“This bill allows the option of building homes at different types and price points to meet the demand and needs of buyers...Lowering the size and type of residential housing will increase the amount of housing that can be built and lowers housing costs.” https://www.texastribune.org/2025/05/27/texas-house-tiny-homes/ #Texas #TXLeg #zoning #housing

@TexasObserver #RankedChoiceVoting in #Texas would 'dethrone' #BananaRepublicans. But the #TXleg will never allow it.

#PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting would have the same effect - if people in Texas are smart enough to figure this out.

👏 Texas Senator Mayes Middleton files SB 692 to eliminate Daylight Saving Time by end of 2025! Tell #TXLeg YES on SB 692!

“The US tried permanent Daylight Saving Time in 1974. 79% of the population was in favor at the beginning. But after one dreadful winter, support dropped to 42%.” #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime #TXLeg https://www.whitesboronewsrecord.com/article/342,stop-the-time-change

“Make Standard Time permanent again. It is better for health and safety. It is the most biologically normal time.” #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime #TXLeg

Texas: New: SB 516 seeks illegal, unsafe, permanent Daylight Saving Time. Filed by Senator Mayes Middleton (R-Galveston), who previously sponsored bills seeking pDST and bills seeking legal, safe, permanent Standard Time. Permanent DST would put TX sunrise past 8am 3–5 months, later even then 9am! When last tried, it cost lives and business, and Texans rejected it. Please urge him and your own state legislators to #DitchTheSwitch the quick, safe, and lasting way, with permanent Standard Time, not permanent DST! #DitchDST #TXLeg #MAHA

“Permanent Standard Time aligns more with human circadian rhythm.” Remind your legislators! #DitchDST #TXLeg https://www.houstonpress.com/news/daylight-saving-time-year-round-sleep-researchers-say-think-again-17706077

#BananaRepublican #DadePhelan is pressured to resign as House Speaker in the #TXleg because he was “debilitatingly intoxicated” while presiding over House proceedings. 👉 https://www.kwtx.com/2023/05/23/texas-ag-ken-paxton-calls-house-speaker-dade-phelan-resign-accusing-him-being-drunk-capitol/?outputType=amp

How is he any different than ALL #BananaRepublicans who are ‘drunk on power’ in a #Supermajority? 🤔

Closing libraries instead of returning some banned books sounds like it was part of the plan 😞 #txleg

Texas: Click https://www.votervoice.net/AASM/campaigns/103182/respond right now to stop HB 1422 today! Permanent DST would push sunrise past 8:30am. It cost lives and business in 1974. Amend to permanent Standard Time. #TXLeg

Texas: Click below, tell legislators NO to HB 1422. Permanent Daylight Saving Time would put sunrise past 8:30am. Permanent Standard Time is healthier and safer! #TXLeg https://www.votervoice.net/AASM/campaigns/103182/respond

If I was a Texas legislator, I would be ready, as soon as SB1515 hit the com'tee docket, would be ready with my amendments for the Q'uran, the Diamond, Heart, and Lotus Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Torah. Maybe even the Book of Satan, if I wanted to really make a point.

Consistently amazing levels of regulatory oversight in the Texas energy sector.

"For decades, Tom Craddick has sat on the Texas house committee overseeing the oil industry.

His daughter, Christi Craddick, is the state's top oil regulator.

Last year, the family made $10 million for their oil holdings. And no one knew. Until today."

Dear members of the #TxLeg who understand the anti-trans bills filed and moving forward are complicit in the #genocide of citizens of #Texas

Please do this.
Call out your #republican colleagues like #Nebraska state #SenMeganHunt did during this speech.

Do this and fight for #TransKids

@StampedingLonghorn Ask Austin for standard time. Several #TXleg bills currently in play. https://wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home

#TXLeg SJR-9 to end Daylight Saving Time by permanent Standard Time with voter approval from Senator Judith Zaffirini is now coauthored by Senator Nathan Johnson. Thank you! 👏 Bill is also now referred to State Affairs Committee chaired by Senators Bryan Hughes & Angela Paxton! 👏 Mexico restored permanent Standard Time just a few months ago. Arizona, Hawaii, all 5 US territories, and most nations have observed permanent Standard Time for decades. Please tell legislators to support SJR-9! Find your Texas legislators here: https://wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home

🚨 #TXLeg Rep Will Metcalf (R) files HJR-82, HB-1425, & HB-1422 for permanent Daylight Saving Time. Would put sunrise past 8am for 5 months. Cost lives in 1974. American Medical Association, National Safety Council, and dozens more oppose pDST and endorse permanent Standard Time instead. Please stop and amend this bill!

🚨 #TXLeg Representative Mike Schofield (R) files HB-417 & HJR-22 for permanent Daylight Saving Time. Would put sunrise past 8am for 5 months. Cost lives in 1974. American Medical Association, National Safety Council oppose. Please amend to permanent Standard Time! #EndDaylightSaving
