I just got back from a very busy H-E-B (for non-Texans: a grocery store) tonight.
I think people realize that prices are about to spike because of the Republican trade wars coming this week.

Another FBI leader standing up for the rule of law
“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy."
James Dennehy, FBI NY Field Office
Today marks the start of Black History Month, a time to celebrate the extraordinary achievements & contributions of Black Americans.
As the President and those in power make baseless, dangerous attacks on diversity, this celebration of excellence is more important than ever.

Before yesterday's crash, President Trump:
- Fired the heads of the TSA and the Coast Guard
- Pushed out the head of the FAA — leaving no one in charge
- Gutted a key aviation safety group
- Pushed air traffic controllers to quit as he purges the government
He's putting Americans in danger.

It only took a couple hours before Trump’s own administration debunked him on DEI.
- FAA report says staffing was “not normal” and that one controller was doing two jobs
- FAA employee reports that DEI programs have nothing to do with air traffic control

Just so we are clear on what to expect in the coming days, months, and years in terms of responses
1. It's Obama's fault
2. Biden broke it and left it for us
3. Woke
4. DEI
5. Thoughts
6. Prayers

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

DID YOU KNOW: Many Texans are eligible to file their taxes for free using the IRS Direct File tools.
Republicans are attacking Direct File to protect the profits of big tax-prep companies. That's not right — and I'll keep working to support your right to file for free.

I am praying for all the families of the victims of the horrific plane and helicopter crash in Washington, DC last night. I’m grateful for the work of the first responders from all over the DMV area who responded quickly.
Today, I met with the San Antonio Coalition for Veterans & Families about their work to meet the urgent needs of our veterans.
I'm proud to represent Military City US & it's an honor to stand up for our veterans like they stood up for us. For help with the VA, please call my office at 210-348-8216
Happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating in San Antonio and across the world! I’m wishing prosperity, health and happiness for all.
He was a trailblazer in education and public service and a longtime friend of my family. I’ll always be grateful for his work, and he will be missed.
I’m saddened by the passing of San Antonio’s Dr. Joe Bernal, a former member of the Texas Legislature who was passionate about great public schools and opportunity for all. 1/
