Important op-ed by former UT Chancellor Admiral Bill McRaven, who rightly warns that firing diplomats and dismantling USAID jeopardizes our national security.
As the military leader who oversaw the Bin Laden raid, Admiral McRaven knows about keeping Americans safe.

If they’ve got nothing to hide, then Trump and AG Pam Bondi should immediately release the Epstein files.
House GOP gave a green light for Trump to brazenly use Presidential powers to enrich himself and his crypto businesses at the expense of ordinary investors and our democracy.
I expressed my concerns that these Trump-approved special rules could lead to another financial crisis and taxpayer bailout.
Public broadcasting is crucial to keeping folks across the country informed. Something the Trump regime doesn’t want, so they can spread more lies.
I strongly oppose GOP efforts to claw back these funds, which Congress previously approved in support of trusted sources like Austin PBS & KUT Austin.
Trump fears accountability, which losing his majority in Congress would bring, so he tapped Gov. Abbott to find him 5 new Republican seats in Texas by denying true representation for communities of color.
Trump is desperate to maintain his grip on power, even if it means silencing minority voices.
Today, we honor the legacy of my friend & former deskmate, Rep. John Lewis.
The fight for voting rights is essential, especially as Trump/Gov. Abbott ramp up redistricting efforts to silence true representation for minority communities in TX. Let's make #GoodTrouble & push for equity and justice.
Trump would rather waste $130,000 in taxpayer dollars to set fire to 500 tons of food than feed 1.5 million children.
Austin's air traffic control tower is operating with LESS THAN HALF the required number of certified air traffic controllers.
It's unacceptable, and I continue to push FAA to prioritize our airport for more hiring recruits and transfers to ensure our skies are safe during this busy summer season.
Trump and Rubio’s firing of over 1,300 State Dept employees weakens America & empowers China and Russia.
With the Human Rights Bureau hollowed, this Admin is greenlighting authoritarians. Diplomats who ably served our country & helped keep us safe from wars, terrorism, and conflict deserve better.
Instead of intimidating and silencing rightful critics like Austin surgeon Elisabeth Potter, UnitedHealth should focus on streamlining access to care for consumers and promptly paying providers.
I continue to press the DOJ to expand its investigation into wide-ranging claims of fraud and abuse.
Fighting crooked gerrymandering is not about protecting congressional seats, it is about protecting democracy. At Trump’s request, Republicans are trying to pick their voters instead of letting voters pick their leaders.

Firearms are the leading cause of death for kids, yet Texas Republicans and Gov. Abbott banned red-flag laws—measures that let Courts temporarily remove guns from those at risk of harming themselves or others.
Three years after Uvalde, the GOP still sides with NRA lobbyists over kids’ lives.
Great to see Romi, Jenny & Chelsea from the Alzheimer’s Association.
Important discussion on the urgent need to restore medical research funding that is bringing innovative early detection tests and treatments to give loved ones more time with their family members afflicted by this dreaded disease.
The Trump admin blocked over $3.5 million in already congressionally approved funds to Texas AmeriCorps partners. That means Texans aren't getting the support they need for healthcare, education, disaster relief, and more.
Together with Texas colleagues, I'm demanding answers.
One in five Texas children are going hungry, yet Republican Gov. Greg Abbott cruelly vetoed a bill to provide meals during the summer months.
An excellent op-ed from Lucy Coady on the harm this will cause.
Republicans' Big Ugly Bill is a real setback for our country, taking from working Americans to give to the richest few.
Spoke to @velshimsnbc.bsky.social about how Trump and Republicans are paying for billionaire tax breaks by raising costs on health insurance premiums, electric rates, and more.
With an authoritarian president at home and so many troubling conflicts abroad, this Commission offers me another forum for engaging with its mission of democracy promotion, international cooperation, and peaceful conflict resolution. (2/2)
Honored to represent our vibrant international city in a new way through my appointment to the U.S. Helsinki Commission, an international organization founded upon the defense of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
Together with Rep. McBath and other Democratic colleagues, we are demanding answers from the Office of Management and Budget over its delay of nearly $7 billion in K-12 funding.
Our underfunded public schools can't afford more staff cuts or delays in essential student services; they deserve better.
Their heartbreaking stories of how their lives were endangered at the very time they learned they would lose a baby are added reason to continue our struggle for the Women’s Health Protection Act to #RestoreRoe and improve access everywhere. (2/2)
