Tomorrow, the House will vote on an amendment to block the $3.3 billion in taxpayer funding we send to Israel's military. I will vote yes. It is past time for us to end aid used to commit genocide in Gaza, kill innocents in Lebanon and beyond, and help drag us into war with Iran.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Colbert got cancelled because CBS’ owner wanted to suck up to Trump. Over and over, billionaires are auctioning off our 1st Amendment. This isn’t about the rights of a TV host. It’s about all our rights to live in a country where the president doesn’t dictate who says what.

A Project 2025 board member just told me it’d be better “in the long run” if Haitians were enslaved &amp; colonized for 30 more years. THIS is who is behind Trump’s Project 2025.

Donald Trump says $200 billion is “a small price to pay” for his war with Iran. That's pretty easy for him to say. Because he never pays the price. It's not his healthcare getting cut. It's not his kids going hungry. It's not his budget getting stretched thin.

Carmen Mejia was exonerated after spending 20 years in prison for a crime she did not commit. Now, ICE may pick her up because she lost her immigration status due to that wrongful conviction. Carmen should not spend one more day wrongfully detained.

I'm demanding Congress vote on a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump's illegal war with Venezuela.

I brought AOC tortillas from H-E-B. They make people feel better after a tough night, and that's what the Spurs are going to give Knicks fans tonight. Go Spurs go!

Today, Sen. Bernie Sanders and I introduced the Home Team Act. Too often, billionaire sports team owners are getting richer while fans and taxpayers get screwed. Our bill requires team owners to offer locals the chance to buy a team before moving it away.

RFK Jr. looked me dead in the eye and lied. He said, "there are no cuts to Medicaid." Now we have receipts: 3.8 million people lost Medicaid or CHIP. All to pay for tax cuts for billionaire donors.

Fire Elon Musk. He crashes and breaks everything he buys. Now he thinks he can buy our government and strip it for parts. Even something as simple but essential as air traffic controllers are at risk. We can't let that happen. We need to fire Elon Musk.

Most Americans will never get to ask billionaires like Education Secretary Linda McMahon, “what do you need a tax cut for?” So I asked. Republican officials may think that’s rude. But we deserve to know.

Musk has ordered Trump &amp; Republicans to end disaster relief funding, keep childcare centers closed, and shut down government services for farmers, veterans, and retirees. None of this matters to the richest man in the world. But it should matter to us.

A Tesla worker in my district was electrocuted to death because the company ignored safety rules. OSHA fined Tesla $50,000. Elon Musk makes that back in nine minutes from federal contracts alone. Workers’ lives are worth more than nine minutes of Elon Musk’s day.

My amendment is simple: If Elon Musk leaves government by May 30th, like he’s supposed to, then he followed the law. But if Musk refuses to leave, we cancel his contracts and save our government $3 billion a year.

A Tesla worker in my district was electrocuted because the company cut corners. OSHA’s fine was just $50,000. Elon Musk makes that back in nine minutes from federal contracts alone. A worker’s life is worth more than a rounding error to a billionaire.

Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon's family is worth $3.2 billion. The administration is trying to give her a huge tax cut, paid for by cuts to Medicaid and food assistance -- including for kids. I asked her to explain why she needs the money. She refused.

At Liam’s school, three other kids have been taken by ICE. A U.S. citizen child with a brain tumor was deported away from her Texas doctors. Austin college student Any Lopez Belloza was deported by “mistake” and still can't come home. Trump's chaos and cruelty has to end.

An 18-year-old Austin student trying to graduate. A man who's lived here 24 years. A beloved 5th grade teacher. I just visited Karnes Detention Center to meet with the people ICE is targeting. We’ll keep fighting to get them home.

The bombing of a girls' elementary school with an American missile should haunt each of us. 168 people died, mostly female students, many as young as seven years old.
