Gina Hinojosa’s desperate attempt to use her official office to benefit her own campaign is just the tip of the iceberg.
She’s conspiring with the unethical judge who ruled in her favor.
Our firm filed a federal lawsuit against the Secretary of Veterans Affairs on behalf of https://t.co/CaQDJfM2re, an education and support organization for veterans pursuing disability claims before the VA.

The obituary was small. Three lines. A retired Marine, seventy-eight, no surviving family. The service would be Thursday at 11 a.m. at a small cemetery in Alabama.
The funeral director had ordered eight chairs. He was not sure who would fill them.
He posted the obituary on Facebook on Monday, because that is what the funeral home does for men with no family. It is not a request. It is a courtesy. It is meant for the neighbor who might not have known.
By Tuesday morning the post had been shared forty thousand times.
By Wednesday morning the funeral director had received seventy calls from strangers asking if they could come.
By Thursday at 10 a.m., there were two thousand three hundred cars parked along the shoulder of a county road in Alabama, and men in old uniforms that no longer fit were walking, in silence, toward the cemetery.
They came from every state.
A man in a wheelchair had driven eleven hours from Ohio in a Ford Ranger with hand controls. A woman had flown in from Alaska. Four men from a VFW in Idaho had chartered a small plane. A biker club, sixty deep, escorted the hearse the last three miles because they had decided, in a parking lot the night before, that they would.
The eulogy was given by a man who had never met him. He wept twice.
The rifle salute was performed by seven Marines, each from a different decade of service. The oldest was ninety-one.
At the end, twelve hundred people stood, and none of them left until every last one had placed a hand on the coffin.
None of them knew him.
All of them knew him.
He had, in some way none of them could name, served with each of them.
His name is now on a small plaque at the entrance to the cemetery, paid for by donations from people who arrived without knowing they would donate. The plaque says only his name, his rank, and one line.
He was not alone.
He was never alone.
Twelve hundred strangers made sure of it.
42 years ago today, I was out for a run in Houston. A tree fell on me, leaving me partially paralyzed.
My parents instilled in me the values that carried me through my darkest days: hard work, perseverance, and faith in God. Our lives are not defined by our challenges, but by how we respond to them.
Some say you need a spine of steel to lead. I actually have one. And I will never stop fighting for Texas.
We won! Texas is officially—and legally—more red.
The Supreme Court restored the congressional redistricting maps passed by Texas that add 5 more Republican seats.
The new maps better align our representation in D.C. with the values of Texas.

School choice officially PASSED the Texas House. This is a historic victory for Texas families.
I look forward to this school choice legislation reaching my desk, when I will swiftly sign it into law.
Today, I asked President Trump to protect Texas and the entire U.S. from the invasion along our southern border by exercising the full scope of his constitutional authority.
Together, we will end the border crisis.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and his lawyers appear to have forgotten to delete a section of a document they filed in federal court that a point of law "probably isn't worth arguing."
Barbara Bush's Secret Service detail, several of whom have been been with her for decades, refuse to leave her side until she is buried. Very powerful.
In NIFLA v. Becerra, J. Sotomayor did her own internet research about the websites of pregnancy centers. J. Kennedy interrupted J. Sotomayor, and interjected: "I didn't go beyond the record to look on the Internet because I don't think we should do that." #SCOTUS
@alangura At this point the donkey cart is looking pretty good against the F35. At least the cart is affordable and battle tested. Not to mention the cart can haul some serious ordinance!
