I’m running for re-election to fight back against the Trump and Abbott agenda that is robbing working class Texans of their voice and power. Right now, they’re undertaking a mid-decade redistricting scam to stack the deck in Trump’s favor. Help me fight back now:…
⚠️ Extremely concerning and eerie forecast trends for the Hill Country of Texas tonight The latest HRRR brings an MVC (exactly what led to the flooding last week) over the same areas that got devastated Pinpointing exact locations is impossible but impacts could be extreme
URGENT: House redistricting hearings start TOMORROW in Austin. The TX House is holding 3 hearings on congressional maps: 📍 Austin – bit.ly/TXRedistrictin… 📍 Houston – bit.ly/TXRedistrictin… 📍 Arlington – bit.ly/TXRedistrictin… Sign up to testify in person or via Zoom.…
Texas Republicans are bending the knee to Donald Trump once again. They’re holding a mid-decade redistricting session just to rig the maps in his favor. It’s cowardly, it’s corrupt, and it’s a slap in the face to democracy. I won’t let them get away with it. #txlege
Texas Republicans have radically gerrymandered this state over the past 30 years. Trump is so scared of the backlash from his extreme agenda, he’s now begging the Texas GOP to rob black and brown communities of representation. #txlege
The gaslighting happening now in the Texas Senate is something else: Republicans arguing they need to correct accusations of racial discrimination in congressional district maps that the same Republicans have argued contain no racial discrimination #TxLege
Texas’ special session isn’t about flood relief. It’s about @GregAbbott_TX gerrymandering Texas for his daddy Donald Trump. #txlege
Reminder: Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s special legislative session starts today. Abbott and Texas Republicans are using the session to redraw district lines and rig the midterms in the GOP's favor—all under the guise of flood relief.
***PRESS ADVISORY*** AUSTIN, TX — Senate Democrats will hold a press conference 15 minutes after the Senate adjourns today in the Lieutenant Governor’s Press Room. Senators will address the ongoing humanitarian crisis caused by the devastating July 4th floods, which killed 135…
The following is a statement from the Texas Senate Democratic Caucus regarding Governor Abbott’s (and President Trump’s) Special Session: 1) “Texas legislators are returning to Austin during a critical time when many communities are still recovering from the devastating July 4th…
The average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago, according to U.S. government data. The average price of all uncooked beef steaks rose 8% to $11.49 per pound. abcnews.link/jNi4V9P
🚨 BREAKING: ICE secretly deported Luis Leon, an 82-year-old torture survivor and U.S. legal resident of nearly 40 years, after he walked into an immigration office to replace a lost green card. Instead of processing the request, ICE handcuffed him, detained his wife for 10…
The Uvalde tragedy was enabled by reckless advertisers that allowed gun and game companies to market their products to young, violent people. Companies must not be allowed to put their profits over the lives of our children.
🌾 Texas farmers die by suicide at 3.5x the national rate. Long hours. Debt. Isolation. It’s a mental health crisis — and Senator Roland Gutierrez (@rolandfortexas) is fighting to change that. 🧠 He created the AgriStress Helpline in 2021, a 24/7 mental health lifeline that’s…
Get ready to pay even more for nearly everything you eat. Trump’s tomato tariffs will strain the budget of every kitchen in the country. apnews.com/article/mexico…
Don’t let Jeff Epstein distract you from the fact that Donald Trump is destroying America.
For three years, the state of Texas has refused to release body cam footage and more records related to the Uvalde massacre. This should have been done back in 2022, but Texas DPS refuses to acknowledge the abject failure of that day. It’s time to release the records. #txlege

Trump’s government is failing the American people. Americans are getting hurt because of his divisiveness, negligence and incompetence.
The Trump economy is hurting our farmers. They risk losing everything because of Trump’s reckless agenda. I secured $100 million in assistance for Texas farmers going through tough times, because we cannot turn our backs on the hard-working people that fuel our state. #txlege
The response to the Texas floods from Abbott, Trump, and Noem has been woefully pathetic. Hundreds are dead and missing. Families are grieving. And Republican leaders don’t give a single damn about the Texans they serve.
Heavy rainfall and flash flooding potential has increased for late tonight, especially over the Edwards Plateau and Hill Country. We are now looking at 2 to 4 inch rainfall totals with isolated amounts up to 9 inches. Most of the heaviest rains are expected after 3 AM CDT.
