Getting ready to hit the road and host town halls not only in my district - but in Republican districts as well. If they are too cowardly to meet their own constituents, we will meet them and answer their questions. Let’s go.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.
We should not be bending the knee to Elon Musk and Donald Trump by approving his budget package. This is not a progressive or centrist issue - it’s about who the hell is going to stand up and fight for our Democracy and against Trump.
Hey Senate Democrats! Do NOT cave into this horrific budget deal that only empowers Elon Musk and Donald Trump. People are counting on you to stand up for workers not the billionaire class. Who the hell are you fighting for? You still have time to reject this deal.
I'm deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Rep. Sylvester Turner. I'm thankful to have worked with him while we were both mayors. He was a great mayor, national leader, and a kind public servant who loved Houston and our country. He will be greatly missed.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.
It’s important for all Americans - including those that watch Fox News - to understand how shameful and dangerous Trump’s actions were in the Oval Office against our ally Ukraine.
