Great to join friends in Houston last night at a fundraiser in support of the @MeyerDems. The Meyerland area has some of the highest turnout precincts in Texas—which will be critical to flipping this state in 3 weeks!

Dan Patrick used his office to criminalize nearly all cannabis use in Texas, threatening thousands of businesses. TONIGHT his opponent @VikkiGoodwinTX is hosting a Legalize It! Rally in San Antonio to build support for regulation over prohibition. RSVP: mobilize.us/texasdemocrats/e…

Costs. Corruption. Cruelty. These are some of the most pressing issues for Texans right now — all of which have all been made worse by Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton. With just 29 days left, now is the time to support Dem candidates up-and-down the ballot!

Gina up three against Abbott in latest NYT/Siena poll. She keeps rising. How much more evidence of @GinaHinojosaTX strength in Texas will @AndyBeshearKY and the @DemGovs have to see before they support her in a real way? She can win!

Paxton sold out his friends in a fraud scam. He sold out his wife in a cheating scandal. He even sold out President Trump in a secret lobbyist meeting. The only loyalty Ken Paxton has is to himself. xitter.cf/teddyschleifer/status/…
NEWS — Ken Paxton trashed President Trump’s convention in leaked audio obtained by NYT. Paxton told donors and lobbyists last week that the convention hurt his polling numbers. Paxton was a huge part of the Dallas convention. Exclusive in NYT. nytimes.com/2026/09/30/us/po…

There’s no better way to celebrate your birthday than talking to your neighbors. Thank you to the San Antonians who joined us to knock doors, make calls, and send post cards to voters ahead of Election Day. This is the year we flip Texas.

Ridiculous. With less than 2 weeks before the voter registration deadline, Texas DPS failed to send an untold number of applications to county registrars. Texans make sure you check and re-check your voter registration before 10/5 votebeat.org/texas/2026/09/2…

This blatantly racist post about UT students comes from the Republican nominee for one of Texas’s top statewide positions. And Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton refuse to condemn it directly. Pathetic.

Texans are fed up. They’re fed up with the corruption. They’re fed up with the division. They’re fed up with politicians catering to corporate interests. It’s time for new leadership that will actually fight for Texas families.

Trump knows he’s headed for an ass kicking in November. So he’s trying to suppress enough voters to keep Republicans in power. It won’t work.

Trump’s order targeting mail-in voting is blatantly unconstitutional. And while the Supreme Court ducked that question, numerous legal hurdles remain. Here’s the truth: mail-in voting is safe, secure, and accessible to millions of Americans—and that won’t change.

ICE is a rogue agency that’s menacing communities across the county, including in Texas. That’s why we’re calling on San Antonio cities to END their 287(g) agreements with ICE—which effectively turn local police officers into agents for Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

Texans on both sides of the aisle don't want their communities overrun by data centers that get big tax breaks, spike energy costs, and cause noise problems. But here's the truth: Greg Abbott & Ken Paxton are DEEP in the pocket of the data center industry. Check the receipts👇

Voters on both sides of the aisle are sick and tired of our statewide leaders catering to big corporations instead of fighting for Texas families. That's why @jamestalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX have called for more regulation of data centers in Texas.

Abbott and Paxton can't duck this issue until after the election. They should call a special session of the Texas legislature RIGHT NOW to address regulation of data centers in Texas. Texans are tired of the lip service. It's time for ACTION.
