The dissent made it clear: the majority is now “rewarding intentional discrimination.”
Texans are going to keep fighting.

Donald Trump demanded five congressional seats from Texas. Governor Abbott did what he was told. The conservative Supreme Court sealed the deal.
They can’t win by delivering for hardworking Americans—so they turn to corrupt and racist redistricting.
Americans DO NOT want to go to war with Venezuela.
There are far more effective ways to stop drugs from entering the country than blowing up boats.
And after pardoning a notorious drug kingpin, how can anyone believe Trump is serious about stopping drug trafficking?
Yesterday, he received a presidential pardon from Donald Trump and is a free man.
Much of the investigation into him was conducted during the first Trump administration.
This man trafficked 400 tons of cocaine into the United States. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison for his crimes.

Thank you to @ameracadpeds.bsky.social, @campaign4kids.bsky.social, SPOON Foundation and @unicefusa.org for their support of this bill and dedication to helping kids thrive.
I'm proud to introduce the bipartisan Global Child Thrive Reauthorization Act of 2025 with Reps. McCormick, Olszewski and Fitzpatrick, which helps nurture and support vulnerable children around the world.
Dismantling the department means pulling support for students with special needs, weakening civil-rights protections, and upending loan programs that make college accessible.
Instead, he’s cutting experienced staff and reassigning duties to other agencies. Even Republicans are worried.
Trump wants to eliminate the Department of Education. But he can’t without Congress.
3+ million Texans rely on healthcare subsidies to afford their health insurance.
In Congress, I’m pushing to extend these subsidies AND open enrollment so folks can stay insured.
Trump’s response: “I’d rather not.”
We must never turn our back again. The Trump Admin must reverse its billions in cuts to programs that help prevent HIV/AIDS in the U.S. and around the world.
This #WorldAIDSDay, we reflect on the progress to prevent and cure HIV/AIDS—including ending the stigma that forced too many into the shadows.

If this reporting is accurate, Secretary Hegseth ordered a murder and must be held accountable.
This is probably why he is so concerned about Senator Kelly and my colleagues’ warning about illegal orders. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

He is responsible for the deaths of countless American citizens, and will now be pardoned by Donald Trump.
Don’t tell me Donald Trump is killing people in boats in the Caribbean to stop drug trafficking.
The Justice Department estimated that this represents 4.5 billion doses of cocaine and that he was “at the center of one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world.”
