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...
Castro’s Cuba. Maduro’s Venezuela. Trump’s America.
Here’s one big thing they all have in common.
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.

Gavin Weisenburg, 21, and Tanner Thomas, 20, planned to take over Gonave Island and murder all men on the island, prosecutors alleged. n.pr/4puzyhb
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.
Today, the House passed legislation that takes us one step closer to releasing the Epstein files.
This is not about political gains. This is about the truth.
Today is a good day for democracy in Texas!
The courts blocked Gov. Abbott and Trump’s illegal power grab. Their racist re-districting attempt would undermine the voting power of Latino and Black communities. They failed. This is the right decision.
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.
There was an ICE raid in San Antonio yesterday. I am monitoring the situation and have asked local and federal authorities for more information.

A new report finds that local opposition to data centers skyrocketed in the second quarter of this year. www.wired.com/story/the-da...
New emails show how involved President Trump was with Epstein—including how he spent hours with one of Epstein's victims. Now, he’s attempting a cover up. Americans deserve transparency and the victims deserve justice. youtu.be/Rf0RiiWKM8w?...
I voted no on this disastrous bill. Texans deserve healthcare they can afford. More below:

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.

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.
