ICE has evaded transparency and accountability for too long. I’m grateful for @SeanTeareHCDAO’s work in ensuring their thug tactics don’t go unchecked.
This is the first federal agent to be charged in Texas over an alleged assault related to ICE's ramped up enforcement efforts during the Trump administration. bit.ly/4A0ss9p

The @TejanoDemocrats Roast and Toast is always a must-watch. I’m just glad @MarioforHouston was the target this year instead of me.

Lorenzo Salgado never got the chance to cast a vote of his own. This year, I cast mine for him. Early voting ends tomorrow. Tuesday is Election Day. Let’s send a message.

Two Senate District 6 powerhouses face off tonight. I’ve got friends on both sides, so I’ll just say I’m looking forward to seeing both @KingHSPanthers and @SC_BulldogFB in the playoffs.
C.E. King just took down North Shore. Can Summer Creek slow down the Panthers? 👀🏈 Fresh off a statement win, No. 4 C.E. King faces No. 17 Summer Creek in another HUGE District 23-6A showdown! Check out the preview for this week's RISING Game of the Week, presented by @DICKS👇 🔗 bit.ly/4BuWUtJ

Y’all are breaking every turnout record in the book. @LaCongresista, @RepMorales145 and I threw an old school poll pachanga to show our appreciation. I think it’s exactly what Dolores would’ve wanted. Thanks to @letitiaplummer, @RepCWJ and @Jon_RosenthalTX for supporting!

At today’s event we’ll be honoring Dolores Huerta with an ofrenda. Please bring your tributes to add to it.
It’s first and goal for Texas Democrats. Join @LaCongresista, @RepMorales145 & me tomorrow to finish strong!

Dolores Huerta, 1966: The workers are on the rise. There will be strikes all over the state and throughout the country, because the workers have shown that they are no longer alone. On behalf of the National Farm Workers Association, we unconditionally demand that the governor call a special session to enact a collective bargaining law for the farm workers of California. We will be satisfied with nothing less. If the rules to settle our economic problems are not forthcoming, we will call on a general strike. The social and economic revolution of the farm workers is well underway, and it will not be stopped until we receive equality.

Dolores Huerta was a pioneer and one of the most influential leaders of our time. For over 70 years she dedicated her life to our community, created and supported multiple great organizations, was honored with many awards, and changed many lives. I had met her before I started to get involved in community work long ago, and recently had the great honor of reconnecting with her to catch up. She impacted my life and so many others, we will miss you Dolores 💔 We will never forget all you have done, and we will see your work continue! God Bless the Huerta family. REST IN POWER 🕊

Very sad to hear the news this morning. She always enjoyed coming to Texas and I’m grateful for the many times I got to be with her. Dolores inspired me and so many others to take up a cause and fight for justice. Let's power through the next 6 days in her honor.
Dolores Huerta, who founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez, changing laws and the lives of thousands of laborers, died on Wednesday at 96. A skilled organizer, she coordinated walkouts and negotiated pathbreaking contracts with agribusiness. nyti.ms/4zZMDUY

Trump's ICE isn't upholding the law. It's tearing communities apart, from Lorenzo Salgado’s killing to working families who can't put food on the table. I stand with @SEIUTX, future Speaker @hakeemjeffries, @LaCongresista & @CDMenefee to end it when we retake the House.
