Instead of stopping enormous price spikes in insurance premiums and preserving access to a doctor for millions of Americans, Republicans opted for the path of maximum cruelty and shut down the federal government.
I spoke about the many harms Republicans are inflicting on our families and economy.

While LGBTQ Texans are on the frontlines of fighting back against the erosion of rights and freedoms, let’s recognize that a threat to our LGBTQ community, is a threat to all. (3/3)
As a Vice Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus, I value our continued collaboration to uplift local businesses, advance workplace equality, and pushback against misinformation that leads to discrimination. (2/3)
Great to join the Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce, Board Chair Emilie Kopp, Deidre Walsh and many others who make our community a better place to call home.
We discussed many current challenges and how we overcome them. (1/3)
Trump’s off-again, on-again tariff taxes are causing real damage to our economy. The chaos and uncertainty prevent businesses from investing and harm relationships with our trusted international allies.
Our economy grew at a 2.4% rate in 2024; under Trump growth has thus far fallen to 1.6% in 2025.
Together with freedom-loving colleagues, I strongly reject Trump’s demand to over 800 military leaders that they should focus on “the enemy within.”
Those patriots, who have sacrificed so much to serve in uniform, must not be used as political pawns to wage war against Trump's political foes.
Republicans shut down the government because they refuse to stop enormous spikes in out-of-pocket health care costs for families.
As a result of the GOP's cruel health care agenda, studies estimate that 51,000 Americans could lose their lives each year after losing their health insurance coverage.
Those aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, including my constituent Greg Stoker, are saying the Israeli Navy has intercepted several of their boats on their way to deliver critical aid to Gaza.
Israeli authorities must ensure their safety as these humanitarians seek to help the sick and starving.
During this Republican shutdown, I continue working to stop insurance premium price spikes and save families' access to a doctor.
My office remains open to help Austinites. To assist with some frequent questions, you can visit my website:
For months, we have sought that protection from a totally untrustworthy President.
To resolve this Republican shutdown, we don’t seek the perfect but just a bipartisan negotiation to achieve a reasonable resolution of this critical matter. (2/2)
With complete federal government control, Republicans control this government shutdown.
I do not believe we should yield to Trump’s demands without getting some protection for all those about to have their health care access to a physician denied or seriously impaired. (1/2)
Trump's lecture to military leaders that US cities should be used as "training grounds" against the "enemy within" shows it was never about crime or immigration.
It's about normalizing the misuse of troops against Trump’s opponents to create a military personally loyal to him, not the Constitution.
A big victory for freedom in a small country. Congratulations to Moldovan President Maia Sandu, with whom I met earlier this year in Chisinau. She overcame tremendous Russian manipulation to keep her country tied to Europe and deny Putin another front for more war crimes against Ukraine.
With more storms on the way, the National Weather Service has still not recovered from Trump’s unjustified slashing of its workforce.
Our local Austin/San Antonio office remains a quarter vacant. Meanwhile, the Trump Admin refuses to give a full accounting of how NWS handled the July floods.
While Trump's dispatching of our military against American citizens seems unprecedented, the President is creating precedents in an attempt to normalize his misuse of the military to suppress any opposition.
Big Pharma is the big winner, and American consumers are the big losers under Trump’s new 100% tariff tax on imported medicine.
The only answer Trump offers to prescription price gouging is to make prices even higher.
Sending troops for imaginary threats where they are not needed, while ignoring genuine threats where support for our allies could help to protect both them and our families.
“Artificial intelligence is profoundly limiting some young Americans’ employment prospects, new research shows.”
This is the type of challenge that deserves our attention rather than so much of the nonsensical, ever-changing Trump agenda.
While parents anxiously awaited news of their beloved children and put their hopes in search-and-rescue missions in the aftermath of the July 4 Central Texas floods, the head of FEMA was on vacation and unresponsive.
FEMA failed to undertake timely rescue operations that might have saved lives.
Trump’s failed trade war means higher prices for American families, including new 30% to 50% tariff taxes on imported furniture. This self-inflicted pain by Republicans is 100% preventable. I have legislation that would require Congress to approve any new Trump tariff tax before it goes into effect.
