Saddened to hear of the passing of former State Representative Garnet Coleman. He was an institution in both Houston and at the Capitol in Austin.

Fox News asked me about those $5,000 checks Trump has promised, so I gave them the truth: You’re not getting them. Trump can keep making promises he can’t deliver. I’m going to keep telling folks the truth.

Just months after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by an ICE agent right here in Houston, we’re hearing reports of another ICE shooting in Austin. That’s unacceptable. ICE has shown us time and again that we cannot simply take their word for what happened. They have no credibility.

"The Trump family has turned the presidency into a side hustle." Watch @menefee.house.gov name names while he calls out the Trump administration's rampant corruption. Oversight Dems will hold them accountable.

Trump is in the White House while his family is cashing in, and Americans are getting crushed by the cost of groceries, gas, & rent. I serve on the @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social Committee. My job is to follow the money, expose the corruption, and hold them accountable. And I’ll continue to do so.

Republicans canceled votes AGAIN. For everyone else in this country, when you have a job to do, you’re expected to show up and get it done. Congress should be no different. The American people sent us here to work. Republicans keep canceling votes instead. It’s pathetic.

President Obama wore a tan suit, and Republicans acted like the sky was falling. Now, Trump and his family are making billions from shady business deals while he sits in the White House, and Republicans in Congress suddenly have nothing to say.

Trump doesn’t get to make up his own election laws. I joined more than 250 current & former members of Congress in a brief to the Supreme Court making clear that Trump’s mail-voting order is unconstitutional.

There’s no better way to spend Labor Day weekend than with the folks who keep TX-18 moving. From my grandfather, a longshoreman, to my sister, a public school teacher, unions are central to my family’s story and the backbone of our economy.

No one is above the law. Leon Black, one of Epstein’s highest paid players, decided not to show up for his deposition and then turns around and sues @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social You don’t get to dodge accountability just because you’re rich and powerful. Survivors deserve justice.

Republicans want to rewrite the Constitution to protect a Supreme Court drowning in corruption and ethics scandals. The same Court that gutted voting rights and ripped away abortion rights.

The destruction in Nepal is heartbreaking. Thousands of people remain missing, while the death toll continues to rise. My thoughts and prayers are with the Nepalese community, the families searching for loved ones, and all those who have lost family and entire villages from the devastating flood.

How desperate can you be? Trump is jeopardizing millions of Americans’ right to vote by mail. This whistleblower report from a federal USPS official is disturbing. An untested tracking system should not be putting Americans’ right to vote at risk.

62 years ago, the Food Stamp Act made a promise that no American should go hungry & made our country stronger because of it. Now, Trump is ripping food assistance away from families, children, seniors, & people w/ disabilities. I’ll keep fighting to protect SNAP. No one in America should go hungry.

Houston, we have a major storm heading our way. The US National Weather Service has put Houston under a flood watch warning this Tuesday through Wednesday. Hopefully it passes, but it's important to stay prepared. To report an outage, call 3-1-1 or visit houston311.org.

Embarrassing. Trump may get his ballroom because the judges he picked keep siding with him. People don’t need a ballroom at the White House. We need affordable health care and groceries. It’s time to reform the Supreme Court.

Victor Salgado should’ve been at home grieving with his family. Instead, ICE had him in custody for nearly 2 months. The same agency that took his brother’s life. Victor’s release is a good thing, but we’re not done fighting for justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who should still be here today.

Had a great visit to the HOPE Clinic. Health care centers like HOPE Clinic are a lifeline for families across TX-18, providing quality care without overwhelming out-of-pocket costs. Every family should be able to get the care they need without worrying about whether they can afford it.

This is just plain stupid. We know mail-in voting is safe and secure. But Donald Trump has nothing to show for his time in office, so he’s trying to suppress the vote, intimidate voters, and rig the midterm elections in his favor. www.npr.org/2026/08/24/n...

Since Trump took office, the national debt has skyrocketed to a whopping $40 trillion. Multiple rounds of tax cuts have helped the richest Americans and biggest corporations get richer while leaving working families to foot the bill. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/19/b...

More than 250 days deployed. These sailors have spent months away from their families under awful conditions. It's despicable. Our service members deserve better. If you have a family member serving aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, my office is here for you. www.npr.org/2026/08/15/n...

ICE agents don’t need shock gloves. They need accountability. Trump’s reckless deportation tactics have already cost lives, including Lorenzo Salgado Araujo right here in Houston. Spending millions on another tool to use force is dangerous, unnecessary, and asking for more harm.
