For years, exports of U.S. firearms has fueled violence across the world. I have pushed BISgov for years to reform how we sell firearms abroad.

I am glad to see them announce these new regulations.

We should not be exporting our gun violence epidemic.

Yesterday, my office took a tour of the Methodist Hospital Landmark, which opened last September to serve patients in Northwest San Antonio. Thank you to the nurses for their warm welcome and for the passion you put into your work!

Abbott's condemnation of UT protesters contrasts with his 2019 stance on campus free speech statesman.com/story/news/pol…

Gov Abbott and other Texas Republicans are taking a hard stance now on locking up those with antisemetic views.
In December, when Texas GOP Chair Rinaldi was asked whether the party would tolerate antisemitism, he said he didn't know what 'tolerate' means youtube.com/watch?v=YRwJQE…

As things intensify at UT Austin, UTSA students are also holding a pro-Palestine protest, which remains peaceful. No DPS, just a few bike cops keeping an eye on things.

Governor Abbott said the quiet part OUT LOUD.

They weren't rioters.
They weren't attackers.
They weren't terrorists.
... just PROTESTORS.

People he didn't agree with.
So, he used militarized police.
To crush people he didn't like.

NEW: UT Austin released 'protest rules' that say 'individuals may not come to campus without authorization,' which is in direct contradiction to a video they published 6 months ago that says members of the public can 'come to campus at any time and engage in demonstrations.'

Our campuses should be places where all students feel safe. Jewish students must be able to attend classes free from any sense of intimidation, and students who seek to protest peacefully must be allowed to do so consistent with campus policies and their First Amendment rights.…

According to Gov. Abbott’s own post, he is violating the First Amendment. A governor can’t lawfully arrest people for protesting or for “hate speech.” If he’s arresting them for other reasons, then he should say so. If he’s arresting them for their speech, then he’s violating the…

This aged well.

In Greg Abbott’s Texas, our first amendment rights are under attack. DPS is beating and arresting students and journalists at the University of Texas. This must stop.

I was honored to join SAMMinistries to announce $765,081 that my office got for their Transitional Living & Learning Center.

The TLLC is home to dozens of families, including many who became homeless after domestic violence. With safe housing, they can rebuild their lives.

Carlos is a photographer at Fox 7 in Austin and was here covering the protest for his station.

This is how Texas Department of Public Safety troopers dealt with a member of the local media in Austin today. The cameraman works for Fox 7 Austin.

This is how amped up troopers were, in a crowd of students.

Breaking: The MAGA Supreme Court majority appears ready to rule that the right to 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' doesn't extend to women with pregnancy complications or who otherwise need abortions.

This is horrifying, and it is because of Donald Trump.

I'm saddened to hear about the death of Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr.. We both came in together as freshmen in the 113th Congress and he was always a powerful voice for working families and the pursuit of justice for all. He will be terribly missed.
