After redistricting voter may have been moved to a new district and that info is on the card.
This is voter suppression and a failure of SoS Jane Nelson. Before retiring, Nelson was my representative in the TX Senate.

Facebook message by the TX Secretary of state

The Texas Secretary of State admitted today that there will be a delay in the mailing of the voter registration cards. I know that Denton County will mail the cards in February with voters receiving them AFTER the deadline to register to vote. The SoS rushed to share the TX voting roll with the DOJ,

I’m honored - thank you!!

Extraordinary photo and photojournalist.

Imagine being attacked on all sides and still having the presence of mind to try to save evidence of the oppressive encounter.

My whole life, fascism was defined as being stopped by armed, masked agents of the national government who demand your papers, on pain of arrest, injury, or death.

That’s now here, and the group of people who warned about that the most are either silent or in favor of it,

Ew.

KERNEN: How are you blaming Trump's policies for the affordability crisis when Biden had higher inflation?

WARREN: Trump's tariffs have driven up prices. Trump's energy policies have driven up prices. And Trump's decision to cut access to healthcare has doubled or tripled the cost of healthcare

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks
