I communicate with Right-wingers on a daily bases on Twitter these days. I can tell you, this is no gaf or one-off. In Texas this is literally a common talking point. Especially after the Paxton impeachment. The GOP literally believes that their party, IN TEXAS, is being controlled by Liberals. I see these accusations almost daily now. Often times targeted at the Texas Speaker of the house, for simply mediating the two sides (which is literally his job). The level of brainwashing has hit an all time high... ((sigh)) I am at a loss for words... @collindemocrat @dentondemocrats #txlege

Earlier this session um there was a press conference that I believe every member of your caucus likely attended talking about a fifteen thousand dollar pay raise for teachers and I notice that your amendment has a ten thousand dollar pay raise for teachers. Are you saying that teachers aren't worth that extra $5,000 that y'all had were in this room just two months ago talking about?

No, sir. We we did that on purpose for this is your opportunity to bring an amendment to the amendment. You want to join me? $15,000? Let's do it. I'll put my signature down if you put yours down. Would you do $30,000 for teachers?

Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that. Yeah, would you need $30,000? You want it you want to be a big boy? Let's do it. Would you I'll I'll delay $15,000. Would you do 30,000 for the few years? How much time do you need?

Would you do 30,000 for teachers? Hey, are you gonna sign it? For 40,000? Are you gonna sign it? Cheap seats, man. Come on. Let's go. No, we'll just vote it down.

Thank you. Have a good day. Thank you for not caring about teachers.
