I’ve watched energy hearings in Texas for over 20 years. The hearing on SB 819 was unlike anything I’ve ever seen for an energy bill.

50+ Texans spoke up to oppose the bill, including this rancher from Armstrong County: "Y'all don't realize what small counties need." 1/5

Some of the $500B announced today should go to HBCUs for digitization of their historic archival collections—allowing these resources to be licensed to AI companies to make systems more equitable! Communities of color must benefit from this investment!!

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee was a tenacious advocate for justice, a tireless fighter for the people of Houston and the people of America, and a dear friend for many years.

She was relentless — one of our nation’s fiercest, smartest, and most strategic leaders in the way she thought about how to make progress happen.

Doug and I send our prayers to her husband, her children, and her beloved grandchildren.

Republicans are deeply disconnected from the people.

They're not serious about fixing our immigration system, they have no plan to improve folks' lives, and they keep wasting our time with political stunts like these.

This sham, failed impeachment is just the latest example.
