I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day.
And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.
Thank you @KellyRasti! I have two fosters looking for good homes as well. Help the pups if you can. Cats too 🐈 🐕

“But some are concerned about his motives, suspecting Williams must be making money from Commit's influence. It's not uncommon for critics to express concern at local board meetings about Commit's involvement in schools.
She mostly likes what she hears but is among those reluctant to trust any input from Williams. She's worried that Commit may be swaying community groups.
"I'm in Roosevelt every day, and I see that our kids are not getting the best education that they can," she said. "Then this organization over here is getting bigger and bigger? You have over 200 partners? I just see it as being a hostile takeover of education." (2019)
In Ector TFS raised one high school’s state accountability rating from an F to a B, but then backslid after they left. In Beaumont, the nonprofit terminated its partnership leaving two of three campuses with failing ratings, one of which triggered the second state takeover.
Some school district leaders say they believed they had only one option—to enter into a partnership with the Houston superintendent's former charter network— to avoid state takeover. texasobserver.org/mike-miles…

Welfare for wealthy private school parents. We told you.
Texas School Voucher Reality:
Sold as a life preserver for poor students, new application data is showing that the majority applying for vouchers are already in private schools. And just 12% of applicants fall into into priority categories for
disabled students, or under $165,000/yr for family of four.

Retaliatory hemp raids taking place today by Texas DSHS across the state. Spurred by someone from Citizens for a Safe and Healthy Texas, who is funded by TX HHS. They just happen to be “inspecting” everyone who testified at the house committee hearing. Video tomorrow.

So let me get this straight—Texas DSHS is now weaponizing “inspections” against every single person who dared testify at the Capitol? That’s not enforcement, that’s state-sponsored retaliation. First Amendment violations all over this. 👀 Someone needs to remind them they work for the people, not “Citizens for a Safe & Healthy Texas.
Now this is some prime Russian propaganda here. Negative association of NATO to a protest right wing wouldn’t like. No truth whatsoever, but intent to smear NATO alliance fed to those willing to be led by Putin.
This is one of the most devastating acts of overturning the will of the people. The economic damage that will be done to the Texas workforce is astronomical not to mention it’s just heartless.

Democrats blaming the Texas Senate for sneaking in public school funding cuts at the last minute are carefully omitting the folks Senate leadership has been negotiating with about it. Yes, I noticed that #TxLege
I like what i see in the summary. Waiting to see how it holds up in the details. Stay tuned and ready to contact your EOs as we learn more prior to hearing.
The Senate Committee on Education K-16 will hold a public hearing on Thursday to consider CSHB2. This is a historic opportunity to lift up Texas education with an unprecedented $8 billion in new funding. Here are a few key components of the bill: #txlege
This is better than before. If @CreightonForTX and @BradBuckleyDVM get this passed then the wait may be worth it. Still waiting for language of sub. Thank you for the experience differential and the cost of living difference. Now, will it go directly to each teacher?
