Sat down with @repnikema.bsky.social during her visit to Austin to talk about her important work on voting rights. As she said, “This is our civil rights moment.”
Voting rights are the cornerstone of our democracy, and we must ensure every eligible American can make their voice heard.

Increased trade—economic activity that respects human & labor rights, and the environment—can and should benefit both Americans and our trading partners. But trade agreements like AGOA must include guardrails to meet these principles. I spoke out against renewing AGOA without meaningful reforms.
Fearful that voters will hold him accountable in 2026, Trump is trying to rig the rules before ballots are even cast. From launching a redistricting war to attacks on mail in ballots and voting machines, Trump is continues to use authoritarian tactics to silence voters and undermine democracy.
My legislation – the No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act (H.R. 995) – closes the significant tax loopholes already being exploited to avoid paying a fair share of taxes on oil and gas profits booked abroad. Close the special interest advantages; don’t add to them as Trump suggested in Venezuela.
Important warning from Pope Leo as Trump and fellow authoritarians assault the rules-based order: “A diplomacy that promotes dialogue and seeks consensus among all parties is being replaced by a diplomacy based on force…peace is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one’s own dominion"
Trump could have released the Epstein files at any time without Congressional action. There are no excuses for his regime to continue hiding files long past the statutory deadline—shielding some from accountability and blocking transparency and truth for survivors.
When the richest few and large corporations are not required to pay their fair share, ordinary American are left shouldering a larger percentage of the tax burden.
Prior to Trump 2.0, the richest 1% escaped paying an estimated $163 billion per year in taxes owed. Now Trump policies have destroyed IRS capability to audit private equity. He is working to make it even easier for his Mar-A-Lago cronies to avoid paying tax.
“Trump is tough with the weak, but weak with the tough.” He cannot stand up to Russia and China whom he has now delighted by prioritizing 19th century imperialist “spheres of influence” in which each can do as they please.
Trump cannot put an end to tornadoes, floods, fires, & hurricanes, but is putting an end to effective federal emergency services – cutting 41% of on-call responders & 85% of staff who are often first on the ground when disaster strikes – leaving families waiting for help when they need it the most.
With reckless threats of military action against Greenland, Mexico, and now Iran, he is parading as a 19th century imperialist king. Each lawless action weakens our democracy and endangers our national security.
Last night on his social media declaring himself the acting president of Venezuela? Ignoring the affordability challenges faced by American families, Trump certainly is not acting like a President of the United States.
Trump slashed tax credits that helped American families afford health insurance. Now he wants to use taxpayer dollars to subsidize U.S. oil companies investing in Venezuela—an industry already swimming in special tax privileges.
What a loss, especially since the Trump regime often seeks to minimize public scrutiny by announcing some of its most outrageous work on Friday evenings.
Just watched the final episode of @pbsnews.org NewsHour weekend. John Yang and his team have done a tremendous job bringing objective journalism on Saturdays/ Sundays. This important reporting is being cancelled solely because Republicans cancelled PBS funding.
Exalton & Wilhelmina Delco have been a great team, overcoming barriers, to contribute in so many ways to our community, as their children continue to do. I honor his life, well lived by this distinguished educator and my friend.
The Great Dealmaker Donald Trump doesn’t seem to have achieved much more than a handshake and a wink with Big Pharma CEOs on his drug pricing “deals.” Meanwhile, Americans continue to struggle to afford necessary medications.
Fraud is wrong wherever it occurs. Yet while railing against MN Somalis, Trump is silent on Mississippi Republicans. With a trial starting this week on the alleged misuse of at least $77M in federal funding, perhaps Trump is just awaiting another opportunity to pardon apparent Republican wrongdoing.
While we need to take every reasonable step to expose the wrongdoing and support the protesters, Trump’s threats of military intervention likely undermine the protests.
The people of Iran deserve to finally be free of Khamenei’s brutal dictatorship. Their fearless protests across the country give them, and them alone, the right to determine their future.
