Can confirm that pediatricians in Texas are scrambling. In the absence of any serious federal or state health guidance, they’re relying on group texts and private social channels to coordinate.

There was the Texas Music Educators Association annual conference wrapping up at the Convention Center that day. All the TMEA All-State Band/Choir/Orchestra students had their performances that day, so there would have been tons of families on the Riverwalk from all over the state….
Measles is extremely contagious and can be especially dangerous for children.
Many CVS, Walgreens, and H-E-B pharmacies offer safe and effective measles vaccines. To learn more about the MMR vaccine, visit Vaccines.gov
My staff and I are closely tracking the potential measles exposure in San Antonio that originated with a visitor from West Texas.
If you visited any of the locations listed below, please watch out for symptoms (including fever or unexplained rash) and contact a doctor right away if they occur.

Thank you Congressman. Continue to speak out. I’m one of your constituents and you need to be one of the loudest voices condemning this idiocracy, especially considering we’re “Military City USA,” and the home of the USAF Basic Training. The message being sent to trainees, is not good.

100%. Just like Lisa Franchetti. A distinguished career that mostly took place before "DEI" was a thing. This isn't undoing DEI. It's just straight up discrimination.

Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color.
General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them.
This is destabilizing for our nation.

Tough news for Spurs fans today. Victor Wembanyama is an incredible talent and a joy to watch. I hope he has time to rest and make a full recovery — the game isn’t the same without him. #GoSpursGo

🚨 Republicans are set to propose billions in Medicaid cuts next week. Here’s who would be hurt in TX:
❗36.2% of children
❗48% of new moms & babies
❗25.9% of adults w/disabilities
❗61% in nursing homes
❗15% of Medicare beneficiaries
I’m fighting to protect their care. #SaveMedicaid #TX32

Eleven-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza endured months of bullying about her family's immigration status at her Dallas-area school before she took her own life.
Although I’m sure Abbott will set up a few of his cronies to build private schools and scoop up billions in state $$ if the bill passes. Even that will take years.
Greg Abbot’s voucher program will accelerate the death of rural Texas towns.
More than 150 rural counties have absolutely zero private schools where parents can send their children. That’s not choice, that’s an illusion.

Many of Trump’s early actions are unpopular, Post-Ipsos poll finds: “57 percent say he has exceeded his authority since taking office…” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I’ve been impressed with SAISD’s response to all of this so far. They’ve been swiftly communicating to parents that they want all kids and families to feel safe.

He's doing a lot more than repeating talking points, he is aligned with Russia, and against Europe and Canada.
Americans need to see that this is where they're at.
