Trump isn’t the only one who has taken to extreme flip flopping lately. Greg Abbott’s beating him at that sport. But Gina Hinojosa’s not playing. Since day one, she’s been serious about protecting Texans from data centers & other threats Abbott has invited in. open.substack.com/pub/lonestar...

Pete Hegseth wants to make sure service members have the “right testosterone levels” for optimal performance. Is this what he has in mind? Thanks to @DanPuzello on IG for making me laugh

Todd Blanche chose the political protection of Donald Trump over the protection of the survivors of the worst crimes imaginable. Any senator that votes to confirm Todd Blanche as AG is complicit in the Epstein Files cover up. Read more reasons to #BlockBlanche: open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

📆THIS WEEKEND: While they: • Attack voting rights • Let ICE gun down our neighbors • Raid voter registration orgs We: • TEACH the history • REACH our communities • PREACH the good word #GoodTrouble starts now. 🗳️

💔 How many of us have similar stories? Of parents and grandparents who worked to give their children the American Dream? Houston, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was our neighbor. He should be here. We demand transparency, an independent investigation, and justice.

This is that Calvinball Ketanji Brown Jackson warned us about. FIFA doing the SCOTUS thing.

Justice Jackson is my Lady Liberty this Independence Day. As our Democracy clings to her for dear life, I celebrate and salute her courage, honesty, integrity, erudition, and talent as a communicator. God bless America and God bless Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. open.substack.com/pub/chrisgei...

Patriots, today, we celebrate winning. 🦅🇺🇸✊ open.substack.com/pub/thefucki...

Trump removed Maduro, but left in place the same corrupt, repressive regime. The only difference is they give him what he wants. Now the regime is blocking aid and recovery, and Venezuelans are begging Trump to intervene. Can he hear them on his Quatari jet? Doesn’t he want his own Nobel?

Republicans found billions for war and a golden ballroom but nothing for our kids’ education or healthcare. They keep proving where their loyalty lies, and it’s not with us. We remember this math in November. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

TX Republican Troy Nehls just said 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck “maybe don’t work as hard” as him, while bragging about eating lobster tails & ribeyes. We’re choosing between rent & groceries but corrupt Republicans say we’re just lazy. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

Pretty sure this is the video

Citizens United continued: SCOTUS’ ruling in NRSC v. FEC effectively allows individuals to contribute millions to a candidate’s campaign. This further shifts power & influence toward the wealthiest, & benefits the GOP, since Dems get more small-dollar donations. open.substack.com/pub/messageb...

Kids deserve great public schools and Texans deserve answers about where all their money’s going. As our next Comptroller (that’s like the CFO of TX), Sarah Eckhardt will will be a watchdog for our money, not a lapdog for the rich and powerful. secure.actblue.com/donate/eckha...

Down-ballot races determine whether our kids get a racist, Christofascist curriculum or one that will prepare them for the real-world challenges and opportunities that await them. Don’t sleep on down-ballot races. And if you’re in Harris County, look up your SBOE district!

Happy Friday! Enjoy this powerful reminder of what American leadership looked like when dignity, stability, and strength through unity (in spite of differences) still mattered. We can’t go back, but we can choose which parts of the past are worth taking with us as we move forward.

Gina Hinojosa has a story to tell, and Texans are paying attention. Greg Abbott has been selling us out for too long. Time to turn the page.

5x the median income just to buy a median home. That’s the worst affordability gap in history. Congress passed a bipartisan fix and Trump torched it for a voter suppression bill that he has been repeatedly told will never pass. Americans are drowning and he doesn’t care. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

Congress teed up an all-around win: a win for Trump, for the GOP, for Dems, and most of all for Americans struggling to afford a home. And not even for this one extraordinary occasion could Trump focus on doing his damn job. This is #TrumpsHousingCrisis

They had a choice: fund masked thugs on the streets or fund food for hungry kids. Republicans chose the thugs and cut SNAP benefits for 770,000 kids. Hungry kids can’t learn. Kids who can’t learn struggle in school. The consequences are lifelong. #RepublicansStarveChildren

770,000 kids like Giovanni will FEEL less fed because Trump and his corrupt Republican enablers cut their SNAP benefits. Full shouldn’t be a luxury. #RepublicansStarveChildren

Let’s grow algae, let’s grow! 👏 👏 Late entry into the 2026 World Cup: Team Algae Drop a Team Algae chant in the comments. Here are my contributions: “Nooooo algae, no paaaaarrrtyyyyy” “She scores when she wants, She scores when she waaaaaaaaaaaaaaants, Mother Nature She scores when she wants!”

Happy Juneteenth, America! History matters. Slavery was a big part of ours. If freedom is our future, our past must never be forgotten.

Higher retirement ages, means‑testing, benefit cuts — it’s all on the table for Trump’s enablers in Congress. Their only red line? No new taxes on the wealthy. We earned our benefits. This is a betrayal. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

The Voting Rights Act has been demolished by weak men who know they can’t win when everyone’s voice counts the same. They can suppress, but they can’t silence. Now more than ever we must show up and get loud. #GoodTrouble Weekend of Action. Be there.

Texas has the highest uninsured rate in the nation — and the highest number of uninsured children. @ginafortexas.bsky.social will cover all kids in Texas and lower healthcare costs by securing federal dollars and reining in insurance companies.

Todd Blanche moved convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & declared the matter should "not be part of anything going forward." Under his watch: 2M+ Epstein documents unreleased & 47K files deleted. A vote for Blanche is a vote to protect predators. #BlockBlanche

A First Lady deserving of the title cares about the people of her country, of the world, works to make them all feel seen and included, to nourish their dreams, and to open avenues for their greater wellbeing. Michelle Obama has done and continues to do all this and she is beautiful and classy.
