Honoring Tony Padilla, who passed away after a long battle with cancer.
I met him decades ago as a railway worker and advocate for working families, and he more recently continued his advocacy through the Texas Alliance for Retired Americans.
My sincere condolences to his family and many friends.

Trump promised he was on your side. He lied.
His new attack on patriotic American civil servants and attempt to repeal their federal workers' rights is an affront to decades of hard-fought progress.
A disgusting eugenics conference on race science about how some are superior to others is underway nearby at UT.
Trump is certainly making racism great again.
Americans are fighting back against Trump cuts to Social Security phone services. A modest victory delaying this terrible policy and providing some exception for disabled individuals.
We need more neighbors demanding Republicans stop meddling with this hard-earned benefit.
Elon Musk can’t handle the judicial system doing its job and blocking him and Trump from unlawfully wreaking havoc on our country.
So, what does he do? Throw money at any complicit Republican ready to undermine our system of checks and balances.
More Americans will die from both current & future disease outbreaks because Trump and his appointees are dismantling our public health defenses through egregious funding cuts and the abrupt firing of thousands of health workers as well as the termination of lifesaving research at UT and elsewhere.
All of us are endangered by alarming Trump interference in important UT research & elsewhere. After his groundbreaking COVID vaccine success, Dr. Jason McLellan’s funding to develop meds for multiple viruses is being cut.
Taking “a break” from infectious disease research means more people die.
Fiscally irresponsible Republicans insisted on government funding limp from one short-term resolution to another rather than approving annual appropriations.
As a result, our City and others will miss out on millions I fought to secure for domestic violence survivors and more.
Sudden loss of strong voice in struggle for justice and opportunity in Texas. Good humor, good values, good messaging. Valued friend for decades, DC neighbor & later a constituent, who always made us “Believe in Martindale.”
Photo from 150th; Martindale is now 160 but w/out its biggest advocate.
COVID-19 killed more than 1.2 million Americans & nearly 20 million suffer from Long COVID.
After promoting dangerous conspiracy theories like horse dewormers and bleach as treatments, the new Trump response is to cut vital research funding used to find evidence-based treatments, vaccines & cures.
Trump's April 2 “Liberation Day” is when he liberates many dollars from your wallet.
In the spirit of April Fool’s Day, Trump is imposing massive new tariff taxes, raising prices, and claiming it’s good for you while the GOP continues ignoring the reality of his wrongs.
This massively dumb security breach, which imperiled the lives of our military, follows the normal Trump approach:
Step 1: Blunder/Fail
Step 2: Lie and never apologize
Step 3: Blame the press
Step 4: Rely on GOP silence
Step 5: Distract and assume you can change the subject
I support the military officers and veterans calling my office demanding Pete Hegseth and Mike Waltz be fired for placing troops in harm's way. By texting classified information ahead of US military strikes, Trump and his incompetent "national security" team showed they are wildly unfit for the job.
While we always strive to do better, truthfully, for decades, Social Security has been efficiently delivering the hard-earned benefits for which workers pay every month. 2/2
We’re all for stopping fraud, which is why Social Security is already one of the most heavily monitored federal programs with a near 100% accurate payment record.
Trump, Musk & Republicans appear to live in a fact-free alternate reality. There is a difference between Truth Social and truth. 1/2
Trump and the GOP aren't done destroying our National Parks with disastrous cuts.
Forced to eliminate even more of its workforce, families will head into a busy spring/summer period with fewer park rangers to keep them safe and fewer janitors to maintain a clean, healthy environment.
Erdogan continues his campaign of oppression in Turkey by arresting his biggest political threat, Istanbul’s Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu.
Erdogan is just another tyrant, befriended by Trump, who is muzzling the opposition on bogus charges in order to desperately cling to power.
Incredible incompetence represents a growing threat to our safety. Like Trump firing those maintaining nuclear weapons safety, his “national security” team disclosing vital security information shows how little security Trump is providing.
Perhaps Fox News shouldn’t be Trump’s top job recruiter.
As Dr. King declared, “We adopt the means of nonviolence because our end is a community at peace with itself.”
Let’s continue to raise our voices forcefully in nonviolent protest against the Musk/Trump Admin. There are better ways to urge more Americans to push back on the descent to fascism. (2/2)
While rejecting Trump’s complaint that violence against Elon is worse than the felons he pardoned for the deadly Jan 6 attack, I strongly condemn violence/vandalism in Austin or elsewhere against Musk. This only distracts from the real harm DOGE is inflicting and the efficiency it fails to achieve.
