Throughout American history, political cartoonists have challenged the status quo and held those in power accountable.
Pleased my friend, director Bill Banowsky, is showcasing his film "Savage Art" about the life & career of renowned cartoonist Pat Oliphant on 9/26 at Austin's State Theatre.

About 40% of Americans are expected to develop cancer in their lifetimes. Taxpayer investments in research result in cures and treatments that steadily lower the cancer death rate, easing painful side effects, and bringing hope & relief to millions of families.
Trump is cancelling these contracts.
Important report on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Their findings lead to the inescapable conclusion that the extremist Netanyahu government has gone far beyond its justified goal of defeating Hamas to pursuing a policy of ethnic cleansing. Ongoing U.S. complicity in these crimes must end.
🚨@merkley.senate.gov and I just released our report detailing how the Netanyahu government is engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The U.S. is complicit and the world must stop it.

At UT Austin, Senate Faculty meetings are a way for educators to have a seat at the decision-making table.
Now, state legislative interference threatens to undermine the quality of Longhorn education. We don’t need Republican politicians deciding what can and can't be taught, and who can teach it.
In a significant escalation, Putin sends drones into Polish airspace, in what its Prime Minister called “the closest we have been to open conflict since World War II.”
NATO allies forcefully condemn this provocation, but Trump displays weakness by failing to voice the slightest criticism of Putin.
New data show that taxpayers spend about $1 billion more each year to cover Texans with Medicare DisAdvantage plans offered by UnitedHealth Group and Humana.
Why? These companies make patients appear sicker than they really are to secure higher taxpayer payments.
I'm working to change this.
Trump‘s coffee tax means you pay more and more. 20.9% increase in the price of coffee over the last year.
A Fox News host from one of Donald Trump’s favorite shows is calling for the murder of homeless Americans. Violence is never the answer, and we as a society must not accept or normalize the use of such dangerous rhetoric.
Will the President or GOP lawmakers condemn this?
After promoting conspiracy theories about Democrats, most Republicans still insist on protecting Trump by refusing to even vote for full disclosure of the Epstein files. Ending the cycle of violence calls for every American to recognize that violence is never the answer. (3/3)
Trump and his minions, who refuse to even post a plaque honoring the law enforcement heroes who stopped the January 6 insurrection, regularly demonize their adversaries and embrace violence. This adds to the danger of more political violence as our democracy faces growing peril. (2/3)
Instead of lowering the temperature, Trump is spiking it. We should be united in rejecting violence, but this partisan, one-sided approach only adds fuel to the fire. (1/3)
Trump claims windmills cause cancer when all they really do is lower both electric costs and pollution.
Another attempt to replace science with ideology, Trump’s efforts to kill wind power will hurt our wallets and our planet.
Pleased to honor my longtime friend, Jeff Travillion, for his outstanding service to the residents of Travis County Precinct One.
With Trump’s jobs record already stumbling, mass ICE sweeps deepen the damage. They tear families apart, chill investment, and slow hiring. These sweeps do not make us safer.
Years ago, I penned an essay for San Marcos Daily Record about my experience at the US Capitol on 9/11.
The message still relevant: We must be both mindful of the horrors from the terror attack, while sustained by the memory of its heroes, especially first responders putting service ahead of self.
As gas and electricity prices rise, Trump and Republicans' Big Ugly Bill is set to gift a $700 - $800 million tax break to a SINGLE Texas oil company.
Meanwhile, the same bill denies 15 million Americans health coverage and strains families' ability to put food on the table.
None of us can forget where we were that day.
For me in Washington, seeing the smoke rise from the Pentagon and every street corner under armed guard, but an evening of resilience and unity as I joined colleagues to sing “God Bless America” on the steps of the Capitol. (2/2)
Today marks 24 years since the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil.
As we remember the lives lost, we honor the survivors, first responders, and families whose lives were forever changed. (1/2)
Violence is never the answer. We must settle our differences with ballots, not bullets.
Hope for recovery and swift prosecution of the shooter.
Let’s continue to speak out to stop the killing, help those suffering, and demand compliance with international law. (2/2)
