This bill that MAGA Republicans just passed is the most corrupt bill in history. It will do tremendous damage to Texans. It is also the largest act of political suicide I have ever seen. Keep drinking the Trump-aid, Cornyn. We are coming for you in 2026. We must fight back. We must show John Cornyn that Texans wont take his corruption and cruelty laying down. Chip in $50 today to help me unseat him. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/terry-virts-social?refcode=fb
