After 96 years of battling injustice and organizing for a better future for workers, immigrants, and women, my friend and a personal hero, Dolores Huerta, has sadly passed away. Her courage and commitment live on as we chant her battle cry “¡Si se puede!”

The “Unites States” can really rely on safety from Trump’s voluntary “super intelligence” agreement promising error-free AI company self-regulation.

Pleased to secure $2 million in federal funding for the Belfast Bridge and Trail. Now the City needs to move forward with urgency to turn these federal dollars into this long-awaited connection between Windsor Park and Mueller. Thanks to “Window on Windsor” for sharing the good news.

[1/2] An ICE agent shot a man here in Austin. While we do not yet have all of the facts, we do have the facts about ICE.
ICE is eager to fulfill Trump’s deportation quota by rounding up any immigrant that it can find, including those who are making a real contribution to our community.

Trump threatens to cut off trade with 99 countries from whom we buy more goods than we sell. Such a cut off would only intensify pain for Americans and worsen our economy.

Desperately trying to reverse his economic failures that have harmed so many families, Trump is trying to force his own Federal Reserve appointee to cut interest rates when Trumpflation may force the Fed to increase rates.

As co-chair of the Friends of Wales Caucus, I was pleased to welcome Heledd Fychan, Minister for Culture to Washington for a special Welsh symphonic performance—a gift in honor of America’s 250th birthday. Thanks to @WalesinNA for our enduring friendship.

Yet another outrageous narrow-minded Greg Abbott proposal to weaken our public schools—banning foreign teachers. As Marble Falls exemplifies in this short video interview, these teachers fill vital roles. The real threat to Texas public school students is not foreign; it’s Greg Abbott.

In today’s Ways and Means Trade hearing, I’m questioning the Trump Administration’s secret deals for critical minerals—and the corruption and environmental devastation enabled around the world.

Trump is building and building and building—not a better future for our families nor an affordable future, but building endless tributes to himself. See some of what he had to show off to ABC.

I like my new shirt, reminding me of our Bike Bash, the kids biking to school daily, and how wonderful Nan Clayton Elementary is. Thank you, Charley & Courtney.

[2/2] Students got to test the route they’ll take to school, building confidence and community along the way. Fun morning joining these young cyclists—and seeing firsthand how safer streets can help our kids get where they need to go. My longtime friend Nan would be so proud of this great school.

[1/2] Great to join the Nan Clayton Principal Karen McCollum, event organizer Amy Chidester, my former staffer Courtney Toretto and her 2d grader, Charley for the Bike Bus Bash! Saluting PTA President Ashley Aarons for pedaling the Cardinal mascot and her leadership for public education.

On Ukraine's 35th Independence Day, Ukrainians are still fighting to defend their homeland from Putin's criminal invasion. Their courage will outlast his tyranny.
I will continue working to overcome Trump's refusal to provide Ukraine needed support. Slava Ukraini!

The Trump regime continues working to protect their well-connected cronies—now hiding important consumer complaints concerning abuses by banks, loan servicers, and other financial services. Powerful special interests are shielded while consumers are left hung out to dry.

Trump’s endless war is draining taxpayer dollars, our weapons stockpile, and the ability to keep Americans safe.
The results so far? Higher prices on just about everything, lives lost, and an even more hardline Iranian regime intact with unprecedented control of the Straits of Hormuz.

Just as he ignores the Constitution and Congressional authority to declare war—treating both as annoying traffic cones that can be trampled—Trump dismisses the consequences of his reckless, endless war in Iran and the impact of a 9-month Naval deployment on our servicemembers and military families.

As families struggle to make ends meet under Trump’s illegal tariff taxes and draconian cuts to SNAP food assistance, community organizations are stepping up in hopes that Americans don’t go hungry.
