Look for the cowgirl trailer, pick up some swag and play the Water Grab Games and win a prize. This coming Monday night we meet as usual at 8 pm. We will have a go at Data Cente

We're here to tell you, it was a state of affairs alright, which is why LIV is joining the charge across Texas to put a stop to t

Professor Pape: Iran War Not Over, Trump TRAPPED . The President has us in the middle of a dangerous war and both parties in Congress are still playing partisan politics. Get involved, folks. Thanks to the Texas Tribune, for this excellent article, " Texas is giving data centers more than $1 billion in tax breaks each year ." After you read it, don't mourn, organize with LIV! More below. We missed this notice in our last email about a hearing in the Texas House on Data Center

Why has Russell Vought, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) been missing for 15 months? It's a simple question posed by a member of the House Budget Committee, Congressman Brendon Boyle.

March 31 Gallup Poll on the U.S. job market HERE : "The Data: In Q4 2025, 19% of college-educated workers said it was a good time to find a quality job, compared with 35% of workers without a college degree. The Trend: This marks a reversal from prior years, when college-educated workers were the more optimistic group. In addition, just 19% of Gen Z workers are optimistic about the job market, compared with a third of Gen X workers and 42% of baby boomers." Who is the Trum

In this Edition: • For discussion tonight, Picking our Favorite Wars HERE • LIV Endorses Susanna Ledesma-Woody, Runoff for Travis County Commissioner HERE

Today, people across the globe are revisiting (politically speaking) the grave of Henry Kissinger, the deeply hated by millions of Americans, national security advisor and Secretary of State during the Vietnam era.

as a school board member, Susanna was the only county official to reject Tesla’s incentive deal, knowing full well working with bad actors would hurt working families.

BIG WAR NEWS:: Glenn Greenwald's Show on 3/21 about the damage inflicted on Israel (casualties we're not hearing about in mainstream media) that Glenn uses to make this claim: "The U.S. and Israel Are Not Winning the War."

This War is also not a game, as apparently this administration seems to believe using Nintendo to promote our unhinged leadership.

Thanks to former Texas Land Commissioner, Jerry Patterson, and MANY others, the plan for a wall through Big Bend, one of the most biodiverse national parks in the country, is getting some reconsideration.

We just heard the industry captors are spending big bucks to stop Hawk Dunlap from getting into the highly likely runoff for Railroad Commission

This is an open meeting, but come prepared to talk about how you can help LIV get better organized. We have a yeoman's task -- to reach out to the 8+ million Texans who call themselves independent! We will share plenty of ideas with you tonight.

LIV is out to end one-party rule in Texas. Democrats haven't held statewide office since 1992. Most large municipalities are dominated by the Democratic Party. And independents and minor party candidates are largely locked out of the system altogether.

Tonight, Monday, February 16, at 8 pm, LIV will hold a strategy meeting for members and donors only to discuss primary races that we think deserve independent voters' attention. These are the hot contests.

It's not news, but deserves tp be said, Texas is facing a water crisis that's been brewing for year The Texas House Natural Resources Committee held a nearly 7-hour interim session hearing on Tuesday, February 10, focused on Texas groundwater.

Check out Bettencourt's letter to Attorney General Ken Paxton HERE. It was shared with the Hood County Commissioners Court just before the Commissioners were about to vote on a 6-month moratorium (a pause) on a data center (the first of six facing Hood County) until they received answers to their questions.

The fight between the Ds and Rs on immigration related to DHS/ICE funding decision has, for the moment, led to a partial shutdown. The only good news is that America is figuring out how we got into a booby trap with the butt ugly "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB). The administration's step-and-fetchers in the GOP locked and loaded a new paramilitary style Immigration and Custom Enforcement Agency (ICE).

In light of very recent events involving the DHS/ICE funding vote deadline on Friday the 13th by Congress, we are opening up tonight's online meeting at 8. Members and nonmembers are invited!

The League of Independent Voters (LIV) is, to our knowledge, the only membership association for independent voters in the country, despite that we are a 45% plurality of American voters.
