Texas public schools get a basic allotment of $6,215 per student. Private-school vouchers? $10,474.
After years of barely increasing basic funding for public schools, Texas politicians found billions for private-school vouchers.
And the state’s own dashboard shows only 17.38% of voucher recipients attended public school in grades 2–12 the previous year.
We aren’t funding school choice, we are subsidizing private-school tuition with taxpayer dollars while public schools struggle.
Greg Abbott did this. Vote him OUT.
.@DonHuffines launched the TEFA Transparency Dashboard so that Texans can “see how their tax dollars are being spent.” Groups under 10 students are masked; his office notes this “prevents individuals from being identified.”

I did not do the Jeffrey Epstein investigation alone. I had the support of @MiamiHerald —it’s then executive editor, Mindy Marques; and these two incredible journalists, investigations editor Casey Frank and visual journalist Emily Michot. Thank you to all the courageous victims who shared their stories with me, and to those on the Pulitzer Board who made this honor of a lifetime happen. #pulitzerprizes

New: Gov. Greg Abbott must let his political opponent, Gina Hinojosa, review more than 1,000 pages of his unredacted communications with Elon Musk, a Travis County Dem judge rules.
Abbott likely to appeal before Hinojosa reviews anything. #txlege

Under Greg Abbott’s leadership, more than 170 Texas public schools have closed in the last three years alone.
For the sake of our children, Greg Abbott needs to go.

“In late spring 2020, a source I knew to be reliable called me with a story,” writes Matthew Cole. “The Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner’s phone and monitored him as he accessed a Dubai-based bank account. What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man. The story sounded preposterous, I told my source. And yet.
Six months later, I found myself speaking with someone else about the UAE government and their use of mercenaries in conflicts around the Middle East and Africa when I asked, on a whim, whether they knew anything about Kushner and bank transfers from a UAE account. My acquaintance grew quiet. Then they replied, ‘Yes.’” Kushner’s lawyer denied the bank account existed.
