Travis County (D+22.1) now coming in at 110.6% of the 2024 total and nearly 200% over the 2022 midterms and there is still time to go. Doomsday numbers for Republicans.

We can protect Social Security for current and future generations if we vote out as many of Trump’s enablers as possible!

If Don Huffines will bury the truth at Epstein’s crime scene, he will bury the truth in the comptroller’s office.
In fact, he already is.

ICE agents have terrorized our communities for long enough. Time and time again, they’ve shown us they’re willing to break the law and evade accountability simply because this administration says they can. Dallas won't let them operate in the shadows, and neither should Congress.

Abbott “has consolidated power like no Texas governor before him. One of the methods he’s used to do that is issuing executive orders and disaster declarations that allow him to shift funds, suspend regulations and award no-bid contracts at times of emergency” w/o #txlege action.
New: Since Texas Gov. Greg Abbott first declared an emergency at the border in 2021, he’s renewed or amended the proclamation at least 69 times. The proclamation has greatly expanded his powers without going through the state Legislature. propub.li/4B4su1r

The pushback has started to the new leaked audio of @KenPaxtonTX saying there need to be cuts to federal mandatory spending (which includes Social Security and Medicare). Texas Alliance for Retired Americans says there’s no reasonable amount to cut.
Progress Texas retweeted
Ken Paxton was caught on tape saying we need "reasonable cuts" to Social Security & Medicare + "we have to suck it up."
No Ken, we do not.
Americans spent a lifetime earning those benefits. TX needs a senator who will protect, not cut, them.

🚨BREAKING: Ken Paxton just revealed he wants to cut programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid:
“Making some reasonable cuts to mandatory spending… Suck it up.”
This is NOT someone we can trust with our earned benefits!

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens.
We are.
500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term.
Our tally is almost certainly an undercount.

Everything about this is just so obscenely fucked up. This family needs answers now.
Salgado: We still have so many questions.
What are the names of the ICE agents who killed our dad?
It’s been two and a half months, and we still don’t have my dad’s belongings back. Aside from some change that he kept in his pocket, we don’t have his wallet or his phone…
We have no idea where his things are or who might have them.

Summer officially ends today, and gas is far from $2/gallon.
Suspend the gas tax, @GregAbbott_TX.

Social Security CAN'T CONTRIBUTE A SINGLE PENNY TO THE DEBT.
But Republicans are trying to create a closed door commission to cut our hard-earned benefits.
Instead, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES!
Progress Texas retweeted
Yesterday, House Republicans held a Dallas field hearing on creating a closed-door commission to cut Social Security and Medicare.
Seniors and people with disabilities showed up to hold them accountable.
Republicans left them standing outside in 100 degree heat.
SHAME!
