I think #HarlingenCISD is on to something with having a fall break. It might be hell for parents, especially those families who rely on school lunch programs to keep their kids fed, but maybe the district can continue their breakfast and lunch programs.

#LRGV #RGV #HarlingenTexas #RioGrandeValley #PublicSchool

Reports of a loud boom and ground shaking in the #MissionTexas area. Folks have been saying a fireball or lightning fell from the sky. No clue what's happening, but it's nice that the #apocalypse chose the #RioGrandeValley to begin.

There have been jokers too.

She Knows How to Stay on Camera

Rep. Monica De La Cruz will proudly fall in-line next week in congress to crash the world economy by letting the debt ceiling fail unless social security cuts, food stamp cuts, Medicaid cuts and, defense cuts are made per the GOP.

Who knew Republicans would pull this by holding the economy hostage like Trump did for 35 days that ended in 2019?

This week beyond camera appearances:

1. No bills submitted on the planks of her platform 3.5 yr campaign run. https://www.monicaforcongress.us/

2. She did get appointed to the Financial cmte; she’ll be regulating the industries that donated $534,000.00+ to her campaign. #PayToPlay https://myrgv.com/featured/2023/01/12/de-la-cruz-selected-for-financial-services-committee/

And https://www.commondreams.org/news/house-republicans-financial-oversight-wall-street

3. She also voted for a house bill that would add over a billion U.S. national debt by eliminating 87,000 tax law, tax enforcement jobs over a ten year period. If enacted, the IRS funding clawback would just go on investigating Texas’s working poor of Texas. Texans have a median annual income of 45K which Monica now earns more than 4 times her constituents in her new tax bracket - WTG congresswoman! (It won’t pass the senate or the POTUS’s desk.)

4. Sworn in

5. Voted for the new speaker 15 times.

6. Made sure to document everything on camera and glammed it up on tv.

7. Did not pay back any of that “135,000 communist monies” she and her ex took from the American taxpayers from the paycheck protection plan.

Be sure to see her on break until Tuesday and she is “in district”.

Just a gentle reminder of this news flip-flopping leader our new congresswoman voted fifteen times. She was never going to have a backbone because McCarthy endorsed her failed campaign and ensured she had funding for her 2022 campaign.

She was won because of redistricting by the Tx GOP, low voter turnout and, party DEMs taking it for granted those who vote - will vote for DEMs just because there is a “D” after candidates’ names. Her district is mostly rural and spread thin with a huge helping of retirement age conservatives clinging to the good old days.

She has chosen to do most of her disinformation on her personal Facebook (FB) page so, the American people can be blocked from commenting. (FB See image, her campaign public relations guru posts comments to dissenting constituents.)

“GOP Leader McCarthy: Trump 'Bears Responsibility' For Violence, Won't Vote To Impeach."

nobody. NOBODY will "turn #texas blue" by telling working people you're gonna take their guns away. only a dumbass living in a bubble would think otherwise. #uvalde was a tragedy, and some logical reforms would help, but there's no separating gun culture from texan life altogether. left or right, the idea is futile. #beto is a 3-time loser for a reason, and a monster will continue to win. organize. keep the neighborhood fed. strike. arm yourself.
