  1. Lifelong Republican, and legislative staffer, Ryan Davenport, speaks out against Trump’s Texas redistricting scheme.

    ‘We can’t vote for Republicans anymore because you abuse every ounce of power you are given and the only option we have left is to join the Democrats….’

    Boom 💥

  2. The President’s push to criminalize flag burning is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court already ruled it’s protected free speech. Attacking the First Amendment doesn’t make us safer—it weakens democracy. We’ll fight back in the streets, in the courts, and in the legislature.

    The President’s move to criminalize flag burning is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has already ruled (Texas v. Johnson, 1989) that flag burning is protected free speech. Attacking the First Amendment doesn’t make us safer or stronger, it undermines our democracy. Nothing he will do will stop us from fighting in the streets, in the courts, and in the legislature.

  3. 🚨 The GOP wants to gerrymander in Texas but cries foul when Californians get to vote.

    The CA Supreme Court said NO. Their attempt to block Prop 50 is dead.

  4. I put my armor on, show you how strong I am (am)!

    I'm a Porsche with no brakes!

  5. The Trump administration spent approximately $500,000.00 to purchase trucks, have them wrapped in black and gold for a rap music video as a pr stunt/show.

    Our tax dollars wasted when the money could be better spent!!
