During Gun Violence Awareness Month, Republicans worsen community safety by easing access to gun silencers that mask gunfire sounds and make it harder for law enforcement and the public to detect. We must reject GOP obstruction to ending this epidemic and continue fighting for

Antisemitism has no place in our country. Standing alongside a bipartisan group of House colleagues, we solemnly honor the two young Israeli embassy staffers murdered last month in Washington, DC.

UnitedHealth Medicare DisAdvantage plans are reportedly interfering with the delivery of emergency care for nursing home residents. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and I are demanding a thorough federal investigation and action from U.S. Department of Justice. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

Treasury Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: "There seems to be a misunderstanding among many people on your side of the aisle on what DOGE is. DOGE employees…" Lloyd Doggett (D-TX): "I understand you had some misunderstanding about it and Mr. Musk yourself."

DOGGETT: Are you sharing any information with DOGE for this omnibus information sharing agreement where they seem to probe into the privacy of every American? BESSENT: We are following all of the laws D: I would appreciate an answer to my question

Only given a short amount of time to cross-examine Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, you can hear my efforts to get to the bottom of what access he gave to Musk and DOGE of your personal, private data. While my questions were not answered, the exchange makes my point

The use of force against U.S. Senator Alex Padilla as he tried to demand accountability and transparency from a lawless administration is outrageous and an affront to democracy. We will not be intimidated or silenced by Trump and his gang of thugs as they try to march us further

Trump's administration has grabbed students off the street, arrested a state judge, indicted my House colleague for doing her oversight job, and now thrown a US Senator to the floor and handcuffed him for questioning lawless actions. We cannot permit our democracy to ebb away.

Trump’s weakness again on full display. Just as he is too weak to stand up to war criminal Putin on Ukraine, Trump is too weak to restrain Netanyahu from interfering in ongoing negotiations for a peaceful way to prevent Iran from going nuclear. George W. Bush restrained

The alarming, politically motivated assassinations in Minnesota will not prevent our coming together this afternoon at our State Capitol to show our opposition to Trump tyranny. I have personally talked with law enforcement, event organizers, and other participating elected

Next time you buy canned goods at the grocery store, expect to pay as much as 15% more thanks to Trump's tariff taxes. Just another example of how phony Trump's January promise was to bring prices down drastically. wsj.com/business/the-c…

Gathering at Foundation Communities, an excellent nonprofit serving thousands of Central Texans, I joined health experts to talk about enormous health premium price spikes coming in just a few months because Republicans have failed to extend tax credits helping Americans afford
