President @barackobama.bsky.social called this week to congratulate me on the campaign we’re building to take on Abbott. Something special is happening here and the world is taking notice of the momentum that is growing across Texas.

Texans are hungry for change — we're all in and we can do this.

I’m running for governor.

For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.

But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.

Sharpton: "We're still here! We've come this far by faith. It was against the law to read and write! It was against the law to marry, but we've come this far by faith. I don't care what they do in Washington, I care what we do in the community. We've beat people bigger than Trump!"

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

MarkWayne Mullin "is the only U.S. senator without at least a bachelor’s degree."

Markwayne Mullin is a senator from Oklahoma, which ranked 50th in education.

Markwayne Mullin is prone to a "misspoke"
