🧵Here is the letter sent by a DPS Trooper where he discusses the unsafe, dangerous, and inhumane path migrants are forced to take to cross the Rio Grande. #txlege My name is [REDACTED] I ama very proud Trooper and Medic for Texas DPS. I love this State and this Department. I fully understand the mission of Operation Lone Star and completely agree that we need to secure the border from bad people. I want to inform you of some of the issues

🧵Honestly, I don't think a lot of Democrats see the big picture with public education. The GOP wants it to fail. They want to choke the life out of it. They see that it has created a generation that has completely turned on them. They are furious. This is retribution. They want to make teachers miserable. They underpay them to make sure. They even screw their retirement pay over. The more that quit, the better. Then the GOP wags its fingers and says school districts are failuring. Then it roles out private charters and funds them

Brock lives in TX and was involved in Jan. 6th in DC. He had been a pilot but was fired afterward. He is now a home inspector in the DFW area and @TRECommission is fine with it. Texas Realtor Cos. are overrun with MAGA supporters. Their PACs regularly support GOP candidates. You may remember Brock was the guy with a handful of zip tie handcuffs he planned on using against elected officials. Image

🧵There is a lot of confusion I am seeing on how people vote in Texas and how the statistical charts can track them. Let me try to clarify some of that for you all. Anything you do around voting is public record and the TX Sec of State has those records. Registering, early voting, change of address, you name it.
In Texas, when you register to vote, you do not register as a Democrat or Republican as in some other states.

🧵Let's get down to #earlyvoting brass tacks. Final Total Votes:
EV: 5.15M
Mail ballots 319K
Total 5.47M which was 31% of voters
'18 EV: 4.52M
629K more votes in '22 Image The Top 7 Urban/ Suburban bluer counties finished strong, above '18's haul yesterday. This was thanks to Harris County, which came in w/ 105K votes. Overall the top 7 came up short 297K votes from '18. Not too bad, but it means ED needs to be strong for Democrats to have a shot. Image

The charter bus co. @govabbott hired to bus migrants to DC is owned by Cart Enterprises in NC. It's owner appears to be Javon David Elder. From my research, he was in prison for dealing drugs just prior to starting this biz 2 years ago. Why would Abbott hire this company? Corporate Records for Cart Enterprises. Created 9/17/2019 in NC. Javon David Elder is a member.
