Greg Abbott is pushing the “FURRIES Act” claiming schools are giving litter boxes to students who act like cats.

But when I asked the bill author, he couldn’t name one school providing litter boxes to kids.

This is all part of Abbott’s smear campaign against our public schools.

"Today, Governor Abbott signs his billionaire voucher scam into law.

Remember this day next time a school closes.

Remember this day next time your property taxes go up because the state is defunding our schools.”

The Library of Congress is the world’s largest library. President Trump just fired the Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden—because she’s a Black Woman.

Dr. Hayden is the first woman and first Black person to hold the position.

When people are like “WWJD,” this is a pretty good start.
