Mayor who wishes to defund police urges citizens who supposedly hate the police to police the police by calling the police on the police who have to police the city because she won’t let the police police it.

TWENTY paid time off days?
I left a presidential campaign for less than 24 *hours* to go be the best man in a wedding and still haven't told anyone about it.
Bernie Sanders campaign staff ratified a union contract that guarantees: overtime pay for hourly employees, health benefits for interns, 20 PTO days

I don’t know the ins and outs of Texas politics, but could there be a Unity ticket on the Democratic ballot next year to save the state from four more years of Abbott? A respected centrist Democrat for governor, former GOP speaker Joe Straus for lt. governor? Something like that?

A ban on *ALL* new oil and gas leases.
Can you imagine the crushing effect this would have on the economies of... over half the states?
Go ahead, nominate her.
Any efforts to address climate change must include our public lands. That’s why on the first day of a Warren administration, I will sign a total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases, including for drilling offshore and on public lands.

Protesting is fine. It’s better than fine, it’s legal and necessary.
If you block others ability to go about their day, menace others, or claim public property as “ours”.
You’re not a protestor.

350,000+ Texans work in oil & gas. Many times more work to support it, & they have families.
Bernie doesn't just put those voters at risk, he could drive a wedge between these folks and the Democrat Party that lasts far past 2020.

Hey Jim, I was Cruz’s first travel guy, all the way back in 2011. I also did a lot of the show running and logistics for his bus tour in 2018. We put tens of thousands of miles on my 2005 Nissan Altima with 1 headlight.
Couple things:
So, Ted Cruz is doing a "bus tour." I can't imagine being stuck in a bus with Ted Cruz for hours at a time. So I wondered... Is he actually taking the bus? 🧵

Republicans, we’ve been found out.
We gerrymandered enough rural farmers, ranchers, and oilmen into The Texas US Senate District to win, and they caught us red handed.
@PatrickSvitek
Since 88% of the Texas vote was urban, how did the rural vote outweigh the urban vote in a race for Senate? Though gerrymandering is severe here, how does this affect a Senate vote?
