He's flip-flopped on data centers, the Big Bend, and now Flock cameras - ALL problems he helped create! Governor Greg Abbott is now, more or less, campaigning against the policies and track record of Governor Greg Abbott. More: tinyurl.com/yvz83x8r

Everything about this is just so obscenely fucked up. This family needs answers now.
Salgado: We still have so many questions.
What are the names of the ICE agents who killed our dad?
It’s been two and a half months, and we still don’t have my dad’s belongings back. Aside from some change that he kept in his pocket, we don’t have his wallet or his phone…
We have no idea where his things are or who might have them.

Summer officially ends today, and gas is far from $2/gallon.
Suspend the gas tax, @GregAbbott_TX.

Social Security CAN'T CONTRIBUTE A SINGLE PENNY TO THE DEBT.
But Republicans are trying to create a closed door commission to cut our hard-earned benefits.
Instead, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES!

Yesterday, House Republicans held a Dallas field hearing on creating a closed-door commission to cut Social Security and Medicare.
Seniors and people with disabilities showed up to hold them accountable.
Republicans left them standing outside in 100 degree heat.
SHAME!
Behind closed doors, Republicans plan to cut Social Security and Medicare, denying disabled and senior Texans a voice in THEIR money.

Denied entry to “public” House Budget Committee field hearing, along with seniors and disabled, they made wait outside for an HOUR. Republican staffer told woman gripping her walker, "go across the street," if you need air conditioning in 100-degree heat. @HouseBudgetGOP @RepArrington

Bo French and his ilk do not believe that legal U.S. citizenship is inherently meaningful.
You can have it but not truly be American, they believe, based on goalposts that they move around in a way that seems incoherent unless you know that it's racist white ethnonationalism

Stop.
I had a “price gouging during natural disasters bill” that you gutted.
For those still reading- the original bill allowed DA’s to prosecute offenders, but Paxton wanted to limit that power to just the TX AG. That’s what passed. Not nothing, but weak by comparison.
Texas families want lower prices. I won back billions of gallons of water a year for Texas farms at the Supreme Court. More water, more crops, cheaper groceries. Talarico wants to raise your taxes and your grocery bill. I want to cut them. That's the choice.

I submitted an open records request to see which law enforcement agencies have had access to Flock data shared by Dallas Police. Then I looked into those agencies.
Several that had access to Dallas data have already had documented cases of Flock misuse.
Here’s what I found 🧵
