It was a wonderful Friday night at the Houston Black American Democrats' holiday party! Joyful hearts warm a cold Houston evening. Thank you for having me!

All of the Democratic Harris County Commissioners have officially endorsed my re-election campaign! These endorsements represent strong community support from local leaders who deliver real results for our community. Join the fight at sylviaforcongress.com.

This bill would simply say, 'No more than 10 minutes,' and then if a train is there longer than 10 minutes, there should be a hefty fine.

HUGE: Democrats have the 218 signatures needed to force a vote to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Congress must take action to extend these lifesaving health care subsidies for 22 million Americans. Bring the vote to the floor, Speaker Johnson.

“I came to contribute to this country. Why take those possibilities away and force us to leave and put us through this trauma? It deprives you of sleep, takes away your peace, it takes away everything, your dignity as a person.” My heart breaks for these families.

I was proud to serve as an impeachment manager during Trump’s first term – securing an impeachment in the House and defending our democracy. Today, I’m keeping that fight up – taking on Trump and working to lower costs for working Texans. sylviaforcongress.com

Happy Hanukkah, Houston! Wishing you love, peace and happiness this holiday.

Due to the Trump-Abbott dismantling of our congressional districts, I am running for re-election in some new neighborhoods. I am undeterred and will fight for Houstonians as I always have. I will keep taking on Trump, defending our democracy, and lowering costs for families. sylviaforcongress.com

We now live in a country where people are terrified to go to church. This is heartbreaking. “They’ve taken the father, the husband, the provider for the family. And after that, the family is in crisis mode and they’re obviously scared to leave the house." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Nearly half of Americans find groceries, utility bills, healthcare, housing and transportation difficult to afford. 27 percent said they have skipped a medical check-up because of costs, and 23 percent said they have skipped a prescription dose. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

The felon in the White House speaks only one language: racism.

Congratulations to @unitehere.org Local 23 workers who fought for higher wages! Their contract was ratified last week and they will be paid a fairer wage for their hard work at IAH. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/art...

It's been a year now since President Donald Trump said he wanted to protect young, undocumented immigrants from deportation. But nothing has happened. ​I’m willing to work with him. The bill is there. All he has to do is have his legislative policy team send out a letter that they endorse the bill.

Proud to cast my vote for @salinasforhtx.bsky.social last weekend! Early voting continues through Tuesday and Election Day is next Saturday, Dec. 13. Find voting information at harrisvotes.com.

WATCH: Sarah Owings, the attorney representing 54 Korean workers from the raided Hyundai plant, describes the horrible conditions some of her clients are enduring in ICE custody.

Republican justices are allowing the racially gerrymandered map to be used in 2026. I am angry that Black and Latino voters have been used as political pawns in Trump's attempt to rig our elections, but I will fight for the residents of the new 29th district as I always have.

When do you think was the last time any of these people shopped for their own groceries? Anyone seen Ted at HEB lately?

Houston is the only major city to have a dashboard evaluating firearm-related injuries. This is a step in the right direction to increasing gun safety awareness in our communities. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

Any Lucia was deported for daring to visit her family on Thanksgiving. Bring her home.

Donald Trump's racist speech about America's Somali community today was repulsive. As a Representative from the most diverse city in America, I am proud of every pocket of culture that makes Houston a fascinating place to call home. Call Trump what he is: a racist felon unfit to lead our country.

👏 👏 👏

We hear a lot of dumb things from this administration, but this one is really something. Regardless, if this man could make money off of hurricanes, he'd host them in the White House.

A great question! "While we’re busy separating families, sending criminals to dodgy third country detention and possibly killing avid fishermen in the name of ridding America of dangerous narcotics and their purveyors, Trump just let one of the worst offenders walk free."

We will continue to remember and honor the lives we have lost to AIDS, no matter how much the current administration would like us to forget. Join other Houstonians this evening for a World AIDS Day observance. www.outsmartmagazine.com/event/world-...

A college student pursuing her American dream was detained trying to come home to Texas for Thanksgiving. She was deported to Honduras. Bring Lucia Lopez Belloza back home. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/25/metro/babson-college-freshman-deported/

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving today! I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather, good food and time with family and friends, either today or this weekend.

With 2 out of 5 households in Houston and Harris County being food insecure, and our federal and state leaders that look the other way, I am thankful for organizations like Northwest Assistance Ministries, who are making sure Houstonians are fed. abc13.com/post/2-5-hou...

Last night's annual Johnson-Jordan Dinner, hosted by @texasdemocrats.bsky.social, was a joyful celebration of our party's power and courage, past and present. We are organized and ready for 2026!

Justice Alito, despite the lower court's opinion that "substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map," has blocked the ruling for now. The chaos inflicted by Republicans continues.

Americans have a right to travel around their own country without fear of being surveilled. This is egregious overreach. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-border-patrol-surveillance-drivers-ice-trump-9f5d05469ce8c629d6fecf32d32098cd

I know it has been a tough year for many of my constituents. There are resources for you to have a free Thanksgiving meal if you are struggling this year. https://www.click2houston.com/houston-life/2025/11/19/turkey-giveaways-2025-heres-where-to-find-free-thanksgiving-meals-in-the-houston-area/

Good background and what will happen next with gerrymandered maps that a federal court blocked yesterday. The next few weeks might be confusing and chaotic, which is exactly what Republicans want. Stay informed.

We did it.

Donald Trump's attempt to rig the 2026 election in his favor has been blocked. "'To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map,' the ruling states."

Epstein survivor delivers powerful message to Trump: "I am traumatized. I am not stupid."

Release the Epstein files and stop protecting pedophiles.

Hey Houston Fellows! Here at HCDP we want to put the “thanks” in Thanksgiving by giving back to our houston community. Help us give back by donating to our HCDP Thanksgiving Turkey Drive this Nov 22 to help out Houston families in need!

I spent Saturday morning in Acres Homes, stopping by the community farmers market and the Boys 2 Men Summit, which highlighted resources for young Black men in Houston. Thanks for the warm welcome!

"We oppose the indiscriminate mass deportation of people." In a vote of 216-5, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops just issued a powerful pastoral message. I urge you to read it in its entirety at the link below. https://bit.ly/4r08BUa

Soon, the House will vote on a continuing resolution that will rip healthcare away from millions of Americans, instead providing millions of dollars in taxpayer funds for Republican Senators. This is corruption, and this is a betrayal of working families. I am voting HELL NO.

A beautiful autumn morning to celebrate and honor Veterans at city hall. Veterans are the ultimate protectors of democracy, and our entire nation is grateful to them for their service. Happy Veterans Day to all who have served, especially my brothers who served in the Air Force!

This is what democrats are fighting against! Trump doesn't give a damn about us. "Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, told her that the monthly premiums for her Affordable Care Act policy would soar to $1,380 next year, up from $862." https://cnn.it/4p0Ffmz
