Trump is trying to rig elections.
He just fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, an independent bipartisan agency that helps states administer secure and fair elections.

Trump doing this just before the midterms should raise alarm bells for all Americans

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

President Trump dismantled a bipartisan elections board ahead of a midterm that will determine which party controls Congress.

The commission is responsible for maintaining the federal voter registration form and certifying electronic voting equipment. https://t.co/u7G7f7QhFm

Marie Antoinette over here said the quiet part out loud….@RepTroyNehls is saying exactly what his party thinks about working families

PabloReports: How do House Republicans make the case that you're fighting for affordability when you go back to your districts?

Nehls: Affordability? What are you talking about? I'm gonna go there tomorrow. I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails. I'm gonna get me some nice rib eyes.

Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford lobster tails and rib eyes and all of that?

Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe the 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do.

It’s plain and simple: if you were born here, you’re an American.

I’m glad to see the Supreme Court strike down Trump’s unconstitutional executive order on birthright, though it’s troubling that this was ever in question.

The Supreme Court was right to block President Trump's unconstitutional executive order restricting mail-in voting. The order would have prevented countless eligible voters from casting ballots.
This ruling sends a clear message: the President cannot unilaterally rewrite our election laws in his favor.

The war has cost American households $100 billion, an average of $750 per household, since the start of Trump's conflict. To make matters worse, Congressional Republicans are handing $70 billion to ICE and CBP. Instead of doing their jobs and lowering the cost of gas, groceries, and healthcare for hardworking Americans, Congressional Republicans are using your tax dollars to fund the blank checks they're sending to Donald Trump.

Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom is worth celebrating.

Today, we honor the courage, resilience, and achievements of those who paved the way toward a more just and equitable America. We also recognize Ms. Opal, a dear friend and partner in the fight for justice, whose advocacy and leadership continue to inspire us.

Happy Juneteenth. 🇺🇸 #TX33

I joined my Texas colleagues in urging the VA to reverse harmful home care cuts impacting rural disabled veterans.
Our veterans earned these benefits, and they deserve access to the care they need to live safely and independently. We must keep our promise to those who sacrificed and served our nation.

Congrats Pres Trump: sounds like the JCPOA w/o the inspectors & cameras😂. Ain’t feeling good abt your new, “trust, don’t verify” doctrine w/the Iranian theocracy!

I was honored to join the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.'s State of Women in Texas Forum at home in Houston last week to recognize the chapters who organized the forum and their ongoing work.

For more than 100 years, AKAs in #TX07 and across the country have worked to strengthen connections and promote collaboration in our communities, and this forum was a demonstration of this meaningful and important work.

My heart goes out to the victims of today’s shooting in Midland and to every family waiting for word on their loved ones.

As our nation leads the AI race, it is our responsibility to invest in the workers building the infrastructure that powers it. The future of AI is built by investing in our nation’s talented workforce.

On June 4, 1919, Congress passed the 19th Amendment, a historic step in expanding voting rights in the nation.

Today, we recognize this day and the generations of advocates who worked to broaden civic participation and strengthen our democracy. Such efforts continue to inspire Americans to make our voices heard through public service and continuing conversations in the community.

Exactly! These coaches don’t care about these, “kids”, as much as they proclaim. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Thank you sir! Your strong stand is appreciated here in Washington, DC at the US Capitol! 🇺🇸💪🏾❤️

This is an outrage and a clear violation of the Civil Rights Act. This is deeply racist and sexist — not shocking, considering the kind of man he is and the man who hired him. Hegseth should be prosecuted and removed from office immediately before more lives are lost or ruined by his criminality, prejudice, and incompetence.

My heart is with the individuals, families, and community of Oak Cliff affected by the El Ricardo apartment explosion earlier today.

Officials have set up a family reunification center at W.H Adamson High School for those searching for loved ones or seeking updates as emergency crews continue their primary search of the damaged building.

Please reach out to our office for additional information or help.

Good? & easy answer:less resources&influence for Black communities. I was mid-decade redistricted in TX. I secured funds to reopen a recreational center in Ft Worth. The Republican that will replace me, doesn’t believe in that. So, no more💰4 those kinda projects. Could go on&on.
