The result was Texas gained fewer seats than expected in the 2020 reapportionment.
By contrast, states like NY and CA spent upwards of $100 million each to encourage census participation in hard to count communities. #txlege

Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.

In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville.
More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter has been elected governor of Georgia.

It’s been a long, dark night. But today I hear in a new way the echoes of Scripture. Weeping endures for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

This also has huge implications for @UTAustin at a moment its conservative leadership is driving changes to core classes, majors & deans.
@utsystem regents are appointed by the governor and three are up for reappointment next year. That includes Chairman Kevin Eltife. #txed
Gov. @GregAbbott_TX conceded to @GinaHinojosaTX, a former @AustinISD school board member. Hinojosa has said her Day 1 priority is replacing @TEAinfo commissioner Mike Morath. #txed #austinschools statesman.com/news/politics/…

Tonight, I make a solemn promise to every single Texan. Whether you voted for me or Governor Abbott, or felt so betrayed by a broken politics that you did not vote at all.
Hear what Texas said today, loud and clear: Your government belongs to you. And as your governor, I will never forget it. There will be no special set of rules for the wealthy and powerful. No looking the other way when someone in my own party does wrong.
The trust you have placed in me tonight is not a blank check. It is a sacred responsibility. And I intend to earn it every single day.
