Next week, billionaire donors and their puppet politicians will gather at a convention in Dallas to toast their own corruption. In the shadow of this Billionaire Ball, we’ll be collecting food to help Texans struggling with rising grocery prices. JOIN: bit.ly/GroceryDriveTX

A decade ago, Florida stripped a teacher of her license for sexually abusing a 16-year-old. Last year, she opened a private school there with ease. As private schools fueled by taxpayer dollars proliferate, states are choosing not to closely regulate who runs them or what they teach:

No surprise - but GOP Texas Railroad Commission nominee Bo French is spreading an anti-Semitic AI image of Democratic nominee Jon Rosenthal in his recent fundraising efforts. Sick, but par for the course for Bo French. More: tinyurl.com/yvz83x8r Vote AGAINST hate this fall, y'all.

The House just passed my amendment forcing the Pentagon to study the child care crisis. I represent San Antonio, aka Military City USA. Families here face long waitlists & thousands in costs to get care on base. The first step to solving this problem for our military families.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you have an elderly grandparent who needs care? So do I. Do you struggle to afford the high price of everything? So do I. Do you know what it means to carry the weight of medical debt? So do I. You’re on my team — and I’m on yours.

At the urging of Trump, Republicans are threatening a government shutdown to gut health care even more. They want: 😷 15 million losing coverage ❌ 20+ million losing low cost plans ⬆️ 75% higher premiums Democrats can’t let Trump rip health care away from working Americans.

Rep. James Talarico reminds us that Trump has a history of avoiding accountability: "He's wrecking the economy, he's starting wars, he's protecting pedophiles, he's kicking millions of people off their healthcare to fund tax cuts for billionaires."

13.7 million Americans will lose their health care under the Republican budget. This number comes from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. So when Republicans tell you that no one will lose their health coverage: They're lying.

President Trump at once appoints the nation's top financial regulators & profits from one of the world's fastest growing crytpo companies. It's one of the most explicit financial conflicts of interest in presidential history. A NYT investigation published today digs into this nyti.ms/44KUVn8

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

“…wealthy elites have relied on the allegiance of the white underclass to retain their affluence and political power. To understand this dynamic, to see through the eyes of poor and working-class whites… let’s look back at a few unsavory slices of America’s capitalist pie.
