Texas Congressman. Democrat. Born, raised and represent San Antonio.

Intelligence Committee (HPSCI) + Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC).
Trump is illegally striking ships in the Caribbean to "go after cartels" only to pardon drug king pins.

It's complete hypocrisy, it's recklessness, and it's lawlessness.

Americans DO NOT want to go to war with Venezuela.

There are far more effective ways to stop drugs from entering the country than blowing up boats.

And after pardoning a notorious drug kingpin, how can anyone believe Trump is serious about stopping drug trafficking?

Castro’s Cuba. Maduro’s Venezuela. Trump’s America.

Here’s one big thing they all have in common.

The Trump Admin’s unprecedented secrecy and hostility toward Congress is hurting our country.

Last week, in my @houseforeign.bsky.social hearing, a Republican Admin refused to send a witness for their Republican chair.

Trump is leaving his own party in Congress—and all Americans—out to dry.

Gov. Abbott and Trump’s illegal redistricting plot backfired. It set off a national movement to level the playing field. And yesterday, the courts struck down their illegal maps.

But this should have never happened. Americans deserve fair and equal representation.

Today, the House passed legislation that takes us one step closer to releasing the Epstein files.

This is not about political gains. This is about the truth.

Republicans have been MIA for 6 weeks, refusing to extend healthcare subsidies. Now countless Texans won't be able to pay for skyrocketing premiums.

I’ll keep fighting because affordable healthcare is a worthy cause.

Republicans refuse to lower healthcare costs. Older Texans that are too young for Medicare will be hit the hardest.

Theresa Hebert is one of the more than 3 million Texans who rely on healthcare subsidies. Without ACA tax credits, her premium will cost $1,000/month.

I was honored to present U.S. Army Specialist Alfredo Gutierrez with the Purple Heart and six other distinguished military service medals for his heroic actions during the Vietnam War. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your sacrifice and service.
