80 years ago in this Nurnberg courtroom the US brought Nazi war criminals to justice.
25 years ago American forces stopped Serbian war crimes and helped bring Slobodan Milosevic to justice at The Hague.
Today Trump is working overtime to absolve Russians from their war crimes.

This is Room 600- the famous courtroom where the Nuremberg trials began 80 years ago today.
We must never lose our moral compass and always hold war criminals to account.

On this #VeteransDay, I’m thinking of those I’ve served with over the years—including too many who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
I’m proud to be part of the community of veterans here in the U.S., & will continue to work hard to serve them & our amazing country.

Each generation faces its own unique fight for freedom in the face of autocracy.

My new run for #TX09 is about service, leadership, and results. I’ve spent my life solving complex problems under intense pressure, and Washington desperately needs more of that now.

You may have heard the news…I’ve re-launched! 🚀
When the political map changed, my mission didn’t. I’m still fighting for Texas families, small businesses, and the American dream. But this time, I’m eager to focus that service on #TX09.

The state of today’s GOP:
- Trump asking SCOTUS for the power to withhold food from poor Americans
- Keeping the government shut down to remove millions from health insurance
- Renovating White House bathrooms and ball rooms while spending the weekend in Mar a Lago

Actually, Texas cattle ranchers have been prospering because of their own hard work, not because of misguided tariffs and chaotic economic policies. Those are actually what are causing serious pain for farmers and ranchers today.
This is their "deplorables" moment.

Regan was right.
Trump‘s tariffs hurt working Texans, especially farmers, ranchers, and energy workers.
Going after Canada for their television ad is such a snowflake move.

Great No Kings event in Clear Lake, TX, today. ~1,700 great Americans there in this small suburb.
Contrary to the nonsense coming from MAGA, it was peaceful, very pro-America, and nobody was paid!
There were some scary dinosaur and frog costumes and funny signs though.

Trump loves to say "We've never seen anything like it."
In this case he's right- this is the most corrupt administration in American history.
