Ted Cruz's RNC speech last night?

"Staggering, dishonest" “Simply grotesque” “There’s no evidence” “Nothing to support the claim”

Here’s what PolitiFact, WaPo, AP, and almost every major media outlet in Texas are saying: 🧵
“[Cruz said Democrats] ‘wanted votes from illegals more than they wanted to protect our children.’ This is simply grotesque rhetoric… There’s no evidence of this”

washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
PolitiFact gave Cruz’s offensive claim about “votes from illegals” a PANTS ON FIRE.

Associated Press: “FACT FOCUS:” “There is nothing to support the claim” that Cruz is making.

apnews.com/article/fact-c…
Dallas Morning News: Cruz’s “assertion brought a quick rebuke from PolitiFact”

dallasnews.com/news/politics/…
Austin American-Statesman: “There is no evidence that migrants have contributed to an increase in crime in major U.S. cities” like Cruz claims.

statesman.com/story/news/pol…
Houston Chronicle: “Numerous studies have found immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born citizens.”

houstonchronicle.com/politics/elect…
Chron: “There is no current evidence that non-citizens are risking deportation to vote, let alone sway entire elections.”

Ted Cruz is pushing “staggering, dishonest” lies instead of real solutions to the crisis at our border. Texans see right through it. (/🧵)

In addition, here are some steps to make sure you can still cast your ballot today. 👇🧵

- Dean Senfronia Thompson, Texas State Representative “We want to be able to have Medicaid available for all women and women of color – particularly Black women who have suffered the most from maternal problems during the childbirth process.” - Dean Senfronia Thompson, Texas State Representative
"Factors like the lack of Medicaid expansion exacerbate this [Black maternal morbidity rates] disparity"

- Vice Chair Rhetta Bowers, Texas State Representative “Factors like the lack of Medicaid expansion exacerbate this [Black maternal morbidity rates] disparity by limiting access to timely and appropriate medical interventions and increasing the likelihood of adverse outcomes medical interventions during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.

Texas is ground zero for voter suppression.

We're doing the work that the State of TX won’t – working past a paper shortage to print 500k voter registration cards & send them across TX.

$1=6 voter registration cards. Chip in to #LetThePeopleRegister👇 txdem.co/LTPR
Last week, TX once again made headlines as the Secretary of State’s office announced that they will only be providing limited numbers of voter registration applications to Texans, blaming paper shortages. #txlege
Meanwhile, thousands of voters across the state are having their applications for mail ballots rejected every day because of voter suppression bill SB 1 and the State & counties unpreparedness to implement it. #txlege

Here are 5 things Abbott should be prioritizing instead of pandering to our failed, twice-impeached ex-president:

#txlege
While Abbott searches for a project manager to lead the building of a wall no one wants, Texans are still waiting for answers from the state gov. on ANY investment in our unregulated power grid. Abbott should drop what he’s doing and make fixing the grid his top priority.
Nearly 53k Texans have died after contracting COVID-19. With a dwindling vaccination rate, millions of unvaccinated Texans stand no chance against the Delta COVID-19 variant. The Governor, who is vaccinated himself, should be advocating for more Texans to become fully vaccinated.
