Thank you, Lone Star Left, for reporting this tragedy in the Tx House.

Thank you, Rep. Howard and your colleagues standing with you. My heart aches for our state and its people that we have come to this pass. The Richards family knows the pride with which we Waco/McLennan County Democrats have for the lives of Governor Ann and Cecile for their dedication and service to the people of our city, county, and state. Our love and respect will endure long past this terrible time of hate and disrespect for each other, as we work with the same dedication these two heroes did throughout their lives to care for and love ALL.

Well, those on the right fancy themselves being watched at all times by the orange king and our fine governor. They want to win favor, not wrath or threats of primarying. The right is at the point where they have to disparage and disrespect if they want to keep their jobs--they've learned from the master. What has become of us and where are we going to be in a couple of years?

In a couple years, I hope fascism is dead and we’ve taken our state back.

Thank you for this . Appreciate what you have said in regards to respect and honor for people with whom you disagree. All of this comes with the person, however. I know that Texans of the past have been true to this philosophy. My mother-in-law enjoyed her last years here, after having lived in three other states and declared Texas her favorite because the people were so friendly and helpful. Thank goodness she is not alive to see what is happening. I myself have lived in five states and briefly in another country, but mostly in Texas. Those you referenced, however, show dishonor to themselves and any place from whence they came & if they continue in that manner, they need to be replaced.

I wish they had the same passion for all the children in schools that have been killed by an active shooter as they do fetuses. Don’t school children’s lives matter? Then maybe, just maybe they would pass gun sense laws instead of the horrible bill that will change the age from 21 to 18. Heck I feel it should be 25. Once the frontal lobe has fused.

I'm right there with you, but Republicans are only focused on the scorecards issues after each session by the gun groups.

some clown suggests we zoom Scudder tomorrow at 4 PM Sat afternoon...aka tomorrow afternoon.

Is this Scudder trying to direct attention towards himself?...i don't know, i can only speculate

Scudder defiantly knows about 50501 protests Saturday, Apr 19, so why is he holding a Zoom meeting on the same day at the same time?

Feel free to think the worst, i am
