Last week: The Texas House spent over 14 hours debating—but mostly, just standing around—amendments during a marathon proceeding to pass its biennial budget. https://www.texasobserver.org/slowly-and-painfully-texas-house-passes-337-billion-budget/
"On four separate occasions, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services secretary, has suggested that the measles outbreak in Texas, which is now over 500 cases, is beginning to subside and grow more slowly. But a review of state data indicates there’s no decline yet in the pace of cases."

No Sign of Texas Measles Outbreak Slowing, Contrary to RFK Jr.’s Claims
I'm less than thrilled to encounter a volunteer organizer doing comms/outreach for 50501 Texas shouting at people to follow their TikTok account.
It was pointed out that 30 states including Texas have banned TikTok access for employees, students, and visitors using state-issued equipment and/or state or quasi-state internet access networks & they said not to "bean soup" them.
Friend-o, that's not a bean soup situation --that's a 'know your reach' situation. Good grief.
The Texas legislature is voting on school vouchers tomorrow. There will be a protest at 9am Wed morning at the Capitol.
If you can’t make it, or even if you do, contact your rep and tell them to vote NO. Using Resistbot makes that easy.
