Today, I’ll say it again. I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States. Not to any person. Nothing else.

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.

Never chime in on Taylor Swift…but I predict Life of a Showgirl will go down as a top 5 album for her.

Honestly impressed she released a true pop album that competes with Chappell, Billie, & Sabrina today, almost 20 years into her career. Some people just hate.

Make no mistake - the ONLY reason Mike Johnson is delaying #AdelitaGrijalva from taking office is because United States Speaker of the House Johnson is
*protecting Trump and pedophiles* named in the #EpsteinFiles.

Let that sink in.

When I ran for State Rep. I sought @jamestalarico.bsky.social endorsement. Without knowing me well, he took time to talk with me for an hour+ discussing issues/researching the race. I’m honored to have received his support. Now I’m proud to support him in this race to prioritize Texas first.

As a young State Rep., former middle school teacher in San Antonio, & a reverend, @jamestalarico.bsky.social brings a unique perspective to this race focused on what we can achieve when we separate politics from people.

Texas deserves better than what corrupt politicians have offered.

🧵I’m so excited to support @jamestalarico.bsky.social for U.S. Senate! James truly understands the reality working people across our country face - regardless of party affiliation. Working families get screwed while billionaires gain more immense wealth daily.

I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

Billionaires have taken over Texas and taken over America — but together, we can take power back for working people.

I honestly can’t think of anything worse than Donald Trump, his cabinet, & the Republican Party not doing a damn thing to stop 5th graders from laying on top of one another in a mass shooting.

5th graders.

Fuck all of this.

Any single one of us could be Kilmar Abrego. The longer this fascism continues, the scarier things will get. This can’t continue.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, free for now from jail, could be deported to Uganda. Here's what to know

The Trump administration plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda after he declined a plea deal involving deportation to Costa Rica.

@betoorourke.bsky.social is fighting 🔥 with 🔥🔥🔥!

His longtime org, #PoweredXPeople, has always been about registering and mobilizing voters to elect TX Dems up and down the ballot.

But Ken Paxton has now launched a bogus investigation into Beto/PXP for helping @texasdemocrats.bsky.social.

1/3

Attorney General Ken Paxton on X:
BREAKING: I just launched an investigation into Beto O'Rourke's radical group for unlawfully funding runaway Democrats.
Any Democrat coward breaking the law by taking a Beto Bribe will be held accountable.

Hey Governors @gavinnewsom.bsky.social & Kathy Hochul, don’t worry about those of us here in Texas. You know what you need to do.

Redistrict them into oblivion.

Folks... I get the temptation to be glad Joe Rogan is speaking out against Trump, but friendly advice: take everything he says with a bucket of salt. He has the ethical commitments of a squirrel on cocaine. I don't think he even knows what he'll support tomorrow or next week. Just keep that in mind.

Over 30 people in RED Fredericksburg, Texas! People are fired up and full of ideas to fight back and prioritize working people!

Gabrien Gregory @gabriengregory.bsky.social · Jul 31

We will fight for Healthcare for All, A Living Wage, Housing First, and Education. Big thanks to Jerry Vaclav and hosts for helping me get some folks together, and I’m grateful for those who joined and pitched in their thoughts.

It’s past time for real solutions for people. We will win on a message that resinates with all people. One that puts aside the labels and brandings. One that just focuses on what we know we deserve, because we do not have to keep living like this.

Such a great gathering in Fredericksburg discussing the future of Texas’ 21st Congressional District. I’m not enthusiastic re the state of the Democratic Party or its recent past, but I believe in our potential to truly embody our roots. The party of & for working people. The party of FDR & LBJ. ⬇️⬇️

A very personal 🧵 of services the Texas Medicaid waiver has provided my son.
Services and therapies many families could not afford otherwise.

Music Therapy (especially Taylor Swift ☺️) was *instrumental* (aha!) in teaching my son to walk again after his most recent neurosurgery!

I’m sure. So incredibly scary. I can’t imagine the horror these people - children - went through. The damage was hard enough to see.

This is life and death.

I’ll never forget what I saw along the banks of the beautiful Guadalupe River. I’m committed to standing with the people of Kerrville, Texas & the entire Hill Country for as long as it takes to help them heal.

This goes beyond party lines. It’s about basic responsibility. If someone failed in their duty to protect lives, they need to be replaced by someone who cares enough to do better.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about leadership - or the lack of it. We already know there were failures. The full picture will come in time & when it does, if any of those failures stemmed from neglect or indifference, we must hold those responsible accountable.
