Congressman Joaquin Castro
Congressman Joaquin Castro recently joined his brother in the Twitter dust-up with Dan Patrick, encouraging everyone to deny themselves access to an overwhelming variety of beef jerky, before quickly retracting. But back in 2011, he was just welcoming people.
Welcome to my Twitter page.

Today, State Senator Leticia Van de Putte took part in Throwback Thursday, which is a thing. But when she first joined Twitter she was with Texas Democratic Women. We’re assuming she still is.

Manu Ginobili
Today, Manu Ginobili is conducting a poll about Spurs’ uniforms. In 2009, his first tweet was in Spanish. Something about how he was at home and it was 36 degrees. And, like his teammate, he asked people to like him on Facebook.
