Trump and Republicans need to end their shutdown and make life more affordable for families in Texas and across the country.
Donald Trump left the country.
His press secretary says his main focus is tearing down the White to build a ballroom.
Meanwhile, Congressional Republicans refuse to reopen the government.
So 42 million people are about to lose SNAP benefits that keep food on the table.
People are being harassed and arrested because of the color of their skin.
Trump’s masked agents are operating without warrants, without probable cause—just discrimination. It's un-American and must end.
This month, I’ve heard from many of you concerned about healthcare premiums increasing and the impacts of the government shutdown.
I regularly write to update folks on what is happening in Congress and how I am fighting for San Antonians. Sign up below to join the conversation. tr.ee/blewmG

Trump is more focused on his $200 million ballroom and bailing out Argentina than he is on re-opening the American government.

Why won’t Speaker Johnson swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva? Because she is the last signature needed to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein files.
This is an active coverup meant to protect powerful people from accountability.

That’s why I—and so many Democrats—are fighting so hard to protect healthcare subsidies for millions of Americans.
Thank you to Association of American Cancer Institutes (AACI) for the kind recognition of my work.
Here’s my story.
This morning I shared my story about finding out I had cancer.
As a cancer patient, I know treatment is expensive. For many Americans, having health insurance is the difference between life and death.

I offered an amendment at a recent @houseforeign.bsky.social committee meeting to require a report on ties between Bukele and MS-13, a brutal gang.
Every Republican voted NO, participating in the coverup.
The Trump Administration made a deal with El Salvador that threatened years of U.S. law enforcement work to fight MS-13 so they could send people to CECOT—one of the most inhumane prisons in the world.
Today San Antonio ushers in a new beginning with the grand opening of El Museo del Westside. It will help tell the Latino story—rejecting stereotypes and defining our community by our contributions to the history, culture and prosperity of our country.

Masked ICE agents are assaulting and arresting American citizens while Trump and Stephen Miller applaud.
We have to keep pushing back against their attacks on our rights.
Despite what the president and governor might believe, Trump is not king. This is the UNITED States of America. Deploying Texas troops is undermining our civil liberties and states’ rights.

As Texans, we urge Governor Abbott to keep the Texas National Guard where it belongs—in Texas.

From Texas to Louisiana and beyond, racist redistricting robs people of their voices. It has no place in our democracy.
The Voting Rights Act fulfilled the promise of American democracy: one voice, one vote. This landmark legislation gave Latino, Black and minority communities a chance at fair representation in politics.
Now, the conservative Supreme Court is on the verge of gutting it.
From Texas to Louisiana and beyond, racist redistricting robs people of their voices and communities of their power. It has no place in our democracy.
