Tonight, we’re kicking off our New American Dream Tour in Arlington, TX!
From there, we’ll be traveling to 10 cities across Texas to talk about a new vision for our economy.
It’s time for a New American Dream. Join us: https://t.co/pyvy6FgKbm
.@JamesTalarico: The young people here might not remember this, but those of you who are a little older might. Not so long ago, you could afford to live a good life here in America.
You could buy a home in your 20s. You could go to college for cheap or free. You could support a whole family on one paycheck. You could afford to get married, have kids, and retire comfortably. You could fulfill your God-given potential.
We called it the American Dream.
In the middle of the 20th century, we invested in healthcare and education. We built homes and highways. We protected workers' rights and paychecks. We blocked consolidation and encouraged competition. We built the largest, strongest middle class in the history of the world.
But today that middle class has disappeared. For too many of our neighbors, the American Dream has become an American Nightmare.
We can't afford a home, but Jeff Bezos has at least a dozen. We can't afford to fill up our tank, but Mark Zuckerberg is launching helicopters from his mega-yacht. One in five Texas children live in poverty — but one of our residents became the world's first trillionaire.
The top 1% put the American Dream behind a paywall.
Celebrating Cinco de Mayo with gratitude for the vibrant culture and traditions that bring our community together.
Wishing everyone a joyful and meaningful day!
Happy Cinco De Mayo!🎉🇲🇽🇺🇸#cinodemayo#culturalheritage#hd125
From our family to yours, Happy Easter, District 125. May your day be filled with joy, renewal, and meaningful moments with loved ones.🐰☀️🤍🐣

For the first time in Texas history, this rule has been invoked to demand answers.
As Vice Chair of Homeland Security & Public Safety, I’ve requested a hearing to examine the evidence and ensure transparency.
Families deserve truth. Texas deserves accountability.
.@CBSNews: “Democratic Texas state Rep. Ray Lopez…said he formally exercised authority under Rule 4, Section 6A of the Texas House Rules to compel Committee Chairman Cole Hefner, a Republican, to schedule a hearing on Martinez's death.”

55 years of marriage, countless memories, and a lifetime of love. She has stood by me through every chapter of life as my partner, a devoted mother, and my greatest supporter. I am blessed beyond words to walk this journey beside her. Happy Anniversary❤️
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy lives on through the strength and resilience of our community. In House District 125, I’m inspired every day by neighbors who look out for one another. Today, we recommit to service, fairness, and unity. #MLKDay
On my birthday, I’m reminded of how fortunate I am to serve this community. Thank you for your support, your kindness, and your commitment to making District 125 stronger. Excited for the year ahead.✨
Even in moments of frustration, we stay focused on the work ahead, defending voting rights and ensuring our community is represented with dignity and fairness. 💪🏼#hd125#strongtexas#itsnottheend
BREAKING: The Supreme Court failed Texas voters today, and they failed American democracy.
Every Texan who testified against these maps should be angry. Every community that fought for generations to build political power and watched Republicans gerrymander it away should be angry.
Democrats will continue to fight.

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for you, the everyday Texans who keep showing up for one another.
We're wishing you a day of gratitude and relaxation. #txlege
