I had a surprise young constituent in my Dallas office yesterday — precious Ms. Lilli! Special thanks to her amazing family for their advocacy and for reminding us all on why protecting our access to quality education MATTERS!

Trump signed an executive order that he said would “begin eliminating the federal Department of Education once and for all,” although the agency cannot be closed without the approval of Congress.

Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.

Eight years ago, we sat across from Betsy DeVos, fighting for our child, for trans kids, for every student’s right to a safe school. We left knowing these rights were fragile.Now, discrimination has become a full-scale assault—on trans kids, on education, on civil rights. This is not a drill.

I want to salute the Governor of Maine Janet Mills who, in that room with a raging Trump and silent complicitors, stood her ground and said, “see you in court!” Maine residents, show your support for your Gov for standing up for your independence.

Not gonna lie. Today, my love language was Hellman’s Mayo. Hubby had been buying a different brand that shall not be named so today, when I opened the fridge door, I felt loved. There, right in front, was my Hellman’s. It’s the little things:)

Not all sheros wear capes, but sure do wear the title of Congresswoman! @repjasmine.bsky.social is the real deal- she cares deeply and fights passionately. Stay strong Congresswoman and know you have so many of us behind you. 💪
