Austin's small business owners can't afford Republican health care cuts. Republicans must stop their shutdown and sit down in negotiations to correct the crisis they have created.
Here’s what another of our concerned neighbors told me:

Millions of Americans are receiving health insurance renewal notices with astronomical premium increases because Republicans refuse to negotiate with Democrats.
I want to hear from you about what this means for your family. Share your story here:
Whether in Chicago or the Caribbean, Trump is lawlessly misusing our military against civilians.
Our Constitution protects the right to a fair trial, not summary execution. It doesn’t permit interference in law enforcement in US cities or extrajudicial killings of civilians in international waters.
Major media outlets, even Fox News, rightly rejected Trump and Hegseth’s new Pentagon press restrictions that deny Americans the truth about how their taxpayer dollars are being spent on our national security.
We must defend a free and independent press against wannabe tyrants seeking to muzzle it.
A fellow Central Texan, Susan Bushart, hand-quilted & donated 50 quilts to members of Congress to reflect her hopes and concerns during the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency. I was honored to receive one expressing gratitude to the many organizations supporting Central Texas flood relief efforts.
Trump’s misuse of the military isn’t about securing public safety; it’s about securing more control in his drive for unrestrained one-man rule. He cuts law enforcement funds for DC and other independent cities, as he describes them as so crime-ridden as to require sending in the military.
Given the enormous health insurance premium spikes they are supporting, Republicans have turned once again to cover up their wrongdoing with more lies about immigrants.
I won't stop fighting to seek relief for the millions of Americans from whom Republicans have voted to take away care.
So many more hostages could have been saved had Netanyahu not made his priority devastation of Gaza and indiscriminate killing of Palestinians and had Trump engaged previously instead of promoting his ridiculous Gazan rivera plan. (2/2)
A time of joy to finally see 20 hostages reunited with their families and the attacks on Gaza halted. Trump deserves great credit for what happened today and great blame that it did not happen until now. (1/2)
Republicans shut down the government instead of working with Democrats to stop enormous spikes in health insurance premiums. This will put essential care out of reach for thousands of Austinites.
Many worried Central Texans are contacting me about how Republican health care cuts are impacting them.
How the Injustice Department prosecutes those whom Trump wants to persecute. More Trump regime abuse of power.
Democrats are working to stop enormous health insurance premium price hikes and save access to a physician for millions of Americans. Trump is firing disease scientists and public health workers, including the entire CDC office in Washington.
Who do you trust to protect your health care?
Air traffic controllers work under stressful conditions requiring them to be at the top of their game, but the GOP gov shutdown is forcing them to work w/out pay.
Spoke to Fox 7 about how this impacts Central Texans, as our airport has long been understaffed w/only 27 of the 60 controllers we need.
Trump’s gov shutdown is a continuation of his ongoing hatchet job. Firing thousands of workers since January and now over 4,000 more. This has never happened in a shutdown.
More of the same cruel agenda to cut livelihoods & essential programs that protect cybersecurity, public health, and more.
As we approach Open Enrollment season, Austinites are about to be hit with enormous health insurance premium spikes.
Why? Because Republicans let the government shut down instead of negotiating with Democrats to save ACA health care tax credits.
A world free of violence begins with a home free from violence.
Pleased to announce nearly $17 million for The National Domestic Violence Hotline based in Austin to help sustain operations that save lives, reduce crime, protect families, and strengthen our communities.
While the most difficult issues for a durable peace remain to be resolved, Israeli and Palestinian families can begin to at last feel some sense of relief if an immediate ceasefire, hostage deal, and surge in humanitarian aid to Gaza can take place over the next few days. (2/2)
Welcome news that Israel and Hamas have agreed on the first phase of a plan to end the devastating war in Gaza and finally bring the hostages home. (1/2)
Texas is a leader in solar & wind energy, yet Trump sells us out with giveaways to the fossil fuel industry.
Texans are left in the dark as our health is endangered by more air pollution. Meanwhile, Trump yields world leadership to China for clean energy technology—and its many economic benefits.
Diverting federal agents from fentanyl, child-exploitation & other criminal investigations to meet Stephen Miller’s mass-deportation quota targeting productive, law-abiding immigrants leaves families less secure.
Dangerous demagoguery, misallocation of law enforcement resources endangers America.
