If you still, somehow, think that the book-banning movement in Texas is just targeting “dirty” books, you need to take your head out of the sand. Grateful for the attention the Texas Tribune gave to this story: texastribune.org/2026/09/04/…

Most persuasive thing I’ve seen in months.
It's not too late to put in PTO and come to Terlingua for the granddaddy of all chili cook offs. Why work next week when you could instead be drinking tequila, eating chili, raising money for ALS, and watching the sun set on the Chisos Mountains?

"Don't vote with terrorists." About school board candidates. These people are going to wake up one day, look back at who they've become, and be deeply ashamed.
These are the conservative candidates running for RRISD Trustee and have my full support. Their opponents are endorsed or preferred by the terrorist organization CAIR. Don’t vote with terrorists. @M4LWilCoTX @WilcoGOP @TravisGOP @CACRClub @TrueTXProject @TxValuesAction @Liberty4TheKids @protect_txchild @TPPF @TexasGOP ☑️TEAM TAG Candidates are ENDORSED by the @WilcoGOP and the @TravisGOP

1) lol, yes, I famously don’t care about school board races. You got me. 2) Once again, this is a statewide issue. One reason I know this is because I make school board voting guides for the whole state.
That sounds like your ISD spends too much money on bullshit and is managing the district poorly. Did you vote for the board of your ISD or do you only focus on people who don’t actually run the district you’re complaining about?

This kind of head-in-the-sand response doesn't fly when the problem is statewide. I make school board voting guides, and districts *everywhere* in Tx, in red and blue parts of the state, are in trouble.
Replying to @frankstrong
Sure it is not your local school board? They tax you they spend you money state government doesnt. Fire your school board

Hell yeah. We all are.
Ricky Williams says what he’s most proud of in his life is returning to Texas a decade and a half after he was done playing at UT to finish his degree. “At first I was just doing it for my mom. But I fell in love with school…I’m proud of the degree on my wall.” @3rdandlonghorn

There are 40 kids in my daughter’s 10th-grade English class because of staffing cuts and school closures in the district. Forty. And yet Tx legislators are congratulating themselves on how much they “support public education.” Vote them out.
The overcrowded classrooms are a direct result of underfunding by this administration. Vote Abbott and the rest, out!!!

Talarico is 1000x more Texan than Paxton.
Talarico: Texas is beautiful, Texas is bold, and most importantly, Texas is big. Big hair, big hearts, and big dreams. Our musicians are so iconic, they only need one name: Willie, Selena, Beyonce

I fight for Bell county. It’s been my home for over 20 + years. I graduated from Baylor but got here as soon as I could and made it my home. With my husband who’s a firefighter, we’ve built a life here. My son is in the Navy and we know about public service. Join us and donate if you can.

I’m more interested Bell county turnout than Dallas and Travis. Bell is a majority minority county, and has a huge Latino and Black population. I think it has a real shot at turning blue this cycle, driven by lower propensity young and minority voters. My model currently rates this as “toss-up” giving Rs the slight edge. I think seeing Bell continue to outpace Montgomery is a good sign if you’re rooting for a Talarico victory. We’ll continue to

An 8 point swing in this district will flip it to Democrats with Amelia representing.

Trump's speeches are so close to getting banned in Texas.
Trump: You have Darline and her very handsome husband. That’s a good looking husband.
