While Trump hosted a Great Gatsby party this weekend, 40 million families tried to figure out how they’ll put food on the table without SNAP.

The Texas Legislature convenes today—where Trump and Abbott are pushing a plan to rig our maps before the midterms.
If they succeed, Trump could steal 5 seats and keep the House.
Democrats are prepared to use EVERY tool available to stop them.

Days after one of the deadliest floods in Texas history—with 120+ still missing and a community in ruins—Abbott & Paxton are focused on doing Trump’s political bidding.
While TX recovers from another “once-in-a-generation disaster,” our state leaders count votes.

3 years ago today I was diagnosed with cancer, giving me a first-hand look at the costs of healthcare.
The budget bill currently being debated would put that care out of reach for millions—including those suffering from cancer and other serious diseases.
It must be stopped.

Last week, I traveled to Austin, Comal County, and Williamson County to hear from Texans directly about the biggest challenges Texas families face. It was great to see everyone and we are in this fight together.

San Antonio, now more than ever, we have to speak up and say, "There are no kings in the United States of America." We built a country of opportunity and this President is trying to take us backward. But we won’t let that happen.

(1/2) It was great to be in Eagle Pass this week and I was touched that County Judge Cantu made me an honorary resident. We discussed building an infrastructure of opportunity for all Texans despite the devastating Trump tariffs, rising grocery prices, ⤵️

It was great to be in Corpus Christi on Saturday to see folks and discuss the real impacts of the Trump agenda that is making life harder for Texans. We are going to keep fighting for our healthcare, our livelihoods & an infrastructure of opportunity for all Texas families.

🧵(1/3) The Republican budget bill is an attack on Texas families and hardworking folks across the country. Nearly 14 million people will lose access to their healthcare and millions will lose access to SNAP benefits — among many other critical programs.

🧵It was great to hear from folks in McAllen at yesterday’s town hall with @weareunidosus.bsky.social. Social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other critical benefits are so much more than just line items on a budget. Republicans are working hard to take away these benefits from folks.
