🧵My statement with @repcasar.bsky.social on Governor Greg Abbott deploying the National Guard to San Antonio:
General Richard E. Cavazos was a military hero — the first Hispanic four-star general who represents the best of Texas. President Trump should do the right thing and continue to honor General Cavazos’ extraordinary service to our country and keep the base named after him.
These ongoing arrests are an ugly bait and switch that punish folks for following the rules. This is discouraging other people from following the law and showing up for their court hearings. It’s so wrong and we need to hold the authorities accountable.

This action is escalatory and authoritarian. The Trump administration continues to take any opportunity to sow chaos, diminish the rule of law, and undermine our constitutional rights.

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX.
He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants

Today we honor the courage of those who fought in Normandy 81 years ago. On D-Day, thousands stormed the beaches of Normandy and fought for our freedom and the freedom of our allies. Today we honor their legacy and sacrifice.
I look forward to seeing the STEM talent our students have to offer! Register at bit.ly/registerforcac.
San Antonio! The 2025 Congressional App Challenge has launched!
Middle and high school students are invited to submit original apps for a chance to win the annual challenge. The first-place winner will be flown out to D.C. for a special reception.
It’s backdoor legislating by cowards. And it will hurt Texans.
Now Trump’s DOJ steps in and goes against what the legislature did, and Abbott and Paxton are refusing to defend the law enacted in 2001 and signed by Rick Perry.
This is a choreographed surrender. Legislation to gut the in-state tuition program just got shut down in the Texas legislature.

This CBO score shows how grim the impacts of the Republican budget bill will be: $2.4 trillion will be added to the debt, 16 million Americans will lose access to healthcare, and costs for hardworking families will only continue to skyrocket.
Texans have made it clear where they stand on this. AG Paxton must fully defend the laws of our state. This is a disappointing action from an administration that doesn't care about anyone but billionaires.
Legislation to strip in-state tuition in Texas also just died during the legislative session.
This lawsuit is meritless, cruel, and vindictive. Republicans in Texas created this program in 2001 to establish parity so all tax-paying folks, regardless of status, can receive the benefits they are owed.

This is a new level of evil — a Wisconsin man allegedly sent handwritten threats against Donald Trump in an attempt to get another man deported.
Today, I urged Secretary Hegseth to establish Joint Base San Antonio as the headquarters for the proposed consolidated Western Hemisphere command. Our city is essential to our national security.
For decades, San Antonio has cultivated a unique partnership with the Department of Defense to support the military's success.
Happy Pride month y’all! As a nation, we’ve made big strides to protect LGBTQIA+ folks. Let’s not turn back the clock now. This month is about celebrating you—and uplifting your stories and experiences. I stand with you! 🏳️🌈
