These people are whacked out.
I'm seriously in shock. I don't know what just happened in my country. What I know is that our children are no longer safe. Our borders are gonna be wide open. We're gonna have a state income tax. Our churches, Christianityโit's all gone. And let's not even talk about public education. What did we just do?
Weird how they pretend not to care about the deficit and gas prices when a Republican gives tax cuts to trillionaires and billionaires and starts more wars. But when Democrats win they suddenly want us to fix all the shit they tear apart, overnight.
Republicans always want Democrats to play by different set of rules. They're okay yielding their power, but the minute we try to do that in the same way they can't handle it.
๐จ I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERSโฆ before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!
Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.
We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.
Iโve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!
Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniableโฆ and inaction is intolerable.
Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.
Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws โ including criminal laws โ on a whim!
Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.
The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that โNever ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.โ
My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:
1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes
2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order
3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected
4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored
5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review
We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.
I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.
The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.

Terrified of WHAT? Nobody wants to exclude Jewish people, we just don't want them to be the EXCLUSIVE minority that is fully protected in this country. Learn the difference.
TN is on the verge of a political revolution. @Jerri_M_Green & @Justinjpearson were a huge part of this effort. We are just getting started.

PROJECTION: Progressive Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat, holding it for Democrats in a state Trump won by 1 point in 2024. This was a crucial hold for Democrats, with most Senate battlegrounds on considerably redder turf.

This will prevent another session with extreme Republicans holding unchecked power and help Indiana Democrats protect Indiana families.
