Texas Congressman. Democrat. Born, raised and represent San Antonio.

Intelligence Committee (HPSCI) + Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC).
Gov. Abbott and Trump’s illegal redistricting plot backfired. It set off a national movement to level the playing field. And yesterday, the courts struck down their illegal maps.

But this should have never happened. Americans deserve fair and equal representation.

Today, the House passed legislation that takes us one step closer to releasing the Epstein files.

This is not about political gains. This is about the truth.

Republicans have been MIA for 6 weeks, refusing to extend healthcare subsidies. Now countless Texans won't be able to pay for skyrocketing premiums.

I’ll keep fighting because affordable healthcare is a worthy cause.

Republicans refuse to lower healthcare costs. Older Texans that are too young for Medicare will be hit the hardest.

Theresa Hebert is one of the more than 3 million Texans who rely on healthcare subsidies. Without ACA tax credits, her premium will cost $1,000/month.

I was honored to present U.S. Army Specialist Alfredo Gutierrez with the Purple Heart and six other distinguished military service medals for his heroic actions during the Vietnam War. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your sacrifice and service.

I am proud to celebrate COPS/Metro, which for 50 years has shaped life in San Antonio for the better.

COPS/Metro continues to bring together people of conscience to call out ICE for its brutality and lawlessness, stand up for our community, and protect due process and the rule of law.

Can Sec. Noem look at Goerge Retes, Lenardo Vanegas, and 170+ U.S. citizens in the eye and lie to their face?

We’ve read the reports, heard the stories, and seen the videos. Americans citizens, including children, are being illegally detained.

This is the racial profiling dragnet we warned about.

Governor Greg Abbott needs to use the state's $24 billion rainy day fund to make up for lost SNAP benefits. Or he's turning his back on 3.5 million Texans.

And Attorney General Ken Paxton needs to join the 25 other states suing the USDA for illegally withholding SNAP funding.

Trump's former State Department Legal Adviser even confirmed that gang activity isn't the basis for a new, unauthorized war—it's a law enforcement matter.

The Trump Admin is justifying its strikes in the Caribbean and off the coast of Mexico through a secret memo it won't share with the Congress or the American people because we know it’s a hastily slapped-together defense of blatantly illegal strikes.

Today I visited the food pantry at Inner City Development in San Antonio, which is doing incredible work.

But in Washington, Donald Trump is holding SNAP benefits hostage. He had the authority to keep 3.5 million Texans fed and chose not to.
