1. On March 8, @RonDeSantisFL held a press conference & insisted Florida wasn't banning books, it was simply removing PORN
He based it on a survey of 23 school districts
But the survey was kept secret
Until now
The books Florida is banning as "PORN" is absolutely wild

Texas: 9th largest economy in the world, 39th in the country for public school funding.
Until that changes, no one in the #TxLege has fulfilled their campaign promises to educators & parents.
Thank you, Rep. @GinaforAustin, for speaking truth. 👏

TX public schools protect children & hire quality educators. Vouchers & Education Savings Accounts would siphon public school money away to private schools that are NOT required to enforce The Texas Do Not Hire Registry during their hiring process. #vOUCHersHurt #TxEd #TxLege

Tomorrow, the Texas House will have the chance to de-emphasize the STAAR in school A-F ratings. Tell House members to rein in STAAR now: p2a.co/KrpJI4X

I’m running for U.S. Senate because Texans deserve a Senator whose team is Texas. Ted Cruz only cares about himself.

I hear House Republicans out on TV saying they would never vote to cut veterans’ benefits.
In case there’s any confusion, I made a little chart that could help them out.
ALT Did you vote for a bill that cuts domestic spending by 22%? If no, you voted to protect veterans' benefits. If yes, did the bill say: "This does NOT apply to veterans benefits?" If yes, you voted to protect veterans' benefits. If no, you voted to cut veterans' benefits.

Just got to play 3 insane shows in Houston and I’m waking up smiling reminiscing about how much fun we all had. Loving this tour so much because of the passion these crowds put into it all - seriously can’t wait for Atlanta ☺️ PS for those asking how I cut my hand, I’m totally fine and it was my fault completely - tripped on my dress hem and fell in the dark backstage while running to a quick change - braced my fall with my palm. It was all very Mercury in retrograde coded. Don’t worry about me I’m gooooood 😘
