Everything is bigger in Texas and thanks to Trump, so are gas and diesel prices. Gas prices are up from last year and diesel prices jumped to nearly $6 a gallon in Houston, the energy capital of the world. Trump promised to lower prices on Day One. Instead, on Day 158, Americans are still paying more at the pump. This is unacceptable for working Americans, who feel the pain every time they fill up the tank.
@RepMonicaDLC 217 Members of Congress already put their constituents first and signed the discharge petition, what are you waiting for? https://t.co/cw3zjGd2Vr
Thanks to The Luke Church for holding its Candidate Forum last night! Everyone is fired up and ready to start voting next Monday! https://t.co/gBXE1XmSsI
Seniors will get about $75 more a month in Social Security next year to keep up with inflation. Meanwhile, Trump's tariffs are costing families more than $1,000 a year, and his war in Iran is driving prices even higher. Our seniors worked their whole lives to earn a dignified retirement. They deserve lower costs, not another bill they can't afford.
The numbers don’t lie. Americans have been feeling this pain at the gas pump, at the grocery store checkout, and when they pay their bills. Trump’s “golden era” economy is only working for the rich, not everyday working Americans who are struggling to make ends meet.
While Republicans plaster the airwaves with lies and distractions, here's the reality: they don't care about Texans. They could have spent their time in power expanding Medicaid, funding rural healthcare infrastructure and bringing down prices. Instead, they made us sicker. https://t.co/LeK15836V0
This morning I met with the @USCIS Houston Field Office to discuss policy changes and find ways to strengthen our relationship. Through open communication and collaboration, we can build stronger partnerships to better serve the needs of TX-29. https://t.co/9kgfoWc1YD
This afternoon I met with the @USCIS Houston Field Office to discuss community outreach and ways to strengthen our relationship. Through open communication and collaboration, we can build stronger partnerships to better serve the needs of TX-29. https://t.co/2l37PUr8Hn
This morning, I attended the Humanities Texas Outstanding Teaching Award Presentation to celebrate TX-29’s own Nikolai Burgardt, who is being recognized with an Award for Outstanding Early-Career Teaching. Our educators play a vital role in shaping the future of our communities. I will continue to support and honor our teachers at every opportunity. Congratulations to Mr. Burgardt on this well-deserved recognition! @HoustonISD
I had a productive meeting with CRECEN Houston to hear directly from TPS holders about the challenges impacting our immigrant community in TX-29. I will continue fighting to bring my American Dream and Promise Act discharge petition to the House floor and provide protections for TPS and DED holders, as well as DACA recipients. Immigrants are an essential part of what makes TX-29 rich in culture and opportunity. We cannot turn our backs on our neighbors or family.
I'm keeping Pope Leo in my prayers and wishing him a speedy recovery.
Since Ken Paxton refuses to debate @jamestalarico despite repeated requests, let's gather Wednesday night to watch James' Town Hall! Food will be provided. Bring a friend, a neighbor or a family member and join us! https://t.co/VeaFsUKfv8
Had a wonderful time at the San Jacinto College Police Department’s National Night Out! From connecting with families and sharing community resources to enjoying face painting and fun activities, it was a great evening bringing TX-29 together. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event special!
The raid orchestrated by the Trump Administration is an abhorrent abuse of power. No president should ever use the power of the federal government to threaten, silence, or intimidate political opponents, ever. Federal agencies exist to serve the American people, not to be weaponized against those who speak out and challenge the administration. ICE continues to operate in our communities with little to no accountability. We cannot let more agencies follow suit or normalize this use of power to silence people. This administration must be held accountable. The American people deserve answers and transparency.
On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the rich history, traditions, and contributions of Native communities here in Texas and across the country. Indigenous Peoples have lived and flourished in the Americas for thousands of years. Their knowledge and cultures have helped shape our nation, and their contributions deserve to be recognized and celebrated.
I visited Kingsville in South Texas yesterday to support my friend and colleague @VoteVicente, whose district, like mine, was redrawn in an attempt to give Republicans more seats in Congress. Well, it's not going to work. Democrats have the energy. See you at the polls! https://t.co/tkP8qjfHLm
I was proud to serve as a co-chair of last night's 2026 Johnson, Jackson Lee, Richards Dinner alongside my fellow Harris County members of Congress. This dinner funds the organizers, infrastructure, and the relationships that make winning possible at every level of the ballot. https://t.co/naUwxuDn2A
I have been in touch with the Sheriff and will continue to monitor the situation.
I joined @SEIUTX this morning for a GOTV event! Houston's union members are out in full force this month to speak with workers about the importance of voting this election because they know what's at stake: worker protections, fair wages, lower prices and access to healthcare. https://t.co/josCdA0peT
An ICE vehicle struck a man during an enforcement operation in Harris County this morning. He’s now in the hospital. We need to know exactly what happened, and ICE’s word alone is not enough. ICE has lied to the public before, and its operations have brought chaos to our communities. Preserve the evidence. Cooperate fully with investigators. Give the public the answers it deserves.
Houston needs a good partner in county government to lower costs, provide healthcare for those without insurance, protect wages and stop ICE from brutalizing our neighbors. I urge you to vote for @letitiaplummer for County Judge. https://t.co/brp6VrKQDi
Had a great time celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month at Commissioner Adrian Garcia’s Precinct 2 luncheon. Gracias for bringing us together! https://t.co/t84uIV3goY
