It was an honor to sit down in Houston with Lonnie Ali, a dedicated philanthropist and the widow of the late Muhammad Ali.
Muhammad Ali left his mark on our city, from his historic fights at the Astrodome to his stand against the Vietnam War.

Saddened to hear of the passing of former State Representative Garnet Coleman. He was an institution in both Houston and at the Capitol in Austin.

Fox News asked me about those $5,000 checks Trump has promised, so I gave them the truth: You’re not getting them.
Trump can keep making promises he can’t deliver. I’m going to keep telling folks the truth.

Just months after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by an ICE agent right here in Houston, we’re hearing reports of another ICE shooting in Austin. That’s unacceptable.
ICE has shown us time and again that we cannot simply take their word for what happened. They have no credibility.

Trump is in the White House while his family is cashing in, and Americans are getting crushed by the cost of groceries, gas, & rent. I serve on the @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social Committee. My job is to follow the money, expose the corruption, and hold them accountable. And I’ll continue to do so.

Republicans canceled votes AGAIN. For everyone else in this country, when you have a job to do, you’re expected to show up and get it done. Congress should be no different. The American people sent us here to work. Republicans keep canceling votes instead. It’s pathetic.

President Obama wore a tan suit, and Republicans acted like the sky was falling. Now, Trump and his family are making billions from shady business deals while he sits in the White House, and Republicans in Congress suddenly have nothing to say.

25 years ago today, our nation was changed forever. Today, we remember the 2,977 lives taken on September 11, 2001, and we honor the firefighters, police officers, first responders, and everyday Americans who ran toward danger to help others.

Trump doesn’t get to make up his own election laws. I joined more than 250 current & former members of Congress in a brief to the Supreme Court making clear that Trump’s mail-voting order is unconstitutional.

There’s no better way to spend Labor Day weekend than with the folks who keep TX-18 moving.
From my grandfather, a longshoreman, to my sister, a public school teacher, unions are central to my family’s story and the backbone of our economy.

Republicans want to rewrite the Constitution to protect a Supreme Court drowning in corruption and ethics scandals. The same Court that gutted voting rights and ripped away abortion rights.

The destruction in Nepal is heartbreaking. Thousands of people remain missing, while the death toll continues to rise.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Nepalese community, the families searching for loved ones, and all those who have lost family and entire villages from the devastating flood.

How desperate can you be? Trump is jeopardizing millions of Americans’ right to vote by mail. This whistleblower report from a federal USPS official is disturbing. An untested tracking system should not be putting Americans’ right to vote at risk.
The whistleblower says the U.S. Postal Service has ignored court orders and is moving forward with a plan that could completely “derail” the midterm elections. trib.al/pLUXQyU
