Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain.
We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.
Today in 1979, Houston’s first official Gay Pride Parade rolls down Lower Westheimer with banners declaring “United We Stand.” In follow years, the Pride Parade would grow to include floats and marching bands, reschedule to night-time, and become the signature Montrose party.
The first paragraph of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s concurrence is a devastating takedown of Justice Thomas’s heinous opinion:
“The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.”
Texas is officially the first state in the nation to mandate Bible study. I don't know who needs to hear this, but red states are closer to Sharia law than Zohran Mamdani's New York City.

On June 26 in 2003, 2013, and 2015, the Supreme Court handed down landmark rulings that protect the rights of LGBTQI+ Americans. As we celebrate these anniversaries on #EqualityDay, we must also keep fighting to ensure that all Americans are equal under the law.
We have no guarantee we'll be happy, we just hope that we will. We hope we'll overcome whatever problems confront us and if we lose hope we despair. Happiness corresponds with peace of mind and a key to that is warm-heartedness. Developing compassion brings courage and self-confidence; warm-heartedness and intelligence bring peace of mind.
The only thing that will bring happiness is affection and warmheartedness. This really brings inner strength and self-confidence, reduces fear, develops trust, and trust brings friendship. We are social animals, and cooperation is necessary for our survival, but cooperation is entirely based on trust. When there is trust, people are brought together—whole nations are brought together. When you have a more compassionate mind and cultivate warmheartedness, the whole atmosphere around you becomes more positive and friendlier.

Did you know? In 2022, DACA recipients, Dreamers, contributed nearly $2.1 billion to Social Security and Medicare. Dreamers are part of the fabric of our society, in #TX07 and across the country. And that's why I have again sponsored the Dream and Promise Act.
Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did, and he just completely ignored them?
The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice
And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr dredging up the same nonsense
Such a tiresome waste of time
