Mayor Odom was a trailblazer in every sense of the word. Born in Shankleville and shaped by the values of hard work and service, he became the first African American postal inspector in Texas, the first Black school board member in Orange County, and later Arlington’s first Black mayor.

Straight from Trump's mouth: he doesn't care if you and your kids starve. As if we needed any more proof that Trump only cares about his billionaire buddies.

We have emergency funds to help families when SNAP runs out - but Trump and Republicans refuse to use it. This is what I call a B.S. REPUBLICAN MANUFACTURED FOOD CRISIS.

On November 1, Americans will not only see their health care costs skyrocket, but millions of families will be unable to put food on their tables. Republicans have the power to prevent this, but simply refuse to.

Today, you can head to healthcare.gov to window shop for your 2026 health insurance. But you may notice the price tag is A LOT HIGHER than previous years. Republicans have refused to lower the cost of your health care and shut the government down. Here are a few examples from Texas:

Check out TX Congressman @repmarcveasey.bsky.social as he puts Gov. Abbott, Ted Cruz, Mayor Johnson, and other Trump mouthpieces on blast for ignoring the real victims of yesterday’s tragic shooting

Must-read: @dallasnews.com profile of @repmarcveasey.bsky.social 👇 “I have to keep my head in a good place, because of the fight for voting rights & the fight for democracy & the fight for preserving the way of American life as we know it”

This is a Republican Shutdown. This is a Republican manufactured health crisis. And without even concept of a plan - they are fleeing town while your healthcare costs sky rocket.

Today is the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Social Security Amendments of 1965, which established Medicare and Medicaid. Nearly 2 million people are going to lose healthcare coverage here in Texas because of the Big Ugly Bill gutting Medicaid. The majority are children.

Trump and the Republican cowards want to rig the system because they know they can’t win when every voice counts and every vote matters.

Yesterday, hundreds of DFW residents and I spoke out against the racist mid-decade redistricting scheme by Abbott and Trump. We told them emphatically: Hell no, we will not go silently into the night as they try to rig an election before the first ballot has been cast.

On episode 14 of The-Fly-In, hosts @repgreglandsman.bsky.social & @repmarcveasey.bsky.social welcome New Dem chair @repschneider.bsky.social! This week, they discuss the damaging tax provisions in Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill, Trump’s costly tariffs, the New Dem vision for the path forward, and more.

Republicans on just chose again to protect predators. They voted against my amendment to release all files & letters between Epstein and Larry Nassar. What are they hiding? Release the files.

My fellow Texas Democrats and I introduced a bill that would direct $15 billion toward disaster relief efforts for Texas following the devastating floods. I urge Speaker Johnson to bring this to the floor for a vote. Texans desperately need this for emergency support.

Where there is smoke, there's🔥. And there is a lot of smoke. Release the Epstein files. www.wsj.com/politics/jus...

Redistricting mid-decade is attempt by Trump and Abbott to launch back into Jim Crow by silencing the voices of millions of Texans. They gutted your Medicaid. They took food away from your kids’ mouths. They can’t win fair and square, so they are going to cheat.

As the premier grill master for Congress, I can attest that this is true. The cost of everyday basics from food to medicine are only rising under President Trump's chaotic policies. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Right now Republicans have an opportunity to do the right thing and force the Trump Administration to release the Epstein files. Will they show courage or continue protecting billionaire predators?

I just introduced a resolution in Congress demanding Trump and Bondi release all the Epstein files. NO Republican signed on to cosponsor. Thank you for your attention to this matter. -CONGRESSMAN MARC A. VEASEY

Either Trump and his acolytes fueled the rumors of the significance of these Epstein files to help his campaign, or something is there! That's why on Monday, I’ll introduce a resolution demanding the Trump Administration release all files related to the Epstein case. Put up or Shut up!

The largest theft in American history occurred- more than $1 trillion dollars was gutted from Medicaid by Republicans for a tax break to billionaires. @greglandsman.bsky.social and I give you a break down of what you need to know: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Udu...

Abbott’s decision to call a special session on redistricting is nothing more than a craven power grab. Abbott and Trump: Bring it on.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill has already started to wreck chaos on Americans health care. Hospitals & clinics are starting to close due to the cuts to Medicaid. www.klkntv.com/rural-southw...

Just got back from 24 hours of voting to defend your health care from Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. Corrupt. Cowardly. Chaotic. That’s today’s Republican Party. I’m fighting back.

My statement regarding the "Big Ugly Bill": The Republican Party is the party of chaos, corruption, and cowards.

We are going to keep fighting.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is holding the floor to hold Republicans accountable for their tax scam. They will not pass their "Big Ugly Bill" in the dead of night.

It's midnight here in D.C. and I joined @calltoactivism.bsky.social to explain what’s at stake: your health care, our hospitals, keeping the lights on, & feeding our kids. Make no mistake — the Big Ugly Bill is a corrupt, chaotic, & cowardly attempt by Republicans to give billionaires a tax break.

I am on my way to vote against Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This bill is a chaotic and corrupt tax scam to take your Medicaid and give billionaires a tax break. These cuts affect everyone. Republicans aren't standing up for their constituents. So Democrats are.
