Gov. Abbott and the Texas GOP failed to take preventive action before the floods that could have saved lives. They failed to prioritize flooding in the Special Session, and now are wrongly using flood victims as political hostages to urge Democrats to return for approval of Trump's crooked maps.

Flaco Jimenez was a force of nature. A talented voice who brought good times to so many hard-working people—not just in San Antonio but throughout the world.
It was a privilege to join him for Fiesta celebrations in the Alamo City; memories and sounds I will always hold fondly.
Trump’s cuts to both FEMA and the National Weather Service have already harmed Texans.
Now, he seems determined to use FEMA aid for devastated flood victims as a cudgel against his perceived enemies rather than as the helping hand it should be.
Rep. Casar and I are united in fighting Trump’s scheme to extend his control of Congress through gerrymandering Texas and other GOP-dominated states.
We salute our State House Democrats, who are not yielding to Abbott/Paxton intimidation on behalf of Trump.
On Friday, the Supreme Court announced that a Louisiana redistricting case must be reargued, indicating the desire of some Justices to eviscerate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by eliminating any consideration of race.
Such an adverse ruling could impact communities across the country.
Spoke to PoliticsNation on Saturday on why Trump's redistricting scheme to rig the system is even bigger than Texas.
I salute the Texas House Democrats who are defending democracy against this outrageous assault—Trump’s attempt to steal next year’s elections by rigging the system this year.
Trump already blocked billions in education funding. Now, he wants to slash MORE from our underfunded public schools.
More cuts mean fewer teachers, crowded classrooms, and less support for students. Just like clawing back NPR and PBS funds, Republicans want less education and more misinformation.
Texans didn't ask for new congressional maps, Trump did.
I spoke to @fox7austin.bsky.social earlier this week about how extreme gerrymandering hurts every community, and why Texas Republicans have decided to choose the president's interest over the families they represent.
Expect a flood of misleading GOP propaganda about flood issues, upon which the GOP should have acted long ago.
Let’s encourage their defiance! (2/2)
Trump is trying to steal next year’s Congressional election by rigging it this year.
His extraordinary scheme to undermine our democracy demands an extraordinary response, like that of our Texas state legislators have underway. (1/2)
Texas GOP is caving to Trump's redistricting scheme; these crooked lines will hurt Central Texas.
Congressional offices help everyone, from veterans to seniors, get benefits they earned. If Trump's maps aren't stopped, many Austinites will find doors shut when they need help from a Congressmember.
In another gift to the fossil fuel polluters, Trump's EPA moves to weaken its own legal authority to combat the worsening climate crisis.
Deregulated greenhouse gas emissions undermines public health and can lead to dangerous respiratory problems.
The Texas House Redistricting Republicans voted to rubber stamp Trump’s crooked congressional map.
Here’s some of what I told MSNBC’s The Weekend early this morning about the national implications of this power grab to which we must respond forcefully across America.
Painful, horrifying stories from women eager to have a baby, yet faced with near death experiences because of Republican interference with the ability of physicians to offer the best and safest care. (3/3)
I organized the first Congressional Reproductive Rights Field Hearing in Austin, partnering with Sen. Eckhardt, Rep. Howard, and Mayor Pro Tem Fuentes. (2/3)
As the State House Redistricting Committee was approving Trump’s map to add 5 anti-choice Texas GOP Congressmembers, I was listening to the harm suffered by so many Texas women endangered by overly restrictive laws. (1/3)
Testifying against the crooked Trump congressional map, I highlighted how this gerrymandered map uses race to deny voters their member of choice and denies communities across the state the access and accountability they deserve.
Thirty-one people were killed in the deadliest attack on Kyiv in a year, and Trump still can’t find the ability to criticize Putin. He’s too weak to stand up to a war criminal, and his “help” is too little, too late. How many civilian deaths will it take to move him? More, many more apparently.

Trump directs his GOP-led Congress to eliminate legal services helping veterans apply for disability, domestic violence survivors gain child custody, and more.
Republicans want to make it harder for struggling Texans to access justice and overcome hardships.
