First, Trump played games with the Census from the start. He unsuccessfully tried to add a citizenship question and exclude undocumented immigrants, an illegal move breaking 230 years of precedent. Unfortunately, his push for it likely chilled participation regardless. — PolitiTweet.org

The Census data being released today may well be flawed, and not an accurate picture of the racial makeup of our country. We won’t know for sure until 2022, when over- and under-count data are released. But here’s why experts say the data may be distorted: — PolitiTweet.org

Across Texas, a virus called RSV is spreading like wildfire, with many children contracting it alongside Covid. Experts say the virus was kept dormant last year through mask wearing. But today cases are exploding. @GregAbbott_TX must let schools mask up. https://t.co/ONuNPZkW0e — PolitiTweet.org

7:19 am CT and @CarolforTexas is still on the Texas Senate floor! 13 hours now calling attention to how bad GOP voter suppression legislation would be for Texas. You can watch her filibuster here: https://t.co/b4uPLOt3oE — PolitiTweet.org

Proud of @CarolforTexas. It’s almost 3 am CT and she’s still going strong on the Texas Senate floor to filibuster the GOP’s latest voter suppression bill. Thank you, Senator! — PolitiTweet.org

I’m thankful to the local leaders across Texas who have stepped up to show leadership in the absence of leadership from the governor. We can beat this virus. We must do it together. https://t.co/Bo9UOQK1da — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Enough games. School children shouldn’t be subject to his primary politics. If he’s not going to do his job, he should get out of the way and let local leaders do it for him. Get Texans vaccinated. Allow mask requirements in schools. Get this crisis under control. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

The longer Abbott waits to show leadership, the longer people will suffer and our economy will hurt. 10,000 are hospitalized. If COVID keeps spreading, several industries will be devastated again, more people will lose work. A nightmare for Texas. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Conservatives already know this, and it’s why they’ve never quite trusted him. He acts tough, but lets others step up to do his job for him. It’s a dog and pony show that he’s used on Covid, the power grid, and every pet issue his base cares about. https://t.co/Nf361HGEne https://t.co/w0c8enYCje — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Greg Abbott is a finger-in-the-wind politician acting with cowardice. He appeases his base by banning mask mandates but doesn’t say a word when communities defy him. He knows they’re doing his job for him. And he will cower in silence until he can act like a tough guy again. — PolitiTweet.org

When Gov. Abbott himself imposed a statewide mask mandate last year, there were 6,904 Texans hospitalized for Covid. Today more than 10,000 Texans are hospitalized—and he’s still banning communities from taking precautions. Do your job or get out of the way, @GregAbbott_TX. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

The most fundamental duty of any public servant is to help keep the people they serve safe and healthy. Greg Abbott has failed. In fact, he’s quickly turning Texas into the capital of Covid misery. https://t.co/9MDH4iu4Cs — PolitiTweet.org
