The Texas Department of State Health Services is reporting that 624 measles cases have been confirmed since late January. This is an increase of 27 since the April 18 update. Of these cases 64 have hospitalized and 2 have died. 602 cases are among unvaccinated people.

I was planning to go but ended up missing it. Thanks for reporting!

Early voting starts tomorrow at 8 am for the Lewisville ISD school board of trustees! Vote to re-elect Sheila Taylor!!!

Papa Francesco was a good man. “We remember Pope Francis as a Pope of peace through his tireless appeals and constant visits to show his closeness to those suffering the consequences of one of the most unjust human-made disasters: war.” www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

Get this man some mental health support. Although not perfect, Biden won the 2020 presidential election and governed respecting the Constitution, leading the country out of the pandemic and avoiding a recession.

Vice President Vance’s visit in Rome did not go as planned: no one likes him even in Italy! At the Vatican they call him Baby Catholic (vance converted to Catholicism recently). The pope is recovering so he sent someone else with the mission of talking about wars and immigrants.

Happening today in Dallas! Unbelievable.

Do you live in Lewisville ISD? Voting for school board is starting next week. Vote for incumbent Sheila Taylor! Her opponent is supported by representative Ben Bumgarner, HD63 who voted provouchers!

Jess Yass donated to Gov. Greg Abbott so that he could distribute the money to republican representatives and buy their votes in favor of vouchers. The investment of $12 millions resulted in $1 billion per year going to private schools. Better than investing in the stock market.

If news regarding higher education are not depressing enough read about SB 37 that was approved by the TX senate last week. The bill would drastically limit how the state's public universities teach their students about history, race and inequality. www.texastribune.org/2025/04/10/t...

Early this morning the Texas house approved a plan that would create education savings accounts, a form of vouchers that families could use to pay for private school tuition and other school-related expenses, like textbooks, transportation and therapy. www.texastribune.org/2025/04/17/t...

Republicans block Texans right to vote on voucher scam. Say no to SB2

Trump interfering with Texas state legislature! President Donald Trump told House Republicans that a Texas voucher program is key to his national education agenda in a call during their Wednesday morning caucus meeting. www.texastribune.org/2025/04/15/t...

Today the Texas house will vote on vouchers and public school fundings. Watch here. www.texastribune.org/2025/04/15/t...

Texans! Take action now against vouchers!
