They want vouchers to help them replace public schools w/ private Christian schools (which can “choose” which students to enroll). On his voucher propaganda tour, TX Governor Greg Abbott has “only visited expensive private Christian institutions …” #Christofascism #txpol 1/
“Of the seven schools the governor [Abbott] has visited on his ‘Parent Empowerment Tour,’ not a single one has been a public school or a secular private school or a religious school affiliated with Catholicism, Islam, or Judaism. Not even a Montessori.” 2/
“If the goal was to reassure critics that [TX Governor] Abbott’s embrace of vouchers wasn’t a recipe for draining the public school system while subsidizing the children of wealthy Christian conservatives in private schools…, none of those critics were around to hear it.“ 3/

Cornyn talks about how “when tragedy strikes, the left's knee jerk reaction is to say we should confiscate guns of law abiding Texas.”
He says he will not support new restrictions for gun owners. Crowd continues to boo. Loud boos.

Cornyn says what’s on the table in terms of gun-related negotiations in Congress “more mental health resources, more support for our schools & making sure that violent criminals and the mentally ill cannot buy a firearm.”
More boos. Cornyn encourages folks to check his website.

Oops they’re doing it again. Republican members of Congress want to be seen as voting in lockstep with their party but they also want credit when the legislation crafted & passed by #Democrats pay huge dividends for their constituents. #WeSeeYou👀 1/20 #DemocratsDeliver
This article, from Jan. 20, 2022 By Steve Benen tells the story of the double-dealing, mealy-mouthed, two-faced, weaselly, yellow-bellied, two-timing, lying Republican swine. The article doesn’t use those words but draw your own conclusions. 2/20 msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/ncna…

NEW: We obtained Texas county election officials’ communications about the Texas secretary of state’s “full forensic audit” of 2020 election results.
The documents contain emails that suggest confusion about the investigation’s scope and timeline. #txpol

The “audit” was announced late on Sept. 23, just hours after former President Donald Trump publicly pressured Gov. Greg Abbott to investigate the election and to back legislation that would pave the way for future audits.
The documents we obtained include communications sent by election officials in Collin and Tarrant counties from November 2020 to mid-October 202l and back up previous reports that county officials were given no advance notice and little guidance.
