Happy 100th birthday to Fort Worth’s own, the grandmother of Juneteenth, Dr. Opal Lee! Texas and our nation are a better place thanks to Dr. Lee’s decades of activism.

This is a massive red flag for the Texas GOP. If Greg Abbott is scared to be around Trump, his internals must not be good.
MS NOW: Greg Abbott to Skip Trump’s Event in Texas
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that when the president holds an event in San Antonio this week, he won’t be in attendance.
The governor said he has other campaign events planned and won’t be available.

And the best part about this framing -- its true! TX GOP don't give a fuck about freedom! They don't want warrants to use Flock data! Practically communist! What are we? the Stasi? They want to control ISDs and reach into the Us and tell Texans who they can hire. Stalinism! -OS
What Gina has done extremely well with her campaign is frame it as "hey, I'm all for libertarian freedoms. That's Texas, baby. And that's not what Greg Abbott's Texas is. He's reshaped Texas into the biggest most invasive nanny state in the country." -OS

SCOOP: Ken Paxton, asked about the biggest drag on his campaign, said, "It's the war, it's gas prices," per audio obtained by @axios
He agreed he can't stop the Iran War and said: "I don't ... know what's behind some of the decisions."

While we fought over culture wars, Greg Abbott sold us out to billionaires.
As governor, I'll restore the American Dream by putting working Texans first, not the billionaires and corporations.

“Letting gay people get married is against OUR liberty to tell them they can’t”
Fuckin ludicrous. Y’all wonder why churches are getting emptier. Stop preaching hate
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito says in a new book that he believes the court's landmark decision extending marriage rights to same-sex couples was "perhaps the decisive point in our nation's turn against religious liberty."

3 minute farewell video after gutting a legacy company, guaranteeing mass layoffs, and signing the country up for an even more monopolized media landscape 🥰🤪
David Zaslav bids farewell to Warner Bros. employees in a video ahead of the official closing of the Warner Bros.-Paramount merger:
“For me, it’s been a great honor to be alongside all of you,” Zaslav says in the 3-minute video. “I hope you take pride in what you’ve built, what you’ve created, and the role you’ve played in shaping an extraordinary history. What’s past is prologue. The future waits for each and every one of you. For your spirit, your ingenuity, your creativity and your courage. I can’t wait to see what you do in the years ahead."

PLEASE SUPPORT @VikkiGoodwinTX FOR TX LT. GOVERNOR 🙏🏻
TX maga candidates are funded by a handful of Billionaires pushing LIES!!!
91% of Texans across party lines say AI deepfakes are “unacceptable.”
You'd think that kind of overwhelming consensus would give Dan Patrick pause. It hasn't.
Dan Patrick ran illegal AI deepfake videos of me until we filed a police report. Just days later, he was back with three new AI-generated billboards filled with lies about my record.
Dan is flush with cash from the same billionaire donors who are funding AI disinformation campaigns across the country.
We need your help to make sure every Texan knows the truth before election day: Dan Patrick is failing us as Lt. Governor. ➡️ GoodWin4Texas.com

🚨@AngieNixon SCHOOLS an Ashley Moody disruptor at a press conference:
“The Black Panther Party saw that people didn’t have access to quality healthcare. They popped up free health clinics because the government was failing to ensure that people had a safety net. They started free health clinics and that’s been replicated by organizations all across the country who are in communities when people like @AshleyMoodyFL decide to vote to end healthcare for over 440,000 people here in the state of Florida!”

This morning, the last of four ancient cottonwoods in Lochiel, AZ, estimated to be 200–250 years old and known as the “grandmother tree,” was cut down for Trump’s border wall. #FuckTrump

This should outrage every American. This is the president of the United States telling Iran to bomb American cities. I live in Los Angeles, but that’s beside the point. Tommorow it could be your city.
My fellow Americans, this is not normal. This is not funny. This behavior should ring alarm bells for us all!
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

I'm so honored to have the support of so many Texans who are ready for change. Despite being outspent 10-1, we built a people-powered campaign.
From now until Election Day, I will continue fighting for a Texas that puts working people over billionaires, because every Texan deserves the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.

Taxes go up every year, but what do we get for it? Our taxes are getting stockpiled in the Rainy Day Fund, not getting reinvested in education and healthcare for our families.
We can’t afford Lt. Dan and his corruption any longer. As your Lt. Governor, I will make sure we’re spending our tax dollars to benefit our communities — not corporations.
Los impuestos suben cada año, pero ¿qué recibimos a cambio? Nuestros impuestos se están acumulando en el fondo para días difíciles, en lugar de reinvertirse en la educación y en la atención médica de nuestras familias.
Ya no podemos darnos el lujo de tener al actual Lt. Governor Dan Patrick y su corrupción. Como tu Lt. Governor, me aseguraré de que nuestros impuestos se utilicen para beneficiar a nuestras comunidades, no a las corporaciones.
