There is some seriously Orwellian nonsense taking place in the TxLege DEMs legislation filings.
For example, Donna Howard of Austin wants to redefine abortion from “death of an unborn child” to ending “the medical condition of pregnancy.”

The media dismissed the 2019 constitutional state income tax ban passed by Texas Republicans as a “political stunt”. With Democrats about to take control, it is now clear it was one of the most important laws passed by Texas Republicans the past decade.
That income tax amendment looks much more important now than it did last year. Need more of this long term thinking in #txlege

Gov Gina’s energy plan is to copy California’s, whose energy rates are double that of Texas.
California froze energy rates and they turned in to the “Brown Out” State.
California is now 100% higher than Texas
•Texas Average Electricity
15.9¢ per kWh Vs California
29.8¢ per kWh
•Texas Average Natural Gas
0.0046¢ per BTU Vs California 0.0087¢ per BTU

Under Gina Hinajosa on DAY 1, Texas Democrats propose:
Ban on "assault weapons," including possession
(SB 80)
FELONY to transfer many semiautomatic rifles to adults under 21 (HB 173)
Lets cities and counties chip away at statewide gun protections (HB 712)
Background checks on private gun sales (HB 613)
Dealers must report people who buy multiple guns or magazines (HB 659)
Repeal the 2025 Texas law that BANNED red flag orders (HB 218)
45% of Texas households own guns. Elections have consequences folks!

We lost some elections Tuesday night. But we didn’t lose our God.
He was faithful at Valley Forge. He was faithful at the Alamo and at San Jacinto. He has been faithful through every dark night this nation has faced, and He is faithful today.
The Battle Hymn of the Republic was written while America was tearing itself apart. And its message still resounds generations later, "His truth is marching on."
The trumpet has sounded again, and it shall never call retreat.
(This is a portion of the speech I delivered on Tuesday night at @JaceYarbrough’s victory party. Not every race was lost.)

This is accurate @AndyHopperTX
The reason conservative lawmakers in Texas are not jumping on this bandwagon:
1) Democrats would never show up for quorum, and would just flee the state if they thought the Governor might press them into service.
2) If Republicans sought to punish them, the punishments would never take effect and would be reversed in January.
3) It would cost the state millions with zero chance of success.
This maneuver is designed deflect the ire of Texans from radical democrats and onto Republican statewides who are packing their boxes.

I’ve asked @brianeharrison privately to come on the show and explain how this would work.
He has not responded.
I’m now asking him publicly if he would like to explain the special session plan and how R’s could pass something.

A governor can't freeze electricity rates. And even if she could, it's a guaranteed way to cause blackouts.
Democrats always promise to help people. Their economic policies always end up hurting them.

“There is no situation where any Republican should even consider casting a vote for a democrat Speaker. Every actual Republican should be putting their war paint on for the 90th.” – TxLege Rep. @AndyHopperTX

I will not beg for crumbs from the party that celebrated the life of Cecile Richards and the death of Charlie Kirk.

There is no scenario in which I will vote for a Democrat Speaker.
I'll be working with the patriots in the Texas House and Senate to make sure our children and grandchildren inherit a Texas that's safe, free, and prosperous.

The only option is voting Republican.
Do it. Tomorrow.
Take a friend.
For my birthday tomorrow- please get out and vote for @KenPaxtonTX ! I already fled California because democrats are the worst - I and not looking to flee another state ruined by them. You can not vote your way out of DSA.

If you’re a Christian struggling to figure out which party to vote for on Tuesday, I ask you to read this, and then remember that during the last election year (2024), President Joe Biden used the same White House website to publish a proclamation for Transgender Day of Visibility…on Easter Sunday.

If Texas Republicans show up, we will win. Get your friends, your family, your neighbors, your colleagues, your congregates, and make sure they get out to the polls. Deny the radical left power and keep Texas Texas.

So grateful for my friends Andy Hopper, Shelley Luther and Mitch Little for coming over to Weatherford for the AWESOME JD Vance GOTV Rally yesterday!

They aren’t team players because they aren’t on our team.
We voted for them because we are committed to stoping the left and preserving what we have.
They are not.
As a conservative, for my entire adult life I've had to hold my nose and vote for neocons and RINO republicans in November. Never flipped. Never threatened to vote D. All the while RINO's complained about being called RINO and denied being so. Now for the first time we have some candidates they don't like and control and they flip parties confirming they were indeed RINOs all along. Remember their names post Nov 3rd. Tar and feather them accordingly.
