President Carter was one of my heroes, the embodiment of faith coming alive through the noble work of public service. His life’s project was human dignity and his long life will be outmatched only by the length of his legacy.
Well done, good and faithful servant. Well done.

This election isn't just about Trump, it's about stopping the radical rich from pushing the worst education policy money can buy in TX. Vouchers are a costly, ideological-driven scam w/ a tainted past persistently failing to improve student achievement. Use your vote against any voucher-supporting candidate.

“What I like about geese is when the one up front finally gets tired, he just moves further back in the formation, and when he moves back, she moves up and takes her place… Geese do this without an insurrection...”

Today is former Pres. Jimmy Carter’s 100th birthday. No other U.S. president has ever lived so long.
Four Secret Service special agents — part of a group that has protected the 39th president for nearly half a century — told @NicoleSganga about their time with Carter.

My favorite factoid about Tim Walz is that during his career as a high school teacher, in the same year, he coached the football team to a state title AND served as the faculty advisor for the school's first gay-straight alliance (GSA) club.

Women in positions of power may never hear your ignorant and disparaging comments about them.
But the women in your life will.

Public dollars should remain in public schools.
That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Public education is the great promise of America!
The public school is where we teach American democracy, make American citizens, practice American equality, affirm religious liberty & respect human diversity.
#txed is God’s work!
Vote to protect it in #2024Elections! #txlege

Happiness is not about reaching your goals. It's about aligning your goals with your values.
Progress without purpose is empty. Achievement without impact is fleeting.
Success is most rewarding when it serves the people and principles that matter to you.

If Texas GOP leaders wanted to they could allocate all existing state surplus $ into the Basic Allotment. It would provide $ for all schools from tiny one building rural schools to large big city schools. Just a dumb thought of mine. #txlege – at Houston, TX

This country would be so much better off if everyone running for office and everyone serving in office spent one day a month either at a children’s hospital or in a public school.

One goal for educators is to avoid a situation where, as Lillian Weber once put it, most kids "begin school as an exclamation point and a question mark [but then] leave as a plain period."

Two billionaire mega-donors are trying to dismantle public education in Texas.
Voucher scams, book bans, CRT scares — it’s all part of their plan to close our neighborhood schools.
I explained their strategy in a community meeting… #txlege

Texas applies a double standard to schools when it comes to student achievement. Took over Houston public schools after one school continuously failed standards. But gave underperforming charter schools a pass at least 17 times. texastribune.org/2023/10/10/…
