Search warrant Proves Harris Co Judge<U+2019>s Office @LinaHidalgoTX not cooperating w/ ongoing investigation by @TxDPS /DA. Staff apparently shared non-public info w/ @Elev8Strategies who obtained pecuniary interest in contract of Targeted Community Vaccine Outreach = misuse! + #txlege https://t.co/HK2foNdAvo
.@LinaHidalgoTX you said let science be science so why not say TMC numbers are real numbers?! Actual hospitalizations are 100s/day now, over 1/2 off of peak. Stop trying to block ISDs from offering in-person options for school kids after Labor Day! #txlege @DanPatrick @GovAbbott https://t.co/MzzIFvtkm2
On the way back to my office I ran into a great group of kids from @LbjMiddle in Johnson City, who were sitting in the Senate gallery. They were waiting to be recognized by their Senator, @DonnaCampbellTX. I gave them an outline of what was happening in the Health and Human<U+2026> https://t.co/l09Qa88vrf https://t.co/rMhX76kdGm
#SB8, Heartbeat Bill, authored by @SenBryanHughes w/ myself & 16 other bipartisan coauthors passes 18-12. Texas is now the largest State in the Union to pass Pro-life Heartbeat legislation in the Nation. #txlege @TPPF @TXRightToLife @TxValuesAction @TXCatholic @TXAlliance4Life
Proud Coauthor of #SB8, the Heartbeat bill, by @SenBryanHughes et el. & House sponsor @ShelbySlawson signed into law today by Gov @GregAbbott_TX! Texas takes a heartbeat stand for unborn children! #txlege @DanPatrick @SenatorLucio @BriscoeCain @TXCatholic @txvalues @TXRightToLife https://t.co/Sd2bA6zum2
Fentanyl is not just a controlled substance; it is Death coming across our border! #1 killer of Americans by overdose from age 18 to 45. Agree w/ @GovAbbott and Sen @joanhuffman that @TxDPS seized 319 Million fatal doses. This saved 10s of 1000s of US lives! #txlege @CrimeStopHOU https://t.co/WwQfg5gHti
News Flash! HarrisCo cancels questionable $11M Elevate Strategies cntrct. Requested @UTHealthHouston copy of proposal to Harris Co to confirm appalling, clearly questionable contract made by co court. St agency was clearly lowbid & qualified. @LinaHidalgoTX do you agree? #txlege https://t.co/4Ufx4ntwsy
I always say what gets measured gets fixed, and there's nothing as complex for every Texan to study and get information. I laid out my bill, SB 1581 that establishes a mandate review process at the Center for Healthcare Data at the University of Texas Health Science<U+2026> https://t.co/cqby5LiUeE
Good COVID19 news that cant be denied! The absolute #s of COVID patients in TX hospitals reported by DSHS flat for 1 mo at 1688 cases vs 1674 on 4/24! (+14) 3 day average hospitalizations even slightly down (-18). Simple fact for Memorial Day weekend as we continue to open up TX https://t.co/DW7jqa81WT
