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!

-Fully opening the Strait of Hormuz immediately
-U.S. to lift naval blockade within 30 days

-The U.S. will suspend current sanctions, allowing Iranian oil to be openly sold
-$25 billion in Iranian assets to be unfrozen, including direct cash transfers
-Formation of an economic development and reconstruction plan
-Iran agrees it will neither produce nor acquire nuclear weapons

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.

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.

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.

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.
I’m begging someone to tell me what power black people are losing. How does lost Democratic Party power equate to lost black American power?

Professors aren’t bringing in billions in television revenue. Student athletes and conscientious fans (television viewers and merch buyers) will make this work. Or, they will keep getting away w/blatant racism.
"The idea that the onus is only on black athletes to protest...I wonder why we're not calling on all student athletes to boycott...just the identification of just black students to deal w/ the issue seems inherently wrong to me." Me & @LZGranderson on calls for an @SEC #boycott

Will never forget seeing that on the news.
Fun fact: fraternity row at Ole Miss wasn’t integrated until 1988, 10 years before I graduated high school. Let’s talk about how, when the Sigmas were set to be the first of the D9 to move on to fraternity row, their house mysteriously caught fire. This isn’t the history lesson yall wanna go down…….

Section 5–gone…Section 2 — weakened…protections are being dismantled, leaving Black and brown voters more vulnerable.
You can’t separate race from politics, especially in the South and Texas!
