Awfully suspicious right before the midterms lol. Seems like Republican chicanery. Got two today. Guess when you have nothing else to run on you have to lean into culture war bullshit.

The URL is for the Transgender Education Network of Texas, which seems to be a legitimate organization.

That anyone can copy and paste into a text message to send out via a massive spam text to 1000s of numbers. And the listed number blocks incoming calls. And you don’t think this is weird that these start up right before midterms?
