I have always heard of the corruption in Texas government. This makes me angry! 😡

I would love everyone in Texas to read this and then vote! I can’t even get my husband to read this article. Instead he says just tell me how to vote. Which is what many people do, they don’t want to do any work. So many don’t even vote! Not shocked about this information. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Michelle, I’m having a heated discussion with someone who says Ann Richards and all democrats did the same. What do you say?

I would tell them they are misinformed and ask them to provide proof.

Let’s go Gina!! So done with this! McKesson is in Las Colinas and, they should not be giving Abbott any money. They will hear from me! We are losing all our rural hospitals!

So essentially this is to say that this is not a red state by nature but a completely bought state jesus. So basically this is a state full of bribes.

Now, you're starting to get it my friend. You should see Louisiana. Texas is not the worst of the worst. Southern state corruption is a thing going back at least 200, maybe 300 years. I suppose I'm not as freaked out by the Trump corruption and fascism as it has a very familiar ring. Trump is importing both corruption and Christian Nationalistic, White Supremacist fascism from the South, so I'm familiar. The stark reality of what Red State Democrats are facing and fighting isn't truly comprehended by people in civilized states.

There is a direct, long-standing correlation between the lack of voting rights in Texas and the corruption at the top. It is an intentional strategy to keep and wield absolute power.

I know. Part of my frustration is the blue state elistism people put on these states. And its not a good mentality to have. I am from NY but i am not looking at these states from red and blue perspective.

i wouldn't normally comment on the flakes that run for office...but Heli CD-12 took the stage with Talarico an Guitterez

She seems to be one of those perenial candidates and have bamboozed Tex Dems

her website is really her US Senate candidate website of 2024 with a name change

i implore MD, turn ur gaze away from Abbott and Co.s machinations. Its bottled and bonded, redistricing, hate, corruption.

turn ur gaze to the Democratic Party in Texas

MD is a resident of Tarrant County who are doing god knows what but it isn't engaging anybody'..I can't get MD to report on that

once again Dear Texas, we look to a savoir, Wendy Davis, Beto, now Talarico and then our brains shut down

according to MD ,Kendoll has collected $2m

here is what the Texas Ethics committee reports

https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/search/cf/SimpleSearchResults.php

that's $110,000, not anything close to $2m

its easy and exciting copy MD but TT and TO will cover it if its a major deal

we need u to shed lite on Dem Texas and all its dysfunctions, cause they are a huge problem

So freaking tired of the corruption. I'm sure Abbott's fearless leader, trump is proud of him.

aren't u proud: More than 1 million children in Texas have been rolled off the state’s Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) over the course of just over two years, according to data from KFF, a nonprofit health policy research and news organization.
