Trump said he would release the Epstein files—until he realized he was in them.
We are watching a cover-up in real time. There needs to be accountability. The victims deserve justice.

The UK has allegedly stopped sharing intelligence with the US used to fight drug trafficking. The Trump Admin is alienating our allies who want no part in their illegal campaign of government sanctioned killings in the Western Hemisphere.
More of my thoughts: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
I was honored to present U.S. Army Specialist Alfredo Gutierrez with the Purple Heart and six other distinguished military service medals for his heroic actions during the Vietnam War. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your sacrifice and service.
Veterans day is around the corner. My district office joined Project MEND’s Salute to Our Veterans celebration and shared with the community ways our office can be helpful.
If you are a veteran and need help accessing the care and benefits you’ve earned, call our office at 210-348-8216.
In San Antonio, I met with faith leaders Father David Garcia, Luis Martinez, Dustin Martin, and Sister Constanza Fernandez. Thank you for your leadership in our community and w/ @catholicrelief.bsky.social to address hunger around the world. Your work reminds us of the importance of serving others.
Thank you for your decades of service For the People, Speaker Emeritus.
During my time in Congress, I have had the honor of calling Nancy Pelosi a friend and colleague, where I have seen her vision and perseverance firsthand. I am grateful for her work to fight for Dreamers and to create a pathway to citizenship. She has a made a profound contribution to our nation.
Most recently, she played a key role in passing the ballot measure in California to counteract racist redistricting in my state of Texas.
Nancy Pelosi is a history-maker. As the first woman House speaker and leader of the Democratic party for twenty years, she was instrumental in securing marriage equality, affordable healthcare, and infrastructure investments.
Yadira Córdoba has been detained by ICE since August.
After her son was killed by the Nicaraguan government for protesting the authoritarian regime, she joined the fight for freedom.
She deserves asylum—not deportation that puts her life in jeopardy. www.tpr.org/news/2025-11...
Donald Trump and the Republicans tried to weaponize SNAP benefits thinking it would force Democrats to cave on fighting for affordable healthcare.
Now, the courts are forcing Trump to release SNAP benefits and we’re still fighting for coverage that’s affordable for everyone.
Go out and vote today!
I am glad to see that many folks have already voted early and made their voices heard.

Governor Abbott cares more about helping ICE than he does helping Texas families keep food on the table.
Republicans are ripping away ACA premium tax credits, causing healthcare costs to soar by 35% in Texas on average.
Just look the premium rates for 2026 compared to last year. Many families won’t be able to afford it!
Republicans need to reopen the government and work with Democrats to lower costs.
I am proud to celebrate COPS/Metro, which for 50 years has shaped life in San Antonio for the better.
COPS/Metro continues to bring together people of conscience to call out ICE for its brutality and lawlessness, stand up for our community, and protect due process and the rule of law.

Can Sec. Noem look at Goerge Retes, Lenardo Vanegas, and 170+ U.S. citizens in the eye and lie to their face?
We’ve read the reports, heard the stories, and seen the videos. Americans citizens, including children, are being illegally detained.
This is the racial profiling dragnet we warned about.

Governor Greg Abbott needs to use the state's $24 billion rainy day fund to make up for lost SNAP benefits. Or he's turning his back on 3.5 million Texans.
And Attorney General Ken Paxton needs to join the 25 other states suing the USDA for illegally withholding SNAP funding.
Trump's former State Department Legal Adviser even confirmed that gang activity isn't the basis for a new, unauthorized war—it's a law enforcement matter.
The Trump Admin is justifying its strikes in the Caribbean and off the coast of Mexico through a secret memo it won't share with the Congress or the American people because we know it’s a hastily slapped-together defense of blatantly illegal strikes.
