Here’s pic of Sen-Elect @jamestalarico wearing his boots on the Texas House floor. As you’ll see from my 7 year old thread, Talarico had plenty of company. #txlege

A historic week in Texas is just the beginning. I am thrilled that @Senfronia4Texas, a civil rights icon, will now lead the Texas House. Madam Speaker Senfronia Thompson! #txlege #history @TexasHDC

When we commissioned Kermit Oliver for a portrait of Ms T. last year, he left the pages on the book in front of her blank… to symbolize she had more work ahead. That work will be leading the Texas House, as our next Speaker. There is nobody better. #txlege @Senfronia4Texas

This makes me so happy. @Jon_RosenthalTX will be a fantastic Railroad Commissioner. His campaign team did a phenomenal job. Kindness & competence over racism & bigotry. Let’s go! #txlege
In 2025, @bofrench asked Twitter, "Who is a bigger threat to America: Muslims or Jews?" Today, a Jewish engineer and his Muslim campaign manager ran circles around him across the entire state of Texas. Hope you got your answer, Bo. #txlege #RRC

“Democrats have to deliver,” Gene Wu, the chairman of the @TexasHDC, said from his home in Houston on Wednesday morning. “No excuses, no whining, no crying.” Thanks @lmcgaughy for highlighting the work of Texas Dems across the board! Let’s go! #txlege
“We’re going to let cities decide if they want to have rainbow sidewalks again.” For the first time in about 25 years, Texas Democrats will have a real chance to govern. They aren’t wasting any time. nytimes.com/2026/11/04/us/te…

Dean Thompson deserves to be Speaker. I look forward to electing her.
For anyone wondering, last week, I asked House Democratic Caucus Chair @GeneforTexas about whether he would toss in his hat for speaker should Dems take the majority. His answer: "Abso-f*cking-lutely not." #txlege

Texans voted for change tonight, and they deserve a Speaker who will put their interests first. Dean Thompson has dedicated her life to public service, and no one understands this institution or the responsibility that comes with leading it better than she does. She has the experience, the relationships, and the trust of her colleagues to bring this House together and get things done. I am proud to support Dean Thompson for Speaker as we begin this historic new chapter for Texas. #txlege
