Wisconsin voters just dealt a blow to Trump and Elon Musk—who poured millions into the race for a Republican. They protected the state’s 4-3 progressive Supreme Court majority! The fight is in the courts, in Congress, and at the ballot box—for our rights, jobs, and healthcare.

NEW: @cdmenefee.bsky.social threatens legal action against Gov. Greg Abbott if he continues to stall calling an election to fill the open #TX18 seat. "Your silence is suppression. Your doing nothing is disenfranchising our community.” www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/hou... @houstonchronicle.com

Yesterday, I attended the MacGregor Park Renovation Community Meeting where residents got to see what the $57.5 million investment into the park will look like. This is the type of investment Third Ward residents deserve—investments that deliver tangible results.

Trump and Musk’s DOGE experiment has led to chaos—and now seniors are paying the price. Social Security offices closed, phones unanswered, retirees stuck on hold. 70M Americans earned these benefits and deserve better. apple.news/AW0DqitwQRgG...

Saddened by the passing of boxing legend and Fifth Ward native George Foreman. His journey from Houston's streets to global acclaim embodies resilience and inspiration. Beyond the ring, his entrepreneurial spirit and community impact left a lasting mark. Rest in peace, champ.

Honored to have the support of so many leaders who represent folks both in the 18th congressional district and across Texas. This momentum is clear—voters want a fresh, fearless advocate fighting for working families in Washington. Let’s get to work! Join the team ➡️ christianmenefee.com

Last night I talked with @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com about what folks want to see from Democrats in this moment - and how Texas is ready to fight. Texas Democrats are fighters. I’m ready to get to work fighting for the real issues that matter most to everyday people.

@cdmenefee.bsky.social: “I thought what Congressman Al Green did was incredibly Texas, because Texas Democrats know how to fight… What Congressman Green did was stand up and call out what is not right. And that's exactly what we need in DC.”

I was excited to talk with @nytimes.com about why the fight in Washington matters for our communities. Proud to have Former Congresswoman Erica Lee Carter as my campaign chair. As she said “I know his values, I know how much he cares." t.co/6Q7xkAhbKC

I spoke with @cdmenefee.bsky.social about his bid for Congress, what it means to have the support of @repericaleecarter.bsky.social & what his plans are for the residents of Texas' 18th Congressional District. @chron.com www.chron.com/politics/art...

This is our fight, and I’m ready to lead it. I’m running for Congress in Texas’s 18th District to stand up to MAGA Republicans, corporate polluters, and the Trump-Musk administration. Join our movement! ➡️ christianmenefee.com #TX18

Yesterday, we joined the legal fight against the Trump administration’s illegal mass firings of federal workers. Today, a judge agreed and thousands of public servants must be reinstated. The rule of law matters –– even when extremists in power try to ignore it.

President Musk is moving to mass fire probationary workers – gutting agencies that Americans rely on.  I’m joining the national legal fight to stop it. This reckless move threatens public safety, disaster response, and essential services. Musk & Trump must be stopped.

Yesterday, our office had the privilege of speaking with Harris County residents to talk about the importance of planning ahead and building generational wealth.  Thoughtful estate planning ensures your wishes are honored and protects your legacy for the next generation.

Donald Trump is playing politics with cancer research. The Texas Medical Center saves lives—I’m fighting to keep it that way. Count me in.

Trump’s admin is working to clawback $20 BILLION in clean energy grants to cover billionaire tax cuts. That’s billions stolen from our communities––killing jobs, raising energy bills, and stalling innovation. They’d rather pad the rich than power our future. www.reuters.com/business/env...

I'm joining the legal fight against President Trump. @adriangarciahtx.bsky.social and I are challenging Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship. The Constitution is clear: If you’re born in the U.S., you’re a citizen. Full stop. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

This is no way to run a government. Playing politics with funding that communities rely on is reckless and irresponsible. We all deserve better.

BREAKING: Trump is freezing trillions in federal funds approved by Congress, putting Harris County's essential services at risk. As Harris County Attorney, I won't let this go unchecked. My office is exploring legal options to protect our residents from his unlawful overreach.

Houston - join Representative Sylvia Garcia on Wednesday for a Know Your Rights Town Hall! Join this important conversation to stay informed on your constitutional rights and help keep your community safe.

I spoke with @washingtonpost.com about what Trump’s move to end birthright citizenship could look like here in Texas. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Just a couple of days into office, Trump dismantled federal programs that protected Black and Latino neighborhoods from illegal pollution. These programs fought back against plants and refineries coming to our communities and leaving us with higher rates of cancer, asthma, and other health issues.

The Justice Department should be upholding justice, not abandoning it. It’s clear fighting discrimination isn’t a priority for President Trump. Ignoring civil rights abuses won’t make them go away. This is another major step in the wrong direction.

BREAKING: Trump just abolished the EPA's environmental justice team, firing staff tasked with protecting vulnerable communities. As someone who works closely with the EPA, I'm appalled. And as a father, I'm furious about what this means for our kids’ future. Here's why ⤵️

There are warming centers available during this winter storm. Locations, hours, and more info here: www.readyharris.org/Newsroom/Rea...

Creating chaos and calling it a win is Trump’s favorite game.

Earlier this week, my office filed a lawsuit against A&L Sheds for operating a predatory scheme in our community. They have repeatedly exploited working families and stolen their hard-earned money. We will not tolerate any business that takes advantage of Harris County consumers.

Today, my office announced a second gas station is paying up after taking advantage of Texans during Hurricane Beryl. This penalty is far greater than what they made profiteering, and I hope this sends a message that we won’t tolerate this in Harris County. houstonlanding.org/houston-area...
