We’re fighting for a better, fairer, and brighter future for every American.
New reporting reveals the conditions at 'Alligator Alcatraz': "His hands and feet were then painfully shackled, and he was put in a four-by-four-foot square in the recreation yard that he says guards call "the box.” He says he was directly in the Everglades sun and heat, for…
We won’t let Republicans get away with hiding the Epstein files.
DON'T LET THEM OFF THE HOOK. THE EPSTEIN FILES MUST BE RELEASED.
Republicans have tried to take down the ACA for years. In their latest budget bill, they COULD have shored up tax credits to help working families afford health insurance. But they didn’t. Instead, they slashed Medicaid and gave a massive tax giveaway to billionaires. More >>
We were called back to the Capitol after 130+ Texans died in deadly floods. That alone is an extraordinary circumstance. We're here to work—for families who lost everything. That should be the only focus. #txlege
Texans deserve state leaders who put flood victims before federal favor. #txlege
Texans don’t need more political theater—we need real solutions. Flood recovery must come first. Families can’t wait. Let’s put people over politics. #txlege #PeopleFirst #FloodReliefNow #HereAndFightingForYou
“We shouldn’t be talking about anything else, other than addressing the flood victims and what can we do as a state … to make sure that disaster relief and emergency planning departments have the funds that they need on the ground to act,” Rep. Gámez said. #txlege
Flooding, redistricting and more as special session starts in Austin valleycentral.com/news/local-new…
Notice anything missing? I do: Abbott's assignment from Trump to carve up Texas and secure the GOP majority in Congress so they can pass more funding cuts like those which will deprive 200K+ Texans of their healthcare. Exploiting tragedy is not leadership. #txlege
Special session started today. On the agenda: - improve flood preparedness & recovery - end the STAAR test - cut property taxes We delivered historic laws during the regular session. But there is more work to do. That begins today.
This special session is about one thing and one thing only — racial gerrymandering. Trump has ordered Texas Republicans to illegally redraw the voting maps in his favor and they are wasting no time in taking away your vote and your voice. Texas Democrats must meet this moment.
Statement from Rep. Jon Rosenthal on being named Vice Chair of the House Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting: #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.
🚨 The stakes couldn’t be higher. Donald Trump and Greg Abbott are trying to steal congressional seats behind closed doors—and they’re counting on Texans to stay quiet. We’re not going to let that happen. This special session is about silencing voters, especially in…
The Texas maps are being drawn without us — unless we show up. They’re not counting on you to be there. Prove them wrong. These lines will decide who gets heard, and who doesn’t. 🗓️ Redistricting hearing – July 28, 5PM 📍UTA, Bluebonnet Ballroom capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/sc…
On day one of the special session, Texas’s Republican leadership made it clear that their number one priority is to protect politicians over people. The president is weaponizing your state legislature to serve himself, not Texans. #txlege
Republicans think everybody will forget about the Epstein files if they hightail it out of DC. Not happening. They promised transparency. What are they covering up?
House Republicans have shut down floor votes and will likely adjourn for 6 weeks to avoid voting for the release of the Epstein files.

Gov. @AndyBeshearKY doesn’t just talk the talk, he walks the walk and delivers every single day for Kentuckians. The proof is in his record ⬇️ vogue.com/article/andy-b…
Trump’s populism is a house of cards. It has been sturdier than expected. Refusing to release the Epstein files might be the tug that topples it all.
House Republicans are literally running home scared this week because of the Trump-Epstein Scandal.
Two GOP members of the House Rules Committee told us no rule will be produced for bills this week, all because the GOP can't figure out a path forward on Epstein
