These people are either stupid or think we are all stupid (or both). Higher interest rates on treasuries are not a good thing.

You may think I’m healthy, I don’t need insurance, but will it always be that way? The problem with catastrophic only plans is that preventive and routine care reduce the probability, intensity and cost of a catastrophe.

The challenge with insurance is that individual purchasing decisions affect the group. If healthy people opt out then everyone left pays more. This causes others to drop out, again raising prices for everyone left. The cycle continues until the few people who remain are effectively uninsured.

Corporate tax cuts. Estate tax cuts. Overseas income tax cuts. Pass through business tax cuts. These are all tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy that Trump wasn’t willing to let expire. But ACA tax credits to protect health care? Forget about it.

As MAGA is so concerned with government subsidies for ACA health plans, it’s important to note that the government also subsidizes employer sponsored plans through a tax break for the employer contribution. The total cost of that tax break is over three times the cost of the ACA subsidies. ≈

“Trump’s “plan” to bypass insurance companies shows a complete lack of understanding of how insurance works. Smaller risk pools increase variance and raise costs. He wants risk pools of 1 - effectively eliminating insurance for anyone that doesn’t have it through an employer or Medicare."

Today is Election Day, and while we aren’t on the ballot just yet, there are many important local races taking place. Whether it’s for a School Board candidate, City Councilor, or any position that matters to you - make sure you vote and make your voice heard

Starting now! The Pun Show with @schwabfortexas.com! youtube.com/live/8XPX2WT...

Tomorrow on the Pun Show, economist and candidate @schwabfortexas.com joins the show to talk about what happens to our healthcare system if ACA subsidies aren't extended. Hope you can join us at noon CST.

When we cut SNAP benefits, we hurt both the families who need the food and the farmers who sell it. We should ask for competent and compassionate leaders from the local level to the federal level. That's why I want to represent my district in Texas blue. Help if you can! www.schwabfortexas.com

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Adding imports because tariffs are raising prices just continues to hurt American ranchers and consumers. It’s far more expensive to import thousands of miles than it is to source local beef, while threatening family farms.

The question has finally been answered!!! youtube.com/shorts/GNTEv...

After the No Kings protest, many are asking "What's next?" This is our generation's "What can you do for your country" moment. I encourage everyone to not doom scroll and complain but to be active. If you aren't running for office, support someone who is.

While I appreciate Secretary Hegseth's sudden concern for protecting national security secrets, this is not the way to do it. Compelling media outlets to sign away their First Amendment right to a free press defeats the purpose of having it. That's why even Fox News has refused to do so.

The cease-fire in Gaza is a great start, but we're a long way from the finish line. We need continue to push both sides to stay at the table until there's a determination of how to rebuild Gaza, and how a peaceful Palestine can self-govern without being a threat to Israel.

Our Governor is playing national politics with the Texas National Guard. We need a Texas legislature that is more concerned with running the state of Texas than with running for President.

As a retired officer of the US Army, I am shocked by the President's suggestion that we would use American cities as a "training grounds" for our military. I swore an oath to the Constitution, not to any person.

This week I was on the Blu-Lusional podcast talking about my vision for Texas, my personal story, and who, if I were running for president, I would choose as my VP, living or dead. open.spotify.com/episode/4czS...

The lack of documentation is part of the problem. We’be created a slave-like underbelly of people which both keeps them in poverty and pushes down wages for everyone else. The fix to this is to create a pathway to legal status for those that are here and have not been convicted of a violent crime.

In honor of all moms including my own mother and my wife, here is a portion of a recent speech talking about my mom and what she had to endure while caring for my Dad. #MothersDay2025 #MothersDay #schwabfortexas

Not sure who needs to hear this (actually I am - looking at you MAGA), but people cannot be illegal. Actions are illegal, people are not. We have a whole legal system to deal with actions.

In honor of small business appreciation week here is a clip from my recent speech. Thank you small business owners for driving our economic growth!#schwabfortexas #SmallBusinessSupport #Democrats

This is complete bs. The party of "limited government" wants to solve the problem through coercion: “...we can't control inflation, I can't control the availability of building materials...” state Rep. Tom Oliverson. Um, smart policy can help, but this is what happens when expertise is shunned.

Two service members were killed and a third seriously injured Tuesday morning in a vehicle accident near Santa Teresa, N.M., Joint Task Force Southern Border said in a news release.

We need to overturn Citizens United and end pay-to-play, but that will take organizing and winning elections at the local level.

What I like least about running for office is asking for money. But in 2024 my opponent received almost $1M directly from Gov Abbott to pass his extreme agenda. I'm building my campaign on many small donations. Let's show them we are stronger together. Please help if you can - every penny counts!

Had some productive conversations about energy policy today. Texas needs to invest more in solar farms rather than inefficiently subsidizing rooftop solar panels. Estimates vary but commercial solar is 20-25% cheaper than rooftop systems and as much as 50% cheaper than fossil fuels

We need to end performative actions and implement real solutions. Senators Gallego and Kelly understand this. We need more leaders like them here in Texas.
