It turns out Tom Homan may be a much bigger criminal than the immigrants he’s targeting. He was caught on tape accepting a $50,000 bribe in exchange for securing government contracts. Now, Trump’s DOJ is dropping the investigation. This is total corruption. The DOJ and FBI must release the tapes.
EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The Republican funding bill does not include ACA tax credits that make healthcare affordable. Texans have the highest rate of uninsured folks. We need to extend tax credits to keep Texans covered. I’m pushing to make these healthcare tax credits permanent.
The U.S. needs to use its leverage to stop the slaughter in Gaza. I spoke in support of Rep. Jayapal's amendment to withhold funding for Israel when they fail to follow international humanitarian law.

I spoke against legislation that would give the Secretary of State the power to revoke passports from U.S. citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights. That’s not keeping us safe—that’s punishing dissent.
Americans of all background should have the same opportunity to pursue careers in diplomacy. Republicans would rather stop efforts to diversify our diplomatic workforce, jeopardizing American peace and prosperity. This double standard holds our nation back.
The Trump admin carried out a 2nd deadly strike against a Venezuelan boat, killing three people. They claimed those onboard were drug traffickers. Instead of providing evidence, they are asking the world to take their word for it.
U.S. diplomacy makes a difference in our daily lives—it prevents conflicts, saves lives through public health efforts, and protects U.S. jobs while creating opportunities abroad. 🧵Today, I join @houseforeign.bsky.social to advance State Department funding. Follow for updates.
Every year, I hold a Congressional App Challenge for students interested in STEM to put their skills to the test. If you’re a San Antonio high school student interested in coding, take on the challenge!
The conservative Supreme Court gave the green light for ICE to racially profile. I join Justice Sotomayer, Kagan, and Brown Jackson in saying “I dissent.” This brazen attack on the Latino community impacts every American and we must demand clear limits on law enforcement.
Hispanic Heritage Month begins today! This month is an opportunity to honor the significant contributions Latinos have made to San Antonio and our nation in the arts, science, business, and in every facet of American life.
Today, my staff gathered at the San Antonio 9/11 Memorial in solemn remembrance of 9/11, the 343 heroic firefighters who sacrificed their lives to save others, and our brave first responders who answered the call to serve. Our nation is forever grateful.
Today, we remember those who lost their lives in the deadliest terrorist attack in our nation’s history and honor the brave first responders who sacrificed their lives on September 11, 2001. We will never forget.
September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Congress created the #988Lifeline to help people in mental health crisis. If you or a loved one need help, call or text 988. You are not alone.
