If you call and you're represented by another member of Congress, we can give you their number.
San Antonians - I’ll be taking calls for the next hour in my office to hear directly from you.
Give us a call at 202-225-3236 and my staff will connect you directly with me. If I'm on the phone with another constituent, my staff (as always) will be glad to hear your concerns.
I’m voting NO on the Republican plan to cut hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid and nutrition assistance to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
Here’s what you need to know about today’s vote:
Remember: Trump said he was going to focus on deporting criminals.
I’m demanding that the Trump administration release data on the numbers of violent criminals they’ve actually arrested.
Targeting vulnerable children does not make America safer.
Donald Trump is aligning the United States with the world's worst tyrants.
The U.S. just sided with Russia and North Korea and voted against condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Unless you are a tax cheat, former Democratic and GOP IRS Commissioners agree: DOGE’s wrecking ball to the IRS as tax season begins only harms all of us paying our taxes, many of whom expect a refund check.
Undermining the IRS’s ability to answer phones and collect taxes lets tax cheats run wild.

Can confirm that pediatricians in Texas are scrambling. In the absence of any serious federal or state health guidance, they’re relying on group texts and private social channels to coordinate.

There was the Texas Music Educators Association annual conference wrapping up at the Convention Center that day. All the TMEA All-State Band/Choir/Orchestra students had their performances that day, so there would have been tons of families on the Riverwalk from all over the state….
Measles is extremely contagious and can be especially dangerous for children.
Many CVS, Walgreens, and H-E-B pharmacies offer safe and effective measles vaccines. To learn more about the MMR vaccine, visit Vaccines.gov
My staff and I are closely tracking the potential measles exposure in San Antonio that originated with a visitor from West Texas.
If you visited any of the locations listed below, please watch out for symptoms (including fever or unexplained rash) and contact a doctor right away if they occur.

Thank you Congressman. Continue to speak out. I’m one of your constituents and you need to be one of the loudest voices condemning this idiocracy, especially considering we’re “Military City USA,” and the home of the USAF Basic Training. The message being sent to trainees, is not good.

100%. Just like Lisa Franchetti. A distinguished career that mostly took place before "DEI" was a thing. This isn't undoing DEI. It's just straight up discrimination.

Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color.
General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them.
This is destabilizing for our nation.

Tough news for Spurs fans today. Victor Wembanyama is an incredible talent and a joy to watch. I hope he has time to rest and make a full recovery — the game isn’t the same without him. #GoSpursGo

🚨 Republicans are set to propose billions in Medicaid cuts next week. Here’s who would be hurt in TX:
❗36.2% of children
❗48% of new moms & babies
❗25.9% of adults w/disabilities
❗61% in nursing homes
❗15% of Medicare beneficiaries
I’m fighting to protect their care. #SaveMedicaid #TX32
