I represent the world's largest medical center. H-1b visas ensure that we are at the forefront of innovation and care.

We shouldn't shut down the greatest talent — we should recruit them to join our team.

This political stunt will have a significant impact on the Texas economy.

Another American is dead at the hands of federal law enforcement.

Trump’s chaos-first, truth-last approach to government is putting lives at risk.

This isn’t just a failure of leadership. It’s a crisis of justice that demands consequences.

If you’re registered to vote in Texas, you are now under GOP surveillance.

The party of “small government” and “individual privacy” just willfully turned over sensitive records on 18.4 million Texans.

You don’t strengthen democracy by spying on voters.

Trump is deliberately fueling division and mistrust of our institutions with chaos, dysfunction, and dishonesty.

As your former chief human trafficking prosecutor, I often defend law enforcement.

This is indefensible. And it demands accountability.

The Supreme Court just failed this country.

Despite clear evidence of racial gerrymandering, they upheld maps designed to rig the next election and silence communities of color.

I will never stop fighting to restore fair representation in Texas. Our future depends on it.

Texas Democrats broke quorum because we knew that Trump was trying to silence voters with a racist and unconstitutional gerrymandering scheme.

A Trump-appointed Federal Judge agreed — and blocked the new maps from taking effect.

This is why we fight back.

BREAKING: Congress just voted to release the Epstein Files.

We know Trump’s name is in these files — but for months, he's called them a "Democrat hoax."

For too long, he's tried to control when victims get justice. RELEASE THE FILES!

BREAKING: A conservative panel of federal judges just struck down Trump’s racist, gerrymandered maps.

The ruling states, “substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

This is a huge win for our state, our country, and our democracy.

I've officially filed for re-election to represent House District 134.

People are tired of politicians bending the knee to Trump instead of making their lives better.

Now more than ever, I'm ready to keep fighting for everyday Texans. Let's get to work!

Today, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering service of our nation’s veterans.

Their commitment to protecting our freedoms is a debt we can never fully repay.

To all who have served and continue to serve — thank you. We are forever grateful.

Last night's election results sent a clear message:

Democrats are the ones standing between freedom and the ones trying to take it away — and voters agree.

There is no time like now to fight for the future of our state and our nation.

I'm at the East Wing of the White House — where I used to work.

This is supposed to be the people’s house, but Trump just destroyed the public entrance.

It’s not just a renovation. It’s a message: this country is his, and the rest of us don’t belong.

President Trump joked about domestic violence. It killed 205 Texans last year. In Texas alone, 205 people — including four children — were killed last year in intimate partner homicides.

This week, Trump suggested domestic violence isn’t a crime, calling it “a little fight.”

The president is insulting survivors who sacrificed everything to stand up and speak out.

Minimizing violence to boost your image isn’t leadership — it’s cowardice.

Texas Republicans are forcing a vote on their rigged election maps.

If they knew they could win the election — they wouldn’t be stealing 5 congressional seats.

This is a blatant, racist power grab.

Governor Abbott just said he’s got “bullets in his belt” that he’s ready to use against Texas Democrats.

As a prosecutor, I’ve had criminals threaten my life.

I never thought I’d see the day that the Governor of Texas threatens my life.

Governor Abbott, retract your statement.

We’ve broken quorum. The ball is in Governor Abbott’s court.

Who do you play for — the people of Texas or President Trump?

Breaking Quorum is an exceptional and extraordinary act of last resort. 

It is not a decision I take lightly. 

But Texas Democrats will stand up and protect democracy, even if it comes at a great cost.

BREAKING: The House just passed the Life of the Mother Act — a bill I helped lead to ensure Texas doctors can provide lifesaving care without fear of prosecution.

After Roe fell, women paid the price.

This is progress — and we’ll keep fighting.

The Texas Miracle doesn’t happen by accident.

Smart policy. Free markets. Economic mobility.

While GOP extremism tanks the national economy, I’m focused on keeping Texas open for business – and making sure that opportunity reaches everyone.

Texas taxpayer dollars shouldn’t fund out-of-state private schools.

I offered a simple amendment to ban tax dollars going out of state — and it was voted it down.

Texans deserve better than party politics getting in the way of common sense solutions.

When kids are getting sick from diseases we’ve already beaten, it’s not just bad policy –– it’s a moral failure.

Texas can’t afford to play politics with public health.

It’s time to put science, facts, and our children first.

I just asked the question everyone’s thinking: Does HB 44 enforce the 1925 abortion ban?

Texas Alliance for Life said it themselves –– this bill doesn’t change that law “one iota.”

HB 44 is a rare chance to give doctors the clarity they need to save women’s lives.

Pregnant Texans are in danger.

HB 44 is vital to let doctors provide care without fear — and protect mothers from unnecessary death.

We have an opportunity to make meaningful change today, but we won’t stop until these bans are repealed.

Too many young Texans are being jailed instead of given a chance to recover.

Our outdated laws keep youth struggling with addiction out of drug courts, cutting off their chance at recovery.

H.B. 1831 changes that –– giving more young Texans a second chance at a better future.

Summer Willis, a Texan and sexual assault survivor, ran 29 marathons to raise awareness and demand change.

I joined her final run — and her call for action.

That’s why I filed House Bill 324 –– to hold perpetrators accountable and strengthen support for survivors.

Justice delayed is justice denied — for victims and the accused.

The Texas Democratic Caucus's Safer & Stronger Texas plan will lock up the most violent, fund crime labs, and get Texans back to work.

Texans deserve a system built to deliver real justice.

While this legislation doesn’t fix everything – it takes important steps towards progress.

I’ll keep fighting to restore reproductive rights and protect doctors who provide essential care.

Let’s get it done, Texas.

The stakes are clear:

❌Maternal sepsis cases are up 50% since Texas’ abortion ban
❌1 in 5 OB-GYNs may leave Texas due to restrictive laws
❌100+ Texas OB-GYNs warn the ban is harming patients

For years, I’ve fought to ensure Texas doctors can act amid pregnancy complications.

I’m proud to joint author HB 44 – a bipartisan bill to ensure women get the care they need without delay.

No doctor should have to choose between the law and the life of the mother.
