Republicans claim their bill is meant to protect women, but they can’t answer how it would protect women who might be mistaken for men in public or address the potential for “bathroom police” to harass women. They dodge the tough questions! Watch House Democrats hold them accountable.

We stand here today because of the strength, vision, and fight of women. Today, on Women's Equality Day, we celebrate the generations of women who came before us, who sacrificed all they could, with faith that future generations would live in a more equal world. 👏💗 #txlege

Republicans ended testimony early, though hundreds showed up and registered against SB 8 and HB 7. So, @donnahoward and I are hosting a “People’s Hearing” in the TX Capitol Auditorium. Right now. Please know that we are listening, and we are here to fight for you. I strongly oppose SB8. #txlege

“We will keep telling the truth. We will keep calling out injustice. And we will remember what you do here today—because history will remember it, too. I oppose this map. I oppose this process. And I oppose what it says about the value of Latino lives in the state of Texas.” #txlege

HB4, the racially motivated congressional districts that Trump ordered Abbott and the Texas legislature to produce, is on the floor of the House today! Instead of the flood relief we were promised, we're fighting fascism from the House chamber. This fight isn't over. #txlege

I was proud to stand with my friend @NicoleCollier95 earlier this afternoon. Republicans want to illegally and unconstitutionally surveil us. Thanks to Nicole, we will fight this.👏 #txlege

As a Texas House Democrat, we prioritize the needs of the people, not unconstitutional power grabs by billionaire criminals. Read my full statement about today's House floor activity here: #txlege

Today, we've been called back for a second sham special session to ram through Trump's racist maps. Simultaneously, the Senate is rushing consideration of anti-trans, anti-woman, & anti-veteran bills. Texas Republicans are going to great lengths to usher in fascism. #txlege

Thank you for your support in this fight! Please know that we are working, we are listening, and we hear you. We are committed to holding the line in the name of democracy! Abbott and Trump can threaten me all they want, but I will not allow them to silence you! 👏 #txlege

¡Bienvenidos! Welcome back, Dallas ISD and Grand Prairie ISD students and families! I can't wait to see the incredible things you ALL will accomplish this year. ¡Con ganas! Let's make this school year the best one yet. Good luck, HD104! ¡Sí se puede! #txlege

I'll say it again: We work for Texans, not Greg Abbott or Donald Trump. These rigged Republican maps are their cheat code to victory and we will not stand by and let this happen. #txlege

"No weapon formed against me shall prosper." We are safe, secure, undeterred, and united. On this 6Oth anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act, we are staying strong, together.

I’m in Illinois working for you, just like always, HD 104. They want to arrest me and my colleagues, but I’ve got news for them: I don’t scare easy. We won’t be pushed around by Trump, Greg Abbott, or the legislators pushing the rigged, racist maps that silence the voices of millions. #txlege

Yesterday, Kim Batchelor drove from Dallas to testify but was denied due to Capitol technological issues. The committee's failure to accommodate her shows how little Texas House Republicans value the voices of our neighbors. I urge to watch her testimony and hear her opposition to HB4. #txlege

Texas Republicans are rushing through new congressional maps that divide minority communities to dilute their voting power. This racial gerrymandering impacts every Texan. Join us and speak up: Texas Capitol, Aug 1, 10AM. Or visit RIGGEDREDISTRICTING.COM #txlege

This process has been a sham, even going back to June when the rumor of a special session on maps was first reported. This map is a disgrace to all Texans, drawn to silence voices of Brown and Black Texans, and shield Epstein’s best pal Trump from accountability. #txlege

This morning, our team joined TXU Energy to help distribute A/Cs, box fans, groceries, and other essential resources to our neighbors. Thank you TXU Energy & Tyler Street Church for helping our community stay safe. I am proud to represent HD104, a district built on trust and community. 🤍 #txlege

Thanks to @txuenergy for helping our neighbors beat the heat! Tomorrow, TXU Energy will be distributing 100 free window unit A/Cs and 50 box fans at Tyler Street Church. This is a great opportunity to pick up a window unit or box fan, and visit with other resources in HD 104!👏 #txlege

I am proud to have filed H.B. 38 in preparation for the upcoming special session of our legislature. H.B. 38 is a comprehensive nondiscrimination bill that would codify equal protection for the LGBTQ+ community and military veterans in employment, housing, and public accommodations.👏 #txlege

Thank you @texasaflcio.bsky.social for naming me a Texas Labor Champion, as I earned a 100% on their 2025 Pro-Worker Scorecard!  I'm proud to stand with Texas’ workers and their families. I promise that my support of the labor movement will never waiver, and you will always have a friend in me.

This Saturday, from 9 AM to 1 PM, is the El Barrio Cup! ⚽️ Come and enjoy some FREE family fun! 👏 We're excited to help promote this event, but please note that we are not the event hosts. Come out and support the community! #txlege

As long as the Texas House is a body that rubber stamps Trump's billionaire-backed agenda, I'm going to continue fighting back for House District 104. I'm running for re-election so my constituents have a trusted fighter working for them in the Texas Capitol.✊ #txlege jessicafortexas.com

As Pride Month comes to a close, I want to remind every person in HD 104 that you are loved, seen, and valued. Regardless of what our Governor claims, you are who you are, and he can never take that away. Thank you, for your trust and the opportunity to serve our community. Happy Pride! 🌈🫶 #txlege

Greg Abbott vetoed Summer EBT, leaving 3.8 million Texas children at risk of hunger this summer. Feeding Texas is stepping up where Abbott won't. Texas kids can access free summer meals, no ID or application needed. Text FOOD to 304-304 to find meal sites near you. #txlege

I am beyond lucky to spend tonight in Dallas with my compadres of the Dallas Rainbow Council of LULAC. Council #4871 was active during the 89th Session and continues to be an inspiration. I’m honored to brief them on what was the most brutal legislative session our comunidad has ever faced. #txlege

This session saw many brutal attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community, but I and my fellow @txlgbtqcaucus members still have hope for a more inclusive future. Thank you to @karlalealtv and @spectrumnews1tx for your special statewide coverage of #pridemonth in Texas! spectruminfocus.com/section/in-f...

My friends Mark and Vic put it beautifully. The fight continues. #txlege www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm...

Happy Juneteenth HD104! On this day in 1865, enslavement was officially ended in Texas. May this Juneteenth not only commemorate the struggles that have brought us to this day, but also celebrate our unity in continuing the fight for true freedom and equity in Texas. ❤️💛💚🖤 #txlege

Happy Father’s Day, Pa! Your leadership, love, and support have carried me through life. I am so lucky to call you my dad! Remember to wish your father figures a Happy Father’s Day. Thank you to all the incredible HD104 dads!❤️ #txlege

Amidst the fear and chaos from Trump and Gov. Abbott, HD 104: I stand with our community. As a daughter of immigrant parents, this fight is deeply personal to me. We must come together to keep our loved ones, and our state, safe. NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL. Period. We will never back down. ❤️ #txlege

Sending the Texas Guard to San Antonio is nothing more than an attempt to silence peace-loving people who are fed up with Texas Republican tyranny. Abbott and Trump are bullies, both cut from the same cloth. But they win when protests become dangerous.We can't let them win. #txlege

IMPORTANT REMINDER‼️Regardless of your immigration status, you have rights! Please share the information above with your family and friends. We must keep each other safe, and keep our families and communities together.👏 #txlege

Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Every Texan, including our families, our neighbors, and every student and educator in our schools deserves safety from gun violence. Despite our legislature’s passage of harmful gun bills, we must stand united to create a safer Texas. #txlege

Wishing everyone in HD 104 who celebrates a very Happy Eid Al-Adha! ✨ May this special holiday bring you joy and many blessings! #txlege

Happy Pride Month HD104! This month, we celebrate you in your authentic self. Despite the harmful legislation that passed this session, never stop being you. You matter, you are seen, and you are loved.💗 #txlege

So proud to recognize Principal Stephanie Amaya of W.H. Adamson High School at the Texas Capitol today! We're so lucky to have her dedication and commitment helping shape the future leaders of our community, our region, and our state. Thank you for everything you do for our students! #txlege

Happy Memorial Day! Today, we honor all who served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice for our liberty and democracy. Their commitment and service to our great nation deserve our celebration. To all our heroes, thank you; you will never be forgotten. #txlege

Book bans do not keep our students safe; rather, they hinder their development into well-rounded, adults and engaged citizens. SB 13 is a dangerous bill for our schools and will hurt LGBTQIA+ kids. I voted NO on SB 13 today. Books are not the source of harm, they are a source of growth. #txlege

Today, marks three years since the tragedy of the Robb Elementary mass shooting in Uvalde. Rather than passing legislation to prevent such horrors from recurring, the Texas House has chosen to prioritize harmful gun bills on today's agenda. Our Texas kids deserve better. #txlege

SB 1188 is a medical threat that blatantly ignores the reality of people's lives and everyday experiences. That's why fellow members and l of @txlgbtqcaucus caucus are offering amendments to protect your right to seek out the healthcare you need. #txlege

NOW🚨SB 3, Dan Patrick’s THC ban, is being debated on the House floor.  house.texas.gov/videos #txlege

SJR 1 won’t make Texas safer - so I’m not voting for it. By targeting immigrants, including DACA recipients and asylum seekers, SJR 1 undermines our American principle of due process by banning bail for migrants arrested for any allegation of wrongdoing. Urge your state representative to vote NO!

Republicans rammed HB 1106 through the Texas House this morning. I shared the stories of real LGBTQ-identifying children, victims of real abuse at the hands of their parents. Descriptions of the horrors inflicted upon them by their caretakers wasn’t enough to persuade them. My heart aches for them.

Trans people exist. Period. It’s abhorrent to abuse the power of this legislature to target Texans who dare to defy your counterfeit standards of gender. #txlege

Trans people exist. Period. It’s abhorrent to abuse the power of this legislature to target Texans who dare to defy your counterfeit standards of gender. #txlege

HB 229, a cruel and inhumane attack on the dignity of Texas’ trans community, has passed the Texas House today. My heart is broken for all the people who will be impacted by these bills. Don’t lose hope, this is your home too. We’ll keep fighting. Trans Texans will not be erased.  #txlege

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!💗 I am who I am today because of you. Thanks for being the best mom ever! Don’t forget to thank and celebrate your mothers this weekend! #txlege

Texas has one of the highest rates of uninsured residents in the nation. Enacting this law would worsen the problem by increasing insurance liability and deterring care. We must stand together for our working families to ensure Texans can access affordable healthcare, without creating more barriers.

Chairman Leach voted down my amendment to protect trans Texans' access to mental healthcare. I am concerned about the impact of this bill on trans individuals who need these services. I will never stop fighting for trans Texans alongside the @txlgbtqcaucus. #txlege

We can do right by our trans family AND do what Texans demand of the legislature. The Texas House LGBTQ Caucus is fighting for trans healthcare AND lower insurance premiums. SB 1257 is intended to hurt people and their pocketbooks. #txlege
