Texas has a history of #votersuppression against our community. These intimidation tactics have a disproportionate impact on Latinos & other communities of color. We asked U.S. Department of Justice to step in & take ALL actions necessary to protect our fundamental right to vote! #txlege

GOING VARSITY IN MARIACHI was one of my favorite watches at SXSW last year, where it gave audiences a different kind of Texas high school underdog story. I spoke with the directors last year about the doc, which is on Netflix as of this week. kens5.com/article/entert…

Donald Trump’s racist remarks about immigrants during today’s Moms for Liberty meeting: “Our country is being poisoned … they’re going into the classrooms and taking disease, and they don’t even speak English. It’s crazy.”

#TelAviv tonight: Tens of thousands 🇮🇱 calling for an immediate hostage/ceasefire deal in Gaza, the ousting of Netanyahu and new elections.

Referring to immigrants as “poisoning” the country is straight up Nazi rhetoric.

Israelis are fed up. After a night of protests, the country is going on strike, demanding a Gaza deal. trib.al/ovQTHDo

Trump's DOJ shut down the investigation into a potential $10 million cash bribe he pocketed and now Donald Trump won't even answer the most basic question: Did he or his campaign get any money from Egypt's dictator, Abdel Fatah El-Sisi? thehill.com/homenews/house…

"I think" is a *huge* leap from "I know" or "I can prove."

I am glad to see the release of 135 political prisoners from Nicaragua, including the 13 members of the Texas church Mountain Gateway imprisoned by the Ortega-Murillo regime. I thank President Bernardo Arévalo for providing them refuge in Guatemala.

That's roughly $1,841 per person. By comparison, a bus ticket to New York costs about $215, while a flight costs about $350. It would have WAY cheaper to just give migrants money for tickets. Abbott's effort not only made it a political stunt, it lined a contractor's pocket.

I'm glad Virginia and Secretary Denis McDonough will now continue to hold this year's Veterans Day ceremony at Fort Sam Houston. These observances are sacred and my office is honored to attend every year. As we move forward, I'll keep working to make sure ceremonies continue in years to come.

VA backs off move to end Veterans Day ceremonies at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. Five members of Congress condemned the decision almost as soon as they learned of it. One called Fort Sam a 'sacred' place. expressnews.com/news/article/t… via @expressnews
