A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center. ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad. Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.

I wish our government would go after pedophiles like they go after brown men headed to work at 7 am. I wish they would close billionaire tax loopholes like they close our public schools. I wish they would fund healthcare like they fund forever wars in the Middle East.

An Amazon worker died in one of Amazon's warehouses. As he lay on the floor dying, management told the other workers: "Just turn around and don't look. Get back to work." That was a human being. A child of God. Sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed.

I'm running for LBJ's Senate seat. Like me, Lyndon Johnson was a Texas teacher. In office, he made the largest federal investment in America’s students this country has ever seen. When we win back LBJ’s seat, we can pass an LBJ-sized investment in America’s public schools.

Before I was a politician, I was a proud union member. I’m honored to stand with my union brothers and sisters on Labor Day and every day. In the Senate, I’ll fight to raise pay, lower costs, and empower Texas workers.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

I met a grandmother in Houston. Augusta works 10-hour shifts at the airport, but her wages don’t cover her basic expenses. Now she and her 5-year-old grandson are facing eviction. In the United States Senate, we’re going to have Augusta’s back.

Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

Ken Paxton got a $250,000 donation from the chair of Texas Tech’s Board of Regents. The next day, he threatened to sue the Big 12 to protect Brendan Sorsby, the Tech quarterback who was caught illegally betting on his games. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America. He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

THC is now virtually banned in Texas. Big Beer and Big Tobacco bought politicians to ban Delta-8 — because it's a threat to their profits. That is corruption.

Ken Paxton is throwing everything he has at us. He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan! I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Billionaires have taken over Texas and taken over America — but together, we can take power back for working people. Join this movement:

Ken Paxton stole someone’s $1,000 pen. He’ll steal your tax dollars. He’ll steal your healthcare. He’ll even steal your pen. I'll be a Senator who puts money in your pocket — and I’ll never put your pen in mine.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

When I was a student at UT, I registered voters for Obama’s 2008 campaign — a campaign of hope. President Obama just showed up at UT and told young Texans: “Now you have the chance to join a campaign of hope.” Sign up today:

Ken Paxton just denied our public information request for the Hoffman Files. Adam Hoffman — an admitted child molester — should be in prison, but Ken Paxton let him off the hook. Texans deserve to know why. We don’t need any more pedophile protectors in our government.

We just dropped our newest ad — and this one’s special. It features my PawPaw — a Baptist preacher who taught me to follow the two great commandments: love God &amp; love neighbor. Those teachings led me to public service and they’re why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

This economic system only serves those who can afford to pay politicians for access and control. This is not capitalism; this is crony capitalism. As Dr. King said: we have socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor.
