• Mar 11 2017: What's Katrina Pierson been up to lately? Mostly still spinning and twisting.

• Mar 19 2017: "The Texas AG sued to keep a Bible quote in school. Now he’s troubled by Muslim prayers." Ken Paxton. Hypocrite.
• Mar 19 2017: MT @GregAbbott_TX: "Knock and the door will be opened to you. -- Luke 11:9." The governor is just trolling us now, right?
