Donald Trump has led the charge to defund PBS, and just weeks ago, he attacked ABC and NBC. He has notably left other networks like Fox News, OANN, and Newsmax completely unscathed – likely because they are owned by his allies and have eagerly done his bidding.

Carr, who wrote the FCC chapter for Project 2025, is using his position to silence speech he disagrees with and degrade the first amendment, which guarantees and protects free speech.
The reason Jimmy Kimmel was indefinitely removed by ABC is because of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s threat to the network to "do this the easy way or the hard way."
The unprecedented use of the power of the federal government to silence anyone President Donald Trump disagrees with or dislikes should alarm every American.
For decades, El Pasoans have had to travel for cancer care, but the Fox Cancer Center at TTUHSC El Paso will make treatment available right here at home.
I wish I could have joined the groundbreaking ceremony, but I'm sending all my support from DC.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is enriching private prison corporations at YOUR expense.
This is what $1.24 billion of YOUR taxpayer dollars are funding in El Paso 👇🏽

As a member of Congress, I have a responsibility to name and speak against what is happening: this is genocide.

Farmers need labor.
“[Migrants] want the American dream, and they want to work.”
My bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill, the Dignity Act, grants legal protections and work authorization to migrants so we can keep our economy competitive.

Trump and Republicans are hoping that by renaming the "One Big Beautiful Bill," you'll ignore that this legislation means 99% of Americans will make LESS after-tax money.
They're taking your money, giving it to the 1%, and praying you won't notice.

Did you know that Congresswoman Escobar's birthday falls on 915 day?
Join us on Team Escobar in wishing her a very happy birthday!!
🚨 Update from the ongoing Appropriations Committee debate we’re having about funding for labor, health, and education
If we want to have a healthy, growing economy long-term, we need an educated workforce.
If we want our country to remain competitive for generations to come, we need to invest in our public education system.
Republicans are refusing to give educators across the country the financial support they need, especially when it comes to Title I funding that provides money to some of the poorest districts in America.
In El Paso, we could lose up to a thousand teachers without Title I funding.
I don’t understand why we can’t come together and fund education in our country.
Instead, Republicans are dismantling the very system meant to prepare our children for the future.
History will not remember this decision as a defense of liberty. It will be viewed as the grave failure of the highest court in the land that it is.
As Justice Sotomayor said: “We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”
This decision sends the full-throated message that Americans can be treated as suspects not because of their actions, but because of the color of their skin or the language they speak.
The court has effectively legitimized discrimination under the guise of law and order, given government-sanctioned racism a green light, and, again, abandoned its duty to protect the rights of all people.
