Immediately after the raid, I demanded answers alongside @repcasar.bsky.social , from the agencies involved. We have not received answers. This kind of secrecy and disregard for accountability is unacceptable.
If ICE has nothing to hide from its raid in San Antonio, why did they smash security cameras? If authorities are so sure they arrested 51 members of Tren de Aragua, why can’t they offer proof? www.kens5.com/article/news...
The Trump Admin’s unprecedented secrecy and hostility toward Congress is hurting our country. Last week, in my @houseforeign.bsky.social hearing, a Republican Admin refused to send a witness for their Republican chair. Trump is leaving his own party in Congress—and all Americans—out to dry.
There are serious questions surrounding the ICE raid in San Antonio. Teenagers—even a baby—were caught up in the chaotic scene. There needs to be accountability and transparency. I am demanding answers from ICE and other agencies, alongside @repcasar.bsky.social
Jonathan Pollard is a convicted traitor who provided highly sensitive national security information to the Israeli government. He did grave harm to our country. It’s unacceptable that Ambassador Huckabee secretly met with Mr. Pollard, a convicted traitor, at the United States Embassy.
Gov. Abbott and Trump’s illegal redistricting plot backfired. It set off a national movement to level the playing field. And yesterday, the courts struck down their illegal maps. But this should have never happened. Americans deserve fair and equal representation.
The admin has been trying to gut FEMA since Trump took office. They slashed funding and pushed out seasoned emergency management experts. When deadly floods hit Central Texas, David Richardson—the head of FEMA—was nowhere to be found. We owe it to every Texan to demand better.
Breaking news: David Richardson resigned as acting head of FEMA. Richardson was known for frequently being inaccessible, including during the early hours of the flood disaster in Texas over the Fourth of July weekend.
Republicans have been MIA for 6 weeks, refusing to extend healthcare subsidies. Now countless Texans won't be able to pay for skyrocketing premiums. I’ll keep fighting because affordable healthcare is a worthy cause. 📺: @jimacosta.bsky.social
Republicans refuse to lower healthcare costs. Older Texans that are too young for Medicare will be hit the hardest. Theresa Hebert is one of the more than 3 million Texans who rely on healthcare subsidies. Without ACA tax credits, her premium will cost $1,000/month.
