This isn't just a reorganization of the U.S. Forest Service. It's a dismantling of the agency—an agency that not only provides access to our public lands but protects against wildfires and prevents ecological disasters.

President Trump has done so much to hinder the important work of the Title X program, from freezing its funding to firing the civil servants who administer it. Congress must support Title X, which is why I led the effort to increase its funding this year.

No one should miss a life-saving emergency alert because they don't have service. That's why I'm glad @energycommerce.bsky.social unanimously passed the Mystic Alerts Act to encourage mobile providers to adopt technology with the potential to close dangerous gaps in our emergency comms system.

Happy #Passover and Chag Pesach Sameach to all who celebrate in #TX07 and across our community!

My statement on President Trump’s executive order to restrict mail-in voting.

Last week, I was glad to welcome global leaders and congressional colleagues, including @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social, to Houston for CERAWeek to take part in meaningful discussions about energy of all kinds, the realities today, and how we build a reliable, affordable energy future.

Today's ruling by the Supreme Court against states' bans on conversion therapy undermines the safety of young LGBTQI+ people in the U.S., full stop. Read Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social's statement & commitment to fighting back against this harmful & deceptive practice:

Transgender Day of Visibility is a time of celebration and recognition. I am honored to represent all the people of #TX07 and I am proud to celebrate and affirm my transgender constituents and neighbors this #TransgenderDayofVisibility.

Today, House Republicans brought a resolution of support for the Department of Homeland Security rather than a bill with a realistic path to becoming law to pay the public servants at DHS who are not being paid. (1/2)

Cheering on the #Astros as they #ChaseTheFight in their season opener today. Happy baseball season, y'all!

President Trump: *Casts vote by mail in Florida election* Also President Trump: *Doubles down on crusade to severely restrict mail-in voting nationwide* Trump is aware mail-in voting is secure & effective, but his hypocrisy knows no bounds.

High school artists: one week until #TX07 Congressional Art Competition submissions are due! All the details are at: fletcher.house.gov/forms/submitartwork

If Republicans know negotiations remain ongoing and if they truly cared about shutdown impacts, they’d move with Democrats to fund FEMA, TSA, cybersecurity, Secret Service & Coast Guard.   My bill does that while keeping ICE & CBP negotiations separate.

A federal judge blocked parts of RFK Jr.'s push to reshape US vaccine policy, including efforts to reduce the number of shots recommended for children https://cnn.it/4rwhW4X

He fought alongside American troops in Afghanistan and was brought to the United States by America—only to die while in ICE custody in Texas. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Even after being ordered to give you your money back, Trump is doing anything and everything he can to keep it.

I am following the developments in today's attack on a synagogue in Michigan. This antisemitic attack is heartbreaking and unsettling. While I am glad to learn that no one other than the attacker was injured, this attack harms us all in countless ways. 1/2

This month, we recognize the ongoing fight for justice and equality, because Women’s History Month isn't just about the past—it’s about learning from it, celebrating it, and making more of it.

Today, I voted against funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which falls far short of addressing Americans’ legitimate concerns about the Trump administration’s increasing lawlessness and brutality. Read more: fletcher.house.gov/news/documen...

Americans are stranded around the world because the president FAILED to PLAN. This is unconscionable because this is a WAR of CHOICE. www.cbsnews.com/video/trump-...

It is clear that the Trump administration has no coherent plan to evacuate Americans stranded in the Middle East. I joined my colleagues in calling on the State Department to use all available resources to help affected Americans return home safely and quickly.

It’s an absolute dereliction of duty that the Trump Administration didn’t have a plan in place to get Americans out of danger.

In today's @energycommerce.bsky.social hearing, we're discussing what the future holds for the Pipelines & Hazardous Safety Administration. It's critical that the U.S.—led by minds like those in #TX07— maintain its R&D leadership in this key energy sector. Tune in now—I'm about to ask my questions.

We should vote on a War Powers Resolution.

This is the current guidance from the State Department. It is insufficient and I will demand better, but I will continue to share the guidance for all those concerned about Americans in the region.

I am heartbroken by the senseless mass shooting in downtown Austin. No one should fear facing violence on a night out. I am grateful for the first responders who acted swiftly, and my heart is with the victims, the survivors, and all those whose lives have been shattered by this tragedy. (1/2)

This is so not ok. It's is why I introduced the Toxic Free Beauty Act with @schakowsky.house.gov and others. It's time to end the use of these harmful chemicals in beauty products.

As I announced earlier this week, I did not attend the president's speech, and instead spent the evening discussing the real state of our union with #TX07 neighbors, including community leaders who see first hand the challenges of rising costs, increasing uncertainty, and failing leadership in DC.

At the same time the Trump administration has ramped up recruiting for immigration enforcement agents, it has slashed training—cutting ICE agent training from 22 weeks to just 47 days. [1/2]

Four years ago, Russia launched its unprovoked, unjustified, and unconscionable invasion of Ukraine. Today, Ukraine still stands. We must continue to support them as they fight for their sovereignty and for our shared democratic values. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

On March 7, Team #TX07 will host a Passport Fair to help our neighbors apply for or renew their passports. Appointments are required—sign up at fletcher.house.gov/events. Passports are becoming essential. Make sure you have yours before you need it.

Three months into President Trump’s mass deportation undertaking, an ICE officer shot and killed a U.S. citizen in South Padre Island, long before immigration agents killed another American in Minnesota that prompted outrage across the nation.

Early voting continues this week in Texas. Make a plan to vote this week! Harris County: harrisvotes.com Fort Bend County: www.fortbendcountytx.gov/government/d...

Kristi Noem has made Americans across the country less safe. From harassment to assaults to killings, DHS and ICE are completely out of control. It’s time to impeach Noem.

Urgent resources for Americans in Mexico:

My statement on the Supreme Court's decision to strike down President Trump’s tariffs.

According to the CBO’s recent analysis, Trump and Republicans' economic agenda is adding $4.7 trillion to the debt. All while workers and families get: expensive groceries, higher bills, and no health care.

The @energycommerce.bsky.social Oversight Subcommittee recently held a hearing on fraud in Medicare and Medicaid -- an important area for oversight. But it became clear that the real goal was to give Trump a pretext to continue attacks on communities across the country. I called that out.

In case you missed it, House Republicans passed a bill last week putting up barriers to voting and sent it to the Senate, right before President Trump tweeted that he was just going to do what he wanted to with or without Congress. (1/2) fletcher.house.gov/news/documen...
