More than 8 hours after the @TexasGOP online convention should have begun, Chair @jamesdickey says they'll adjourn for the night and try again tomorrow. Technical issues throughout the day meant they never could get started, credentials have not been issued to delegates #TxLege

Four hours in, SREC votes 51 to 5 to resume the virtual Republican State Convention Saturday instead of Friday to give time to iron out problems and do training. This is what Chairman James Dickey wanted from the start. pic.twitter.com/sp1Mu7PdG5

The pandemic-driven economic downturn has left more than 5.4 million Americans with no job and no insurance.

It makes it all the more stunning that Joe Biden -- and the establishment Democrats who sabotaged Bernie Sanders, enabling his nomination -- cannot see a way to pass Medicare for All. As a result, I will employ a voting tactic in November of simply not casting my ballot for any Democrat who cannot support M4A or the Green New Deal.
The Texas Democratic Party’s strategy is just that, recruit former Republicans like @wendydavis. It’s a failed strategy. So how about trying something new, like recruiting candidates who support @AllOnMedicare @SunriseMvmtHTX https://t.co/fPDGMGCgiv
