Sometimes I walk out here for really no reason at all. The Texas Capitol is just beautiful and belongs to poor children in east El Paso County as much as it belongs to a hedge fund manager who lives in Highland Park. God bless us all.

Sen @mayes_middleton, running for Texas Attorney General, revels in being called racist and tells Republicans in Bee County he wears it as a badge of honor #txlege
In South Texas: Texas Attorney General candidate @aaron_reitz tells the Bee County GOP Roundup "you ain't ready for this job" if President Trump wouldn't look at you and say he wants you as the true MAGA attorney. Video via @_jww3 #txlege
In executive session, RPT Chairman George received a phone call from the White House directing the SREC to NOT apply penalty three (ballot removal) threatening they would pull donations and stating the SREC would tarnish President Trump’s legacy.
In the middle of deliberation over whether to apply penalty 3 (removal from ballot) to @JaredLPatterson, Chairman George calls for a recess and then says they will go into executive session.
The Pope has to do this because Democrats are now busy making sure everyone knows they don't support healthcare for undocumented people.
For the fourth time in eight days, Pope Leo takes direct aim at Donald Trump's abuse of migrants in the United States. He calls immigrants to the United States “witnesses of hope” and encourages Catholics to do all we can to welcome them.


For those of y'all who thought this was made up, here's the video. Some of us watch the State Republican Executive Committee so you don't have to #txlege
They want leave to go recruit SREC challengers that could win 50% of ~300 randos with time on their hands at the next @TexasGOP convention. They’re obsessed with pretending SREC members represent all 500k+ Rs in SDs, despite only being elected by <0.01% of R voters. #txlege
Rep @JaredLPatterson "is the biggest asshole in the Texas House but that's not censure-able" says @rdgarcia03. Quite a defense #txlege
BREAKING: 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago has allowed the Texas National Guard to remain federalized, saying troops "do not need to return to their home states" unless further ordered by a court. But they denied Trump's request to let active deployment continue. #txlege

Now comes the part of the SREC @TexasGOP meeting where the chairman starts to enforce the arbitrary end time of deliberations. Classic move #txlege
Reminder: Every fight is a food fight when you’re a cannibal. #txlege
General consensus among SREC members during lunch break is that they’re aware they won’t make the 3/5ths required for other ballot bans. Some guests/activists are frustrated and discussing/identifying SREC members they think need to be replaced.

Just now: The @TexasGOP SREC votes not to concur with the censure resolution against @Burrows4TX. #txlege All censure votes require 3/5 support, or 38 votes, there were 38 against.
at the urging of abbott and patrick speaker burrows makes personal plea for the texas gop to reject censure of house republican lieutenants: bit.ly/3W1LHO2
As the @TexasGOP debates whether to censure Republican State Legislators, a new statewide survey of over 1,000 voters from Hunt Research shows that 75.9% of likely Republican Primary voters approve of Republican Texas State Legislators.


@LauraAK_TX gets a shoutout from Rachel Hooper to conclude her presentation

TX National Guard deployment: Chicago judge's 51-page written ruling is out "Not even the Founding Father most ardently in favor of a strong federal government believed that one state’s militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution," she writes




Breaking: The Chicago judge's court order is out and it blocks all defendants *EXCEPT President Trump* from federalizing and deploying the National Guard, including that of Texas, in Illinois for 14 days. Enjoins DHS, the Army & the DOD. #txlege storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

BREAKING: A Chicago federal judge has partially blocked President Donald Trump’s deployment of Texas troops in Illinois ... More details forthcoming. #txlege expressnews.com/politics/artic…
