It's one of my greatest privileges in Congress to nominate young women and men to attend U.S. Service Academies. This year's candidates for our Service Academies were extremely impressive.

Trump is illegally striking ships in the Caribbean to "go after cartels" only to pardon drug king pins. It's complete hypocrisy, it's recklessness, and it's lawlessness.

Donald Trump demanded five congressional seats from Texas. Governor Abbott did what he was told. The conservative Supreme Court sealed the deal. They can’t win by delivering for hardworking Americans—so they turn to corrupt and racist redistricting.

Americans DO NOT want to go to war with Venezuela. There are far more effective ways to stop drugs from entering the country than blowing up boats. And after pardoning a notorious drug kingpin, how can anyone believe Trump is serious about stopping drug trafficking?

This man trafficked 400 tons of cocaine into the United States. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison for his crimes. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/forme...

I'm proud to introduce the bipartisan Global Child Thrive Reauthorization Act of 2025 with Reps. McCormick, Olszewski and Fitzpatrick, which helps nurture and support vulnerable children around the world.

Trump wants to eliminate the Department of Education. But he can’t without Congress.

3+ million Texans rely on healthcare subsidies to afford their health insurance. In Congress, I’m pushing to extend these subsidies AND open enrollment so folks can stay insured. Trump’s response: “I’d rather not.”

This #WorldAIDSDay, we reflect on the progress to prevent and cure HIV/AIDS—including ending the stigma that forced too many into the shadows.

If this reporting is accurate, Secretary Hegseth ordered a murder and must be held accountable. This is probably why he is so concerned about Senator Kelly and my colleagues’ warning about illegal orders. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Juan Orlando Hernandez was convicted by a jury of conspiring to traffic 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.

In the wake of the shooting of two National Guard members, I am praying for the family of Sarah Beckstrom and for the recovery of Andrew Wolfe. Such violence has no place in our society and we cannot let it tear us apart.

If ICE has nothing to hide from its raid in San Antonio, why did they smash security cameras? If authorities are so sure they arrested 51 members of Tren de Aragua, why can’t they offer proof? www.kens5.com/article/news...

Castro’s Cuba. Maduro’s Venezuela. Trump’s America. Here’s one big thing they all have in common.

The Trump Admin’s unprecedented secrecy and hostility toward Congress is hurting our country. Last week, in my @houseforeign.bsky.social hearing, a Republican Admin refused to send a witness for their Republican chair. Trump is leaving his own party in Congress—and all Americans—out to dry.

Gavin Weisenburg, 21, and Tanner Thomas, 20, planned to take over Gonave Island and murder all men on the island, prosecutors alleged. n.pr/4puzyhb

There are serious questions surrounding the ICE raid in San Antonio. Teenagers—even a baby—were caught up in the chaotic scene. There needs to be accountability and transparency. I am demanding answers from ICE and other agencies, alongside @repcasar.bsky.social

Jonathan Pollard is a convicted traitor who provided highly sensitive national security information to the Israeli government. He did grave harm to our country. It’s unacceptable that Ambassador Huckabee secretly met with Mr. Pollard, a convicted traitor, at the United States Embassy.

Gov. Abbott and Trump’s illegal redistricting plot backfired. It set off a national movement to level the playing field. And yesterday, the courts struck down their illegal maps. But this should have never happened. Americans deserve fair and equal representation.

Today, the House passed legislation that takes us one step closer to releasing the Epstein files. This is not about political gains. This is about the truth.

Today is a good day for democracy in Texas! The courts blocked Gov. Abbott and Trump’s illegal power grab. Their racist re-districting attempt would undermine the voting power of Latino and Black communities. They failed. This is the right decision.

The admin has been trying to gut FEMA since Trump took office. They slashed funding and pushed out seasoned emergency management experts. When deadly floods hit Central Texas, David Richardson—the head of FEMA—was nowhere to be found. We owe it to every Texan to demand better.

There was an ICE raid in San Antonio yesterday. I am monitoring the situation and have asked local and federal authorities for more information. Here is what we know so far: youtu.be/H8rZNaGzNHs

A new report finds that local opposition to data centers skyrocketed in the second quarter of this year. www.wired.com/story/the-da...

New emails show how involved President Trump was with Epstein—including how he spent hours with one of Epstein's victims. Now, he’s attempting a cover up. Americans deserve transparency and the victims deserve justice. youtu.be/Rf0RiiWKM8w?...

I voted no on this disastrous bill. Texans deserve healthcare they can afford. More below:

Republicans have been MIA for 6 weeks, refusing to extend healthcare subsidies. Now countless Texans won't be able to pay for skyrocketing premiums. I’ll keep fighting because affordable healthcare is a worthy cause. 📺: @jimacosta.bsky.social

Republicans refuse to lower healthcare costs. Older Texans that are too young for Medicare will be hit the hardest. Theresa Hebert is one of the more than 3 million Texans who rely on healthcare subsidies. Without ACA tax credits, her premium will cost $1,000/month.

Trump said he would release the Epstein files—until he realized he was in them. We are watching a cover-up in real time. There needs to be accountability. The victims deserve justice.

The UK has allegedly stopped sharing intelligence with the US used to fight drug trafficking. The Trump Admin is alienating our allies who want no part in their illegal campaign of government sanctioned killings in the Western Hemisphere. More of my thoughts: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I was honored to present U.S. Army Specialist Alfredo Gutierrez with the Purple Heart and six other distinguished military service medals for his heroic actions during the Vietnam War. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your sacrifice and service.

Veterans day is around the corner. My district office joined Project MEND’s Salute to Our Veterans celebration and shared with the community ways our office can be helpful. If you are a veteran and need help accessing the care and benefits you’ve earned, call our office at 210-348-8216.

In San Antonio, I met with faith leaders Father David Garcia, Luis Martinez, Dustin Martin, and Sister Constanza Fernandez. Thank you for your leadership in our community and w/ @catholicrelief.bsky.social to address hunger around the world. Your work reminds us of the importance of serving others.

Nancy Pelosi is a history-maker. As the first woman House speaker and leader of the Democratic party for twenty years, she was instrumental in securing marriage equality, affordable healthcare, and infrastructure investments.

Yadira Córdoba has been detained by ICE since August. After her son was killed by the Nicaraguan government for protesting the authoritarian regime, she joined the fight for freedom. She deserves asylum—not deportation that puts her life in jeopardy. www.tpr.org/news/2025-11...

Donald Trump and the Republicans tried to weaponize SNAP benefits thinking it would force Democrats to cave on fighting for affordable healthcare. Now, the courts are forcing Trump to release SNAP benefits and we’re still fighting for coverage that’s affordable for everyone.

Go out and vote today! I am glad to see that many folks have already voted early and made their voices heard. For more information about voting, visit votetexas.gov. www.expressnews.com/news/article...

Governor Abbott cares more about helping ICE than he does helping Texas families keep food on the table.

Republicans are ripping away ACA premium tax credits, causing healthcare costs to soar by 35% in Texas on average. Just look the premium rates for 2026 compared to last year. Many families won’t be able to afford it! Republicans need to reopen the government and work with Democrats to lower costs.

I am proud to celebrate COPS/Metro, which for 50 years has shaped life in San Antonio for the better. COPS/Metro continues to bring together people of conscience to call out ICE for its brutality and lawlessness, stand up for our community, and protect due process and the rule of law.

Can Sec. Noem look at Goerge Retes, Lenardo Vanegas, and 170+ U.S. citizens in the eye and lie to their face? We’ve read the reports, heard the stories, and seen the videos. Americans citizens, including children, are being illegally detained. This is the racial profiling dragnet we warned about.

Governor Greg Abbott needs to use the state's $24 billion rainy day fund to make up for lost SNAP benefits. Or he's turning his back on 3.5 million Texans. And Attorney General Ken Paxton needs to join the 25 other states suing the USDA for illegally withholding SNAP funding.

The Trump Admin is justifying its strikes in the Caribbean and off the coast of Mexico through a secret memo it won't share with the Congress or the American people because we know it’s a hastily slapped-together defense of blatantly illegal strikes.

Today I visited the food pantry at Inner City Development in San Antonio, which is doing incredible work. But in Washington, Donald Trump is holding SNAP benefits hostage. He had the authority to keep 3.5 million Texans fed and chose not to.
