As a former educator, I know that behind every successful student is a teacher who believed in them first. Those educators, whose tireless work makes learning meaningful every single day, deserve our deepest gratitude. Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day!

Star Wars is one of the most anti-authoritarian series ever created. Donald Trump as the Emperor…now THAT would be accurate.

The CDC is blocking a report that shows COVID vaccines reduced emergency department visits and hospitalizations among healthy adults by about half this past winter. Why? Officials say it's because the vaccine’s benefits conflict with RFK Jr.'s views. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits

The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

Republicans always have more money for war, but never enough to feed hungry Americans.

El Paso: make your voices heard about the Fort Bliss Data Center this Wednesday at 6:30pm at the Wyndham El Paso Airport Hotel Conference Center!

Acting ICE Director Lyons has committed to speaking with our community and listening to our serious objections about the warehouses in Socorro. I look forward to seeing that happen.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialApr 16(source)

I can’t be clearer: we do not want ICE to continue with their plans to hold 8,500 migrant detainees in warehouses in our community.

I don’t buy it when the Trump administration says they’re defunding the IRS because it’s too intrusive to the average American. It’s because they’re protecting billionaires from paying their fair share.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialApr 15(source)

The Trump administration has severely reduced funding for the IRS. But if the IRS has a return on investment for our country and helps us fight tax fraud, why would they slash its funding? Because it’s all part of Project 2025.

“It’s rife with fraud when you do it, but safe and secure when I do it.”

This vote didn’t include any funding for ICE OR CBP…

Sixteen years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law— a historic victory that allowed millions of Americans to access health care. Today, health care is under attack by Republicans. House Democrats are fighting to keep health care affordable and accessible for all Americans.

March 19th, 1966 is an iconic day in El Paso history. 60 years ago today, Texas Western (now UTEP) won the 1966 NCAA title when legendary coach Don Haskins started five Black players for the first time in tournament history. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/h...

El Paso marks 60 years since Texas Western’s historic 1966 NCAA title

Texas Western College, now UTEP, made history 60 years ago by winning the NCAA basketball championship with five Black starters.

We will continue to uplift farmworkers and their families, and celebrate their fight for justice and fairness. Chavez’s name should be removed from all our public landmarks and buildings, and I am eager to work with the community on next steps.

The credible allegations against Cesar Chavez for rape and sexual abuse are horrific. My heart is with the survivors who, for decades, have seen their abuser lauded as a hero. As one of them says: “The movement — that’s the hero.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u...
