My deepest gratitude to the Press for holding us accountable to the truth, however tragic. Hiding the truth dishonors those who lost their lives and keeps us from facing our real challenges.

The journalistic decisions we have confronted were never imagined in college ethics classes or professional seminars.
The truth and the public’s right to know are our guideposts.
My thoughts are with the people of Uvalde.
Goodnight to all.

I am so honored to receive the

candidate distinction. Protecting Texans from senseless gun violence is a priority for me, and I will continue governing with gun safety in mind.

Assault on

has not ended w/ overturning Roe. The GOP has left women septic, forced women to flee the state for care, & threatened doctors, IVF, & contraceptive access.
88% of Texans support access to birth control, we need the Right to Contraception Act now!
“I don't want to hear from Republicans who say they support contraception but can't make it the law of the land.”

Safe to say, the heroes in this 3rd special were the many legislators faithfully representing their districts by standing against all voucher schemes!

Okay but this whole moment with
@SenLarryTaylor
playing music and bringing some much needed fun to the floor early in the morning, and
@sarah_eckhardt
dancing on her chair made my early morning. THANK YOU!

The agenda for this special session divides Texans when we need to be untied & doesn't address any of the problems facing our state.
No Medicaid expansion.
No grid reliability.
Just divisiveness catering to the most extreme fringe of one party. Texans deserve better

I offered an amendment which would allow cities to require water breaks for construction workers like Fidel. Unfortunately, Senate Republicans voted it down.
Thank you to my Democratic colleagues for standing with me in support of working class Texans.

HAPPENING NOW: Construction worker, Fidel Guzman, pleads to the TX Senate to oppose
#SB14
and ensure that workers are not stripped of their right to take a water break.
"If we are called essential workers, we should be treated as essential workers."

Congratulations
