[1/2] Almost a decade after first introducing legislation to curb sham tax-avoidance transactions with no real economic purpose, I finally secured approval of an “economic substance” requirement in 2010.

In addition to being directly responsible for the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives in some of the most desperate corners of the Earth, Trump’s abrupt dissolution of USAID shows his disrespect for the American patriots, who have dedicated their lives to serve our country around the world.
Met with the American Coalition for Ukraine and Austinite John Stennet on the urgent need for more U.S. support for Ukraine in its fight for sovereignty.
While the Trump regime rewards Putin with more sanctions relief, I will never stop fighting for a free Ukraine and a just, lasting peace.
[2/2]... other countries, we must urge our global allies to maintain their efforts and for us to plan for a better time, when sanity and science form the foundation for our energy policies.
Republicans' climate denial endangers us all.
[1/2] Joined colleagues and foreign counterparts with the SEEC Institute to discuss the urgency of funding clean energy, resiliency and adaption, and sustainability projects to protect families around the world.
As Trump undermines American commitments and seeks to intimidate...
[2/2] These students have developed a smartphone app to help seniors and others assess and mitigate the risk of falls. Investing in the next generation of innovators isn't just inspiring — it's essential.
[1/2] Meeting with enterprising McNeil High students Hansika Perisetty and Asvini Thivakaran, along with their teacher Carrie Copeland with support rom Samsung's Solve for Tomorrow program.
[2/2] I think my very conservative GOP colleague, Joe Wilson said it best, hosting a Russian delegation is like “having a visit by the Third Reich.”
[1/2] A new appeasement caucus is being formed in the House by colleagues who want to make common cause with war criminal Putin.
Looking to build relationships with a ruthless dictator who is actively helping the Iranian regime more accurately strike American targets is outrageous.
A win for cyclists over more Trump wrongdoing. On the mornings when I ride in DC just for the joy of it, these lanes are full of those cycling to work. So pleased that a court ruled in favor of the cyclists by recognizing that Trump’s suppression was, as the judge put it, “arbitrary and capricious.”
Pleased to have in DC Austin Water, TX American Water Works Association and New Braunfels Utilities. Grateful for their work to maintain reliable water services, especially as Central TX grows and faces ongoing drought challenges. Nothing better tasting than Colorado on the rocks.
[2/2]... an app here, as they receive an award at the Capitol.
Congratulations Viraj, Vihaan, and Shivank, along with their supportive fathers, Vikram and Bix. Their achievement offers real hope for the future.
[1/2] Visiting again with an impressive group of young Austinites whom I selected as winners of our App Challenge for their design of CareLoop, a caregiver support and management app.
They’re likely the only middle school students in the country that are presenting...
I convened community members, advocates, and elected leaders in DC to express our strong opposition to any wall or interference in Big Bend.
More on our efforts, including restrictions in government funding legislation, covered by Spectrum Austin.
[2/2] ...a lifetime is not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found.”
[1/2] Indifferent to the destruction he has caused to innocent Iranians, Trump threatens genocide while Pope Leo sends an important reminder of the devastating consequences of this reckless war:
“The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet often...
[2/2] To fund his War Department, Trump fails to recognize that research is a national security issue. Not only can we afford it, we cannot afford to be without it.
My questioning of OMB Director and Project 2025 author Russell Vought on Trump’s dangerous budget proposal:
[1/2] After cutting NIH spending and disrupting 383 clinical trials involving 74k Americans last year, Trump is again trying to cut additional billions from research. The U.S. is losing new treatments and cures as we have already fallen behind China in research investments.

Trump's allowed more fraudsters to walk free than any president in history.
That is not someone who's tough on fraud.
@doggett.house.gov:
There’s no need for Trump’s border wall in an area where nature already built a wall, but taxpayers deserve full transparency and area residents deserve a say in what happens to Big Bend.
More of my comments with KXAN.
