“…Influenceable appears to be recruiting soc media figures to share posts about a new film that claims the #texas Legis is secretly controlled by Dems intent on destroying Paxton, a claim that has for yrs been pushed by Dunn-backed groups.
Screenshots of one of the recruitment pitches, which were published recently by the conservative website Current Revolt, offer influencers $50 for sharing one post about the film. https://apple.news/AGJ-7fRfdSvaY9qDftI5ZqQ

"In a rare, friendly move to low-income renters, Texas lawmakers this year outlawed a form of discrimination that allowed homeowners associations to ban some tenants from their neighborhoods.
"The move — spearheaded by state Rep. Chris Turner, a Grand Prairie Democrat — was aimed squarely at a North Texas neighborhood that tried to oust poorer tenants who get assistance from the federal housing choice voucher program and keep new ones from taking their place. The voucher program, known as Section 8, pays a portion of a low-income household’s rent."

> According to an analysis from The #TexasTribune, the state has seen eight #MassShootings over the past decade, which have coincided with the loosening of gun regulations and rules by #RepublicanLawmakers over the same period.
Abbott and other #Republicans, including Sen. #TedCruz and Lt. Gov. #DanPatrick, were onstage when O’Rourke condemned their refusal to act.
