One of the biggest issues anticipated is Gov #Abbot withholding funding for public schools that have had cut bus routes and other vital resources to operate because of budget shortfalls. He and LtGov #DanPatrick are hell bent on funneling public money to private schools via a voucher program.

This will be a big fight this coming session.
Anyway, here’s a pic with me and my state rep #JonRosenthal

@GottaLaff Isn't #Texas #DanPatrick the one trying to evade accountability for his own corruption, etc.? Just asking... pot/kettle???

'In late 2022, a group of conservative activists & academics set out to abolish the #DEI programs at Texas' public universities.

They linked up with a former aide to #DanPatrick, who made banning D.E.I. initiatives a top priority. Targeting well-known schools like Texas A&M, they researched which offices & employees should be expunged. The campaign quickly yielded results: In May, #Texas approved legislation banning all such programs from public institutions of higher learning'

@augieray When a spokesman for *them* (#Texas Lt. Gov. #DanPatrick ) said “There are more important things than living”, that should’ve been a dead giveaway that #MAGA is a death cult.

@_L1vY_ @kweerious #Texas Lt. Governor and #MAGA #cult devotee #DanPatrick said it ‘best’: “There are more important things than living!” https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/texas-dan-patrick-there-are-more-important-things-living-n1189811

@luckytran “There are more important things than living!” (Especially on #Christmas !) - #DanPatrick , #MAGA Lt. King of #Texas.

@SocraticEthics #Texas is a total shit-show because the #KeyboardWarriors in the #MAGA cult are #DoNothing #BananaRepublicans.

#NeverForget that #MAGA Lt. Governor #DanPatrick said that “There are more important things than living!”
