  6. "Our job as state representatives is to fully fund our public schools. We haven’t done that, so let’s not talk about adding some more.

  11. From Michelle Pitcher: Thanks to #Texas' Court of Criminal Appeals, no one on death row has been granted a new trial under a law meant to protect them from junk science-based convictions.

  16. "What Abbott is doing is McCarthyism with a #Texas accent. So if you think about McCarthy, he didn’t need to prove that someone was a communist. The accusation itself became the evidence.
