I love senate hearings so we can watch @DonnaCampbellTX be an absolute rude and condescending legislator to underpaid state workers.

Fun fact, a few are still sitting members! A FOA request could get you some emails that would be eye opening.

.@GregAbbott_TX has had 24 years in state leadership to “eliminate all rapists,” yet this year Texas leads the nation with the most incidents of rape. 24 years is enough.

The governor canceled the paychecks of *more GOP staffers than Democratic staff*, as there are more Republicans in the Legislature. Did you approve of @GregAbbott_TX attacking *your* staff even though you "showed up for work"? Explain that please because it makes no sense #TxLege

The median Texas Article X staffer earns $55,923 annually. In Austin, an individual making this much is earning only $500 more, annually, than the income threshold used by the City of Austin to determine eligibility for subsidized housing. #txlege bit.ly/3rugOBF

Remember, Governor Abbott vetoed article X of the budget not House members. We passed the budget and he vetoed 2,100 state employees pay because he was mad he didn't get his way. #txlege

Can the LBB just move money so that it and other vetoed legislative agencies can pay employees? Asking for 2000 friends. #txlege

Staffers working all weekend should be paid, no matter who they work for or what position their boss takes on any of this. It shouldn't be in question. Period #txlege

My favorite game to play is which legislator looks at their phone more than the public testifying. Not gonna call out any names that rhyme with Senator Muse #txlege
