Today and every day, we remember and honor those who have lost their lives fighting for our country. Thank you to the heroes for their sacrifice. #txlege

I'm so proud that three of my bills have made it to the Senate! These bills are products of hard work and dedication to improving our education and corrections system for all Texans. #txlege

Thank you to the three amazing interns who joined my office during the 89th Legislative Session! These three made our office a better place by meaningfully contributing to our team, and we are so grateful for their hard work over the past months. #txlege

Juneteenth Celebration

NEW: As part of my effort to track @ElonMusk's influence in the Texas Capitol, I asked for all of his emails with Gov. Greg Abbott for the last several months. Abbott's office rejected my request, saying some of the records are too "intimate and embarrassing" to release. #txlege

Special session update. Please join in person or watch live.

LIVE: Texas House of Reps. Hearing on Congressional Redistricting x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Breaking Quorum is an exceptional and extraordinary act of last resort.  It is not a decision I take lightly.  But Texas Democrats will stand up and protect democracy, even if it comes at a great cost.

This special session was supposed to be about saving lives after tragic flooding in Texas. Instead, Governor Abbott and Donald Trump are trying to rig the election and cling to power. We broke quorum because the power belongs to the voters — not Donald Trump.

History will judge this moment. It will show a Governor who used the law as a weapon to silence his people, and it will show those of us who stood for a higher principle. We took an oath to the constitution, not to a politician’s agenda. #txlege

Trump threatened to arrest us. Abbott threatened to remove us from office. Paxton threatened to “hunt” us down. Yesterday, we received a bomb threat. But we will not back down.

We left Texas to fight for Texans. No matter what it takes – we're here to protect your voice. #txlege @GeneForTexas

The House is losing a legend in Rep Alma Allen. 20+ years as a guiding force on education and a source of genuine love and care. I couldn’t walk past without her asking how my kids were. Tough to lose her wisdom and heart, but she’s definitely earned her retirement! #txlege

What an honor it has been to serve alongside the mighty Dr. Alma Allen. A lifetime of service to her community and our state, from HISD, to the SBOE, to the Texas Legislature. I’ll miss her big hugs, wonderful stories, and encouragement for us newer members. Wishing her all the

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!
