For those of us Texans wondering what this week’s weather will feel like:

Happy Sunday y’all.

Texas is an awesome state, and driving around it requires an awesome playlist.

Here’s mine. Thoughts? Suggestions?

They're celebrating gutting health care and FEMA and hurting American farmers,

Meanwhile- can your kid find a job? How are your health insurance premiums looking?

13 months to the midterms. Change will be coming.

Hey everyone, I’ll be at the McAllen Public library tonight after 5 PM for a meet and greet, see you there.

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere.

Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself.

There should be a rule- if one party controls the House, Senate, and President, and they allow the government to shut down, they’re all fired and we have snap elections to replace them.

Talking with filmmaker Jay Kleberg at a screening of "Chasing the Tide," about Galveston Bay. We have some big decisions to make about hurricane storm surge abatement that will affect millions of Texans for the rest of the century. Texas deserves a senator who understands these complex issues.

Texans are struggling to pay rent while this out of touch man is bragging about his gold office. John cornyn’s boss is disconnected from reality.

Our Defense Secretary is wildly unqualified.

The personal vendettas of the President are making us all less safe.

Throwback to my AsCan class photo at NASA. Can’t believe this was 25 years ago! The skills—like leadership, teamwork, and commitment to an mission—instilled through the rigorous and stressful training program and as an astronaut are ones I carry with me to this day.

I've said from the beginning, the Democrats need a debrief after the disastrous 2024 election. But it must be a TRUTHFUL debrief. A "Secret Battle to SHAPE the Autopsy Report" does NOT sound like this debrief will be an honest one. When will our party wake up?! www.thebulwark.com/p/secret-bat...

I'm not a politician, and I won't shy away from hard questions. The Democratic party has a 25% approval rating and changing this starts at the top. Let's go, chip in today. secure.actblue.com/donate/terry...

I’ve been clear. Schumer needs to go. He is not the fighter Texans and Americans need. It’s time for change. I am disappointed my fellow Democratic Senate candidates here in Texas don’t see that and are dodging questions about him when asked.

Hegseth axes panel that encourages women to enter military The advisory committee, which has existed for nearly a century, advances “a divisive feminist agenda,” a Pentagon spokesperson said.

I served in the U.S. Air Force for over 30 years alongside many brilliant women who made incredible contributions to our mission. For Hegseth, himself an unqualified DEI hire, to end this nearly century-old committee is both unsurprising and abhorrent.

YouTube video by This Week in Space Tell It to the Mountain - Astronaut and Senate Hopeful Terry Virts Says NASA Needs a Major Rethink

Great to be on This Week In Space! We talk NASA, Ukraine, threats to democracy, and more.

“The only thing evil needs to succeed is for good people to do nothing.”

So far in America, the media, the legal community, universities, and corporations have all caved to Trump’s bullying. I’m canceling my Disney+ and Paramount+ subscriptions along with the masses.

I agree with Michael Eisner, leadership is MIA. As a Senator, I would call for a thorough investigation of the merger deals of both CBS and ABC. I won't be watching ABC or CBS until they acknowledge their trampling of the first amendment and reverse course.

I'm the guy who can win this fight against Ken Paxton here in Texas. I'm just asking for you to join me.

I didn’t risk my life for 30 years defending our constitution to watch it go up in flames. The decision to fire Jimmy Kimmel after threats by Trump's FCC Chairman is a direct assault on the 1st Amendment. Unless we fight back, we will lose the democracy and rights we cherish.

Our politicians have forgotten what matters. Let’s remind them. Join me at link in bio.

There's never a time when meeting with voters that I don't learn something. That's why I believe it's the only way to govern and legislate — listening to, not preaching at, Texans.

I vow to bring that change to Washington as the next Senator from Texas. Chip in $35 today to help me do it.

Texas needs change.
The Democratic Party needs change.
The country needs change.

The only way to fight back against the chaos in Washington that continually hurts Texans, is winning our state-wide races.

We need candidates who meet people where they are on issues.

Please give Josh’s latest piece a read.

Had a great night meeting with the amazing people of the SDEC in Longview, Texas. Got to meet Bobby Cole, @vikkigoodwintx.bsky.social, @jaworskifortexas.bsky.social, @nathanfortexas.bsky.social among others and talk about how we bring change to the Democratic Party and more importantly, to Texas.
