In a nation infested with awful state supreme courts, the Supreme Court of Texas is especially heinous. If you're looking for a way to unseat the worst of its judges, donating to the Find Out PAC is a good place to start. Texans deserve better than these clowns.

Find Out PAC – F*ck Around With Our Freedoms And FIND OUT!

FIND OUT PAC – Three Texas Supreme Court Justices f*cked around with our reproductive freedoms, and now they're going to find out.

I'm hearing and reading so many stories about how the dock workers strike could wreak havoc on our supply chain and all I can think is, well then you better pay them what they're asking. Seems like an easy solution. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Scenes from day one of the ILA strike, Port of Houston. A few observations: -ILA locals from along the Texas coast showed up in solidarity despite brutal heat -Estimated 1,000+ folks present -Multiple ILA members told me "you should get a job here," and almost everyone was proud of the work they do
