Rep. Drew Darby on the pressure from the Senate/Office of the Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick to pass a THC ban this session: "We were given an ultimatum. If it didn't go back to a complete ban, then there would not be another House bill advanced in the Texas Senate. That was perfectly clear." #txlege

Anyone who claims that there's a religious revival among Gen Z must explain this data from the General Social Survey. 38% of Gen Z never attend religious services When Millennials were 18-29, only 31% never attended.

Bo French’s words do not reflect my values nor the values of the Republican Party. Antisemitism and religious bigotry have no place in Texas. I am calling for the immediate resignation and replacement of Bo French as Tarrant County Republican Party Chairman. #txlege   sacurrent.com/news/north-tex…

Thank you Dan Patrick for your leadership. There are too many in our party who work too hard to support good people trying to do good things. As a 5th generation Jewish American I know what anti-semitism looks like. I echo your call for a new GOP leader in Tarrant County.

Too many examples of Bo French’s bigotry and hate. This is one of the most egregious examples. Go fishing on X for some of the other prime examples. Too many to list here. New leadership with Tarrant County Republican Party is a given. Clear the deck. #blessyourheart

It’s time for Tarrant County GOP Chairman Bo French to step down. This pattern of reckless, incendiary rhetoric is harmful and does not reflect our party or our values. We can do better, and we must do better.

Fetterman when asked re: timing “Oh my God, I just want to go home. I've already my I've missed our entire trip to to the beach…, there's no drama that we know the votes are going to go…And I think, I don't think it's really helpful to put people here till some ungodly hour.”

MUST READ: The worst kept secret in Austin? Wealthy folks who don't live here are buying condos so their kids can unlock in-state tuition. The tactic, which is legal, means they own for a few years before selling (often to another non-Texas family) and save upwards of $100K in
