You'd be hard pressed to name an individual Texan who has provided more inspiration, guts, and drive to the progressive side of Texas politics over the last two decades than our @ProgressTX Happy Hour guest, El Paso’s @BetoORourke.

Thanking veterans in the 13th annual Grapevine Veterans Day Parade, and joining veterans across the country in opposition to armed federal agents in our American streets. 🇺🇸

LIVE FROM DALLAS! #GoBirds

I got to meet @TheDailyShow producers and share briefly about our work at @ProgressTX, bringing humor and positivity to the news! 📺 📱 📰 Told @TheLewisBlack our daughter loved the Inside Out movies, and attended Sunday’s screening.😡

“The very question of America is being called and we’ve got to answer it,” @BetoORourke told me. Hear more on The Daily Dispatch from @ProgressTX.

“We live in challenging times, but we’re up for the challenge” with leaders like @GabbyGiffords. TY, @GIFFORDS_org for bringing your fight for common sense gun safety laws to Texas.

Spotted at #Dallas #HandsOff protest of the chaos, corruption and criminality of the Trump/ Musk administration. “Cruelty and incompetence. Welcome to Trump 2.0. Elect a clown, expect a circus. 🤡 Stop pretending your racism is patriotism.”🪧✊

Texas Democrats have elected a young progressive to be their new party chair! Congrats to my buddy @KendallScudder. 💙

After his talk to a big Dallas crowd, I thanked Rep. @jamestalarico for discussing the role of billionaire-funded disinformation in the current voucher scam battle, and our ongoing fight for democracy. #txlege
