Former NASA Astronaut and USAF F-16 Pilot running for U.S. Senate from the great state of Texas because Texans deserve better. It's time for change.
If Democrats want to win back the Senate, we must win in Texas. That's not optional. That's math.
Texans are tired of weak politicians and partisan games. They want someone who will step up, speak truth, and solve problems.
And I'm the candidate who can get it done.
Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters by drawing rigged district maps. This distorts democracy, protects corrupt leaders, and weakens your vote. Learn how it works and how we can fight back together.

MAGA Republicans love to preach about faith and morals, yet their policies and actions expose a shocking hypocrisy. Here’s how they use religion as a shield while betraying the very values they claim to defend.

This new Texas map is wrong. And Dems need to fight back and use all the tools at our disposal to do it.

Seeing the northern lights from space changes everything. From orbit, politics look tiny. This is what happens when Earth’s noise fades away — and real perspective takes over.

Trump’s trade war was sold as a battle for America’s future — but behind the slogans came higher prices, broken promises, and global fallout. Families paid more, farmers went bankrupt, and rivals cashed in. The truth behind the tariffs is a warning we can’t ignore.

Donald Trump and Stephen Miller have built entire careers on one thing: fear. From demonizing immigrants to stoking panic about “outsiders,” they know fear keeps people angry, divided, and easy to manipulate. It’s time to see through the scare tactics and call them out.

Here's how authoritarians rise to power:
1) They flood the public with lies & propaganda.
2) They distort reality until truth becomes meaningless.
3) They make it so overwhelming, people throw up their hands & stop paying attention.
This is exactly what Trump is doing right now.
When Trump brought Palantir deep inside the government, millions of Americans’ personal data became fair game. Palantir’s surveillance tools now reach into schools, cities, and entire federal agencies — all built on information you never agreed to share.

Trump’s years of constant lies and deflection has left America divided and distrustful. Decades of hard-won faith in government, media, and institutions are being torn apart by a presidency built on falsehoods and conspiracy. Can truth and trust ever be restored?

Thanks to the state of American's political system, China could absolutely beat American back to the moon. I don't want the world to say, "The 20th century was a great American century. The 21st century is the Chinese century."

Donald Trump has done it again — appointing Sean Duffy, a former MTV “Real World” reality TV star, to oversee the Department of Transportation and NASA. What could go wrong? youtu.be/33AH203_kCQ

56 years ago — two heroes of mine stepped foot on the moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin with Michael Collins piloting the module. We must remember the big things America can do.
Last photo is from Purdue where Armstrong is an alum. His lunar walk is cemented in front of the aero building!
This is WEAK.
If establishment DC Dems aren’t willing to ask the hard questions— to debrief after failures—they’re not fit to lead. We need new Democrats in Washington to fight the chaos & corruption. That’s why I’m running - I’m ready for the mission.

Donald Trump thinks he and Gregg Abbott can use the pen to maintain power by gerrymandering the Texas map. He forgets—people vote, not pens. And Texans are goi Nb to show him who really has the power.

Billionaire tax breaks.
Epstein cover ups.
Masked ICE lawlessness.
What have D.C. Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer been doing to fight back in the face of this all-out, chaotic assault on our democracy? Tweeting about Love Island, of course!
Talk about out of touch...
This administration has lied at every turn about Epstein.

Trump and his MAGA lackeys make others feel small. They make people think small and behave small.
Well, up in space, you realize how big the world actually is. How special it is. And how thinking big can connect us all.
That's the perspective I'll bring to Washington.
The president is not behaving like a mentally stable person. Forgetting he appointed the Fed Chairman, threatening to fire him, then walking it back hours later. No rational leader would be so foolish.
We need to reestablish checks and balances. No one has ever needed it more.
This is what Trump thinks about when it comes to Texas— holding on to political power.
Not the flooding tragedy or the measles outbreak. Here are my thoughts.
He's now saying the quiet part out loud:
"We don't need voters, we just need pens."
