Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick oversaw one of the sloppiest, most radical legislative sessions in modern Texas history. Their extreme agenda failed, so now they want to defund the legislature. They should defund their own salaries instead. https://t.co/zwonuPGQuH — PolitiTweet.org

It took a ton of guts and maturity for @naomiosaka to be as upfront and revealing as she has been about her mental health. I hope it will inspire sports organizations and the sports journalism industry to show maturity as well—make positive changes. It’s past time. End — PolitiTweet.org

A post-game press conference is often qualitatively different from other press events. The questions center a lot on the athlete’s psychology. Politicians or others don’t often get probed like that. So Osaka’s connection between this experience and her mental health rings true. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

It would be quite unacceptable for an elected official to say, “I’m never gonna answer any media questions.” That person doesn’t belong in public office. But an athlete is a different situation. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Sports and entertainment journalism are different from most other news journalism because, among other things, in most (not all) cases they are not focused on holding public officials/bodies accountable. They still have value, but they do not serve the same public purpose. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Professional sports organizations, as well as the sports journalism industry, revolve around and are driven by commerce first, not concern for athletes’ well being. There are great sports journalists, but money makes the whole thing move. @naomiosaka could spark needed changes. — PolitiTweet.org

Today we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. May their sacrifice inspire us to work toward a future in which other families do not have to grieve the loss of their loved ones in combat. #MemorialDay2021 — PolitiTweet.org

🚨Texas Democrats have officially blocked the Republican voter suppression bill and spared us time to act. NOW is the time for the U.S. Senate to end the filibuster and safeguard our democracy before it’s too late. @Sen_JoeManchin and @SenatorSinema, we’re counting on you. — PolitiTweet.org

Julián Castro @JulianCastro

Texas House Democrats aren’t letting democracy die in the darkness. They have walked out of this sham session as Republicans try to jam through their voter suppression bill. This is the kind of fight we need from our legislators. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans wrote their voter suppression bill behind closed doors. They held the debate in the middle of the night. They blocked reporters from the chamber and hid amendments from the public. They voted on a Sunday morning to ban voting on Sundays. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, @JoeBiden, for speaking out against Texas Republicans’ assault on our democracy. SB7 weaponizes our election law to keep people out. We must defeat it. https://t.co/6LBkjn7rRn — PolitiTweet.org

The final draft of Texas Republicans’ voter suppression bill is as bad as you can get: -restricts registration, absentee, weekend voting, and polling hours -ends curbside voting and discourages rides to polls -“disability check” for mail ballots We must defeat SB7. — PolitiTweet.org
