I'm tired. Tired of being right about felon-rapist-traitor-president & his supporters using corporate oligarchy to benefit white supremists. 🙂 "...in hopes the truth will find its way to those willing to know it." -Sheryl Crow

NEW: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he's willing to "micromanage" Corpus Christi's water crisis. But he's gone quiet on the financial troubles of an agency that could help expand the region's water supply — despite Abbott having appointed its entire board. With KRIS 6 News and @texastribune.org

Greg Abbott Blasted Corpus Christi for Its Water Crisis. A River Authority He Has Power Over Is Falling Apart.

Texas got hemp wrong because this law hurts local businesses without giving Texans more freedom. We should trust adults to make informed decisions, backed by strong testing and clear labels instead of unnecessary bans.

The Lieutenant Governor controls the legislative agenda in Texas. Corrupt culture warrior Dan Patrick has failed to focus on what Texans need: well-funded public schools, and affordable healthcare, housing and clean water & energy. As Lt. Gov. Vikki Goodwin will restore sanity to our government.

Hinojosa: That is Greg Abbott’s record. That’s why the polling shows people want change. They know Greg Abbott. They know he’s been there 12 years, and they will not elect him to another four. That’s the opportunity we have in this election.

Haskell County reminded billion-dollar corporations that Texans don't owe them a blank check. The Greedy Few shouldn't decide how our communities spend their tax dollars. I wrote about why Haskell County's vote could become a blueprint for every county in Texas facing AI data centers.

Childcare is now more expensive than college. In the Legislature, I passed a bill to cut property taxes for childcare centers, allowing small businesses like Green Space Nature Preschool to cut costs for working families. In the Senate, I’ll keep fighting for our tiny Texans. 🌱

“According to the Institute for Policy Studies, up to 74 cents of every dollar donated to charity would have been paid as taxes. In 2022 alone, charitable giving resulted in $73 billion in lost tax revenue.”

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · last wk.

We tend to think of “charitable giving” as unambiguously good because we equate “charities” with organizations that help the poor and equate “giving” with generosity. But both assumptions are wrong.
