These folks work hard and deliver for us. They deserve a government that treats them with dignity and respect.
San Antonio is standing up and fighting back!
I was proud to rally with the National Association of Letter Carriers and the American Federation of Government Employees to oppose Elon Musk’s cuts and push for a fair contract with the U.S. Postal Service.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) worked hard to establish this Museum along with the American Women's History Museum in 2020, and it means a lot to see both of these museums come to life. Thank you to my CHC colleagues for putting their trust in me as our representative to the Board. 2/
Last Friday, I was honored to attend my first meeting for the Board of Trustees of the National Museum of the American Latino. 1/

"Jocelynn Rojo Carranza took her life after experiencing months of relentless bullying from her sixth grade classmates over her family's immigration status, with some students even threatening to contact the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."
Just no words ...

The Gainesville Intermediate School was aware Carranza was being bullied and mocked by students who told the young girl she would be left alone when her parents got deported.
It had gotten so aggressive, Carranza was meeting with a school counselor multiple times a week.”

Trump has dismantled the Aviation Security Advisory Committee. He has fired hundreds of FAA workers who did everything from maintenance and mechanics to aviation safety — and he’s threatening even more.
He is putting our safety at risk. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Reposted byJoaquin Castro
NEW: As legal challenges to DOGE mount, the White House claims Elon Musk is not technically in charge of the effort and has no decision-making power.
That contradicts Trump/Musk's own public portrayal. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Yes- and another plane crash this p.m.

Don't pilots have a union? Why aren't airlines in an uproar?

They pushed out the blueprint already and I haven't heard a single GOP member speak out against it. Have you?
Reposted byJoaquin Castro
Of course not. They either stupidly agree with Trump or are too afraid of him.

You'd think the airlines would be pitching a fit.

As a former flight attendant this makes me very nervous
Donald Trump and Republicans are making flying more dangerous.
This will increase the probability for plane accidents.
Texas has two of the largest airports in the country (DFW + IAH) yet Governor Greg Abbott stays mute about this danger.

Trump and Elon are making cuts to programs that literally are working to cure cancer.
People will die because of these decisions. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

The Washington Post—owned by billionaire and Trump inauguration attendee Jeff Bezos—spiked a print ad critical of Elon Musk and his increased influence on the federal government.
