An Arizona Republican state representative called for @jayapal.house.gov to be “tried, convicted and hanged.”
That’s hateful, dangerous rhetoric that could incite violence. The Republican state representative should be held accountable.

A shutdown is around the corner because Trump is refusing to negotiate a deal that protects affordable healthcare for millions of small business owners and middle-class families. Congress needs to extend ACA premium tax credits and keep folks in Texas and across the country insured.
Donald Trump doesn’t give a damn about keeping Texas families insured. He's only focused on punishing his perceived enemies and wants a shutdown instead of extending ACA premium tax credits. Congress must extend these tax credits and keep healthcare more affordable. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
The government will shut down in 4 days because Republicans don’t want to extend ACA premium tax credits. Millions of Americans are going to be without health insurance if these tax credits go away. Congress needs to make them permanent. www.tpr.org/government-p...

The difference couldn't be clearer.
Democrats want to keep the government open and fund health care.
Republicans want to shut down the government so they can cut programs that help working people.

My office is monitoring the ongoing investigation regarding the tragic killing of two immigrants detained at Dallas’ ICE facility and the injury of one other. This is a heartbreaking act of violence. All of us need to reject extremism in our politics and come together to prevent tragedies like this.
That starts by recognizing the signs, expanding access to resources, and standing with loved ones every step of the way. You are not alone.
My office joined V.O.I.C.E.S of our Veterans for their honorary flag ceremony on Texas Veteran Suicide Awareness Day.
Veterans face a higher risk of suicide—and it’s incumbent on all of us to honor the heroes who have sacrificed so much for our country, especially those who are struggling.
President Trump blew off his meeting with Dems to stop a shutdown.
All because he thinks keeping healthcare more affordable for families is “ridiculous.”
3 million Texans benefit from healthcare tax credits. Congress must extend the credits and keep people insured.

Wishing those who celebrate a sweet and peaceful Rosh Hashanah. Shanah Tovah!
SAVE THE DAY: My office is hosting a Passport Fair on Saturday, October 11th from 7AM to 3PM at the San Antonio Food Bank.
To reserve your spot, please call my district office at (210) 348-8216.
It turns out Tom Homan may be a much bigger criminal than the immigrants he’s targeting. He was caught on tape accepting a $50,000 bribe in exchange for securing government contracts.
Now, Trump’s DOJ is dropping the investigation.
This is total corruption. The DOJ and FBI must release the tapes.
The Republican funding bill does not include ACA tax credits that make healthcare affordable. Texans have the highest rate of uninsured folks. We need to extend tax credits to keep Texans covered.
I’m pushing to make these healthcare tax credits permanent.
The U.S. needs to use its leverage to stop the slaughter in Gaza.
I spoke in support of Rep. Jayapal's amendment to withhold funding for Israel when they fail to follow international humanitarian law.

I spoke against legislation that would give the Secretary of State the power to revoke passports from U.S. citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights.
That’s not keeping us safe—that’s punishing dissent.
Americans of all background should have the same opportunity to pursue careers in diplomacy.
Republicans would rather stop efforts to diversify our diplomatic workforce, jeopardizing American peace and prosperity.
This double standard holds our nation back.
Ignoring the rule of law and refusing to provide evidence or due process makes this an execution. That's not the American way.
The Trump admin carried out a 2nd deadly strike against a Venezuelan boat, killing three people.
They claimed those onboard were drug traffickers. Instead of providing evidence, they are asking the world to take their word for it.
U.S. diplomacy makes a difference in our daily lives—it prevents conflicts, saves lives through public health efforts, and protects U.S. jobs while creating opportunities abroad.
🧵Today, I join @houseforeign.bsky.social to advance State Department funding. Follow for updates.
