Yesterday's political violence disturbs me greatly. Our Constitution gives us Free Speech. I'm very encouraged,however, that our Federal Legislatures came together to denounce this violence. Let's build on those bipartisan efforts.

The Supreme Court just decided that it’s okay for ICE to profile people for the way they look or the language they speak.
Arizona has been here before and we remember the damage it caused in our communities. This is unacceptable.

I totally support @repcasar.bsky.social bill to reverse cuts to Texas's FEMA funding. The tragic flooding in the Central Texas Hill Country is only one example of how vital these federal monies are! 27 children and counselors were killed in this flooding.

The Statesman is right. Texans are desperate for real disaster relief and can't afford a weaker FEMA.
But earlier this year, Trump recklessly slashed FEMA's funding.
Congress needs to pass my bill to reverse Trump's cuts and restore crucial resources.

Cutting free black lung screenings could raise death totals
"I don't think it's hyperbole to say that eviscerating NIOSH, as they have, will cause people to die.”
Trump said he’d fight for workers. He lied.
He's slashing safety programs. And working people — from a state he won by 40% — are paying the price.

Trump's behavior is described - not in any 'good book', but in Machiavelli's "The Prince." Ruthlessness for self-serving POWER. Stamping down on even the slightest criticism.
