For Austinites, that could mean poor oversight of your child's Individualized Education Program or anti-discrimination rights. This risks more chaos and places special education in a position to be labeled as “welfare” to be cut by Republicans.

Trump's plan to dismantle the Education Department shifts special education and civil rights protections to agencies whose work have little to do with learning.
Even detaining a nun on her way to church.

More than 10,000 arrests in five days. To meet the outrageous quotas Trump & Stephen Miller demand, ICE is grabbing hard-working residents who contribute to our communities and tearing families apart.

Medicare cuts are just 6 years away unless Congress acts to protect this lifeline. One of the most effective ways is to pass my Saving MEDICARE Act to end outrageous overpayments to Medicare Advantage private insurers and deliver $2.5 trillion back to Medicare.
A little fraud, a little pollution, a little corruption— all forgiven by Trump, who’s not concerned about any of this. Our democracy is choking under Trump’s smog-filled, corrupt regime.
Trump’s forever war in the Middle East continues as another fragile ceasefire fails. The consequence: more bloodshed, more taxpayer dollars wasted, further endangerment of Americans.
[2/2] I urged creating a task force to actually review Trump’s returns and support a real audit.
[1/2] A measure adopted after Watergate to require an annual audit of the president’s tax return appears to have been ignored for Trump. Before first taking office, Trump had only one auditor assigned to untangle 400+ Trump Organization entities.
[2/2] Its mission has always been to preserve, study, and share American history through scholarship, not to serve one man’s political vanity or eagerness to erase any part of our history that doesn’t conform with his current rhetoric.

[1/2] Trump’s baseless claims are now threatening one of our national treasures. Over 180 years the Smithsonian has become one of the world’s premier museums and research institutions.

Netanyahu's extremist government continues emboldening more extremism. As Palestinians endure settler violence and dire humanitarian conditions, now harassment against Christians is on track to set a new record high. Far too many remain complicit in their silence.
Turning away families fleeing violence as they seek asylum betrays our American values and only encourages more illegal immigration as people desperate for safety will attempt dangerous border crossings. This Supreme Court decision and Trump's hate-fueled policies will only cause more harm.
[2/2] That’s the real impact of Trump/DOGE gutting the IRS. After enabling the firing tens of thousands of skilled IRS workers, House Republicans just offered a fig leaf to provide some cover for the damage they helped cause.
IRS staffing cuts:
[1/2] Longer wait times. Delayed refunds. High-end tax cheats getting away with it.
[2/2] His motives are clear again as the Trump-backed Venezuela government blocks opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado from returning to her homeland to help tens of thousands of earthquake victims.
[1/2] For Trump, it’s always been solely about the oil—not drugs, not human rights, not democracy.
Despite voting by mail himself just this year, hypocrite-in-chief Trump keeps attacking mail-in ballots. In a rare bright spot, the Supreme Court rejected his attempt to narrow mail-in voting for others.
Fearing accountability, he's trying to rewrite the rules to cling to power.
Medicare Advantage insurers have been a major disadvantage to taxpayers—overcharging tens of billions each year while often obstructing access to health care. My Saving MEDICARE Act would stop insurers from treating Medicare as a piggybank—plowing the savings into better Medicare for more Americans.
[2/2]By weakening the National Weather Service and FEMA, Trump is leaving us all less safe and less prepared for future weather disasters—disasters steadily intensified by global warming.
