Trump and Abbott just rammed through maps designed to kick people like me out of office.
They don't want me in Congress because they don't want us to be heard.
But we're not going anywhere.
Today I'm launching my campaign for reelection in the city I love. #TX37
El Paso showed up. Houston showed up. Now it's every Texan's turn.
Working people can transform this state, but only if we vote.
Go vote today!
All across Texas, voters are smashing early voting records.
Get out there and vote — just like these hundreds of students at the University of Houston who marched to the polls!
We’re live in Houston!👇🏽
Texas can make the difference as to whether the Senate remains a Republican rubber-stamp for Trump or whether we finally hold him accountable.
Together, we must do everything we can to stop the most dangerous president in history. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1RKZzBdjp…
Elon Musk has spent at least $300 million trying to buy seats for Republicans this election. He's bankrolling Ken Paxton.
When Musk was running DOGE, we fought back and got him fired from the federal government.
In a few days, we're gonna fire his puppet politicians.
Bernie Sanders, Beto O'Rourke, Christian Menefee, Vikki Goodwin, and I are in Houston today at Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church.
Early voting is open — so cast your ballot, then join us!
Doors open at 1PM and the program starts at 3PM. RSVP now: act.berniesanders.com/signup…
Over a thousand friends in El Paso joined @BernieSanders and I on the first day of early voting.
To the ultra-rich: Texas isn’t having it anymore. Change is coming.
Go vote!
We’re live in El Paso! 👇🏽
Over the past 2 years, Texans have watched in horror as Trump's domestic army, ICE, destroyed millions of Americans' lives. Enough!
We must hold Republicans accountable for their disastrous policies. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1nJOLQyqP…
Bernie Sanders, Beto O’Rourke, Veronica Escobar, and I are in El Paso tonight at the Abraham Chavez Theatre.
Early voting starts today — so cast your ballot, then join us!
Doors open at 4PM and the program starts at 6PM. RSVP now: act.berniesanders.com/signup…
This so-called Democratic strategist would rather lose to Trump than win with progressives.
I’d rather win, and fight like hell for working people.
James Carville says he'd rather have Republicans keep control of the House than Democrats winning the chamber by 5 seats.
"I would rather the Republicans keep the House by five than the Democrats win by five, because if that happens, they’re hostage to the DSA. Like, Hakeem cannot move. There’s no place for him to go."
Texas, it's go time!
Early voting starts tomorrow. @BernieSanders and I will see you in El Paso on Monday and Houston on Tuesday — alongside @BetoORourke, @VGEscobar, @CDMenefee, and thousands of our fellow Texans!

Bernie, Beto and I are coming to El Paso and Houston as early voting starts Monday.
Billionaires think they can buy Texas. What they can’t buy is millions of Texans showing up to vote.

If we want to end billionaire control of our government, stop Trump’s illegal war in Iran, lower gas prices and guarantee healthcare as a human right, we must end Republican control of Congress.
Join me in Texas next week for get-out-the-vote rallies across the state.
This is what Democrats leading on AI looks like. Thank you, @AbdulElSayed!

I’m honored to have the endorsement of the Austin American @Statesman for my third term in Congress.
Working people deserve a government that works for them, and I’ll keep fighting every day to make life here safer and more affordable.

A company as rich as Starbucks can afford to treat their workers with respect.
Thank you for standing alongside workers and pledging to BOYCOTT STARBUCKS, @gregcasar !
The CEO of Starbucks makes 1,700 times what the baristas make. He commutes by private jet.
In other words, Starbucks can afford a fair contract.
I'm boycotting Starbucks until they sign one. No contract, no coffee.
JD Vance is bought and paid for by AI billionaires.
That's one reason we're going to beat him in 2026 and 2028.
Looking forward to talking with PA Dems about it tonight.

Selena Xie spent more than a decade running into other people's worst days as a paramedic, EMS commander, and union president — Winter Storm Uri, COVID, all of it. District 8 will benefit from her passion and grit.
I'm proud to endorse @SelenaforAustin.
