Our member, Theresa, was able to share her story as a cancer patient, retired teacher and Texan who’s concerned about healthcare access.

Thank you @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for inviting us to participate in a virtual press conference today where we talked about how the Trump admin is letting the Affordable Care Act tax credit for premiums expire amid the government shutdown fight.

This isn't about "cost savings."

This is about making it harder for everyday working-class people to have their voices heard at the polls.

It's white supremacy in action.

🚨 🚨 🚨

Tarrant County Republicans are silencing the voices of their constituents, particularly Black and Latino residents, all in an attempt to cling to power.

Tarrant County cuts over 100 voting locations

Officials say the move will save the county about $1 million but opponents call it voter suppression.

WILD situation in Texas right now: The House Speaker has required Dems, who just returned from their out-of-state quorum break, to have police escorts once they leave the chamber. One Dem is refusing to leave the House floor with escort, and GOP leaders have blocked press access to the chamber.

Calling for the arrest of Democrats that are actively fighting back against the attempt to rob Texans of a free and fair election.

It’s getting more Orwellian by the minute.

🚨 Ken Paxton wants Dems arrested for refusing to help rig an election.

That’s rich coming from a guy indicted on three felony counts of securities fraud, accused by his top deputies of bribery, abuse of office, while allegedly using burner phones, secret emails & fake names to dodge accountability.

So… The Republican-led Congress and Trump are completely pulling public media funding.

No more public media = no more unwanted accountability.

Are we seeing the play? It’s going to be on all of US to seek knowledge, and spread it.
Don’t let their attempt to silence us, prevent you from speaking!

Let’s not forget… this comes directly after reports of Trump’s name being in those same Epstein files he spoke extensively about on the campaign trail.

The convenient amnesia that MAGA-Republicans have is alarming, ESPECIALLY in the context of sex trafficking minors… This is who y’all co-signing?😬

Texas Organizing Project @txorgproject.bsky.social · Jul 25

Another day, another coverup.

Every time you think his conduct can’t get worse, he finds new ways to top himself.

Why is Trump considering pardoning a convicted sex offender and child sex trafficker?

I think we all know the answer to that one.

So, we’re about six months in to Trump’s presidency, and he’s already completed about 50% of the policies from Project 2025.

This comes after his countless lies to the masses and attempts to dissociate from it publicly. Another example of Trump’s hypocrisy
