I talked to and have casework for many, but my office and I are continuing to try and get more information. You may not hear updates as this involves quite a bit of the detainees’ private information, but the work continues on our end!
What we choose to fund through the government is a statement of our priorities.
The Republicans refusing to extend healthcare tax cuts (that'll cause premiums for Americans to SKYROCKET) are the same ones who voted to give the ultra rich tax cuts...
This #NationalPublicLandsDay, we celebrate the beauty of our public lands, including Castner Range National Monument.
For 50 years, our community fought to preserve El Paso's outdoor spaces and make #Castner4ever a reality!
Trump and Republicans so badly want to kick you off your healthcare or make your premiums skyrocket, they’re willing to fire thousands of dedicated federal employees to prove a point.
Republicans control the government. A shutdown will be on them.
Once again, my staff and I are being unlawfully stonewalled by ICE.
I sent a letter to DHS and ICE documenting the latest attempts from the Trump administration to prevent congressional oversight of Camp East Montana 👇🏽

43,424 people in Texas’ 16th Congressional District will lose health coverage because of Republican cuts to Medicaid (also known in Texas as STAR+PLUS) due to provisions in Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill” and Republican plans to gut the Affordable Care Act.
- For a family of four earning $64,000 a year, annual premiums will increase by $2,571 or 263%.
- For a family of four earning $129,800 a year, annual premiums will increase by $9,073 or 86%.
92,000 people in Texas’ 16th Congressional District will see their health care costs increase if Republicans let critical tax credits expire.
- For a 60-year-old couple earning, $82,800 a year, annual premiums will increase by $17,290 or 265%.
Republicans made over $500 billion in cuts to Medicare as a result of Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
The average increase in health care costs for approximately 22 million Americans receiving health care tax credits is $700 annually.
Republicans made nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid as a result of Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
Below is a summary the committee’s findings:
Overall, 15 million Americans will lose their health insurance due to provisions in Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill” and Republican plans to gut the Affordable Care Act.
We are fighting for you, and we’ve told our colleagues they need to stop the cuts to healthcare funding that hurt the American people and work with us in a bipartisan manner to lower costs.
Although we are in the minority, Democrats have offered a proposal to prevent this catastrophic increase, but Republicans and the president himself have walked away from the negotiating table.
The tax credits that help Americans pay for Affordable Care Act coverage will go away at the end of the year, and this means millions of Americans won’t be able to afford their healthcare anymore.
It’s getting more challenging for El Pasoans to pay for things from food to utilities, and as prices for goods keep going up, I’m very concerned about the cost of healthcare which is about to skyrocket unless Congress acts.
Donald Trump and Republicans swore to the American people that they would lower costs yet have made life more expensive and difficult for hard-working Americans.
Over the past nine months, they’ve repeatedly broken their promise and appear eager to do so again.
🚨 This week, the House Committee on the Budget published data on how the Republican refusal to address the soon-to-be ending healthcare tax credits will affect the country.

As Americans struggle with rising costs and inflation, cuts to healthcare and nutrition programs and a slowing economy, Trump’s sending $20 billion to Argentina.
How does this help Americans?
