1/ Another Texas winter is just around the corner. And despite what @GovAbbott keeps repeating, everything that needed to be done was NOT done to fix our power grid (THREAD). #txlege 2/ Earlier this month, ERCOT — which is overseen by the Abbott-appointed commissioners of @PUCTX — released a report showing Texas was still vulnerable to grid failure if we experience another severe weather event.

Landed in DC, speaking for why we broke quorum:

"Do not make it harder to vote in Texas - yet Republicans are determined to ignore that, to promote the Big Lie that Trump won the last election. We are determined to kill this bill in this special session." @ChrisGTurner #txlege "I left because I am tired of sitting as a hostage by Republicans...we have citizens who are part of the fabric of this country that are having their rights stripped away." @Senfronia4Texas #txlege

🚨 The debate on SB 7 is underway. Follow this thread for updates. #txlege .@ErinForYall just raised a point of order on the Out-of-Bounds resolution for SB 7 (HR 2007) on the grounds that it was insufficiently detailed and materially misleading. #txlege

The author of the bill banning critical race theory in our public schools is facing tough questions by @jamestalarico for intending to concur with the Senate's decision to strip language requiring the history of white supremacy, slavery, etc. #txlege "I didn't bring this bill, nor would I ever bring this bill as an educator or as a person of consciousness." @jamestalarico
