Spent a wonderful evening with the Black El Paso Democrats last night. It was an honor to join them as they recognized the hard work of many members of our community. #elpaso

They hope you're not paying attention. If you're watching, give this a repost.

He's been president for one month today. He promised to lower prices on "Day One". It's Day 30. Inflation has reached a 6-month high.

At least we have the “Gulf of America” to soothe our wallets.

Here’s what Democrats did today (February 6): —Senate Democrats held the floor for 30 hours straight speaking out against Trump’s OMB nominee Russ Vought —House Democrats introduced the Taxpayer Data Protection Act to permanently protect the American people’s data from Elon Musk and Trump

House Democrats are working around the clock to keep your data safe from attacks by DOGE and Elon Musk.

What can you do? Part 1:

Why does Trump want to lift the debt ceiling now? He borrowed $2.3 trillion to pay for his tax cuts for billionaires and wealthy corporations in 2017. He and Musk and congressional republicans are coming back for more and their first step in their scam is lifting the debt ceiling now. Hell no!

“The studies also offer hints of the cost that Texans could pay if the incoming Trump administration follows through on its promise to conduct mass deportations of undocumented immigrants across the country.” www.texastribune.org/2024/12/06/t...

“U.S. Representative John Duarte, a Republican and fourth-generation farmer in California's Central Valley, said farms in the area depend on immigrants in the U.S. illegally and that small towns would collapse if those workers were deported.” www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

We can never honestly assert the principle that no one is above the law.

Not only has there not been any major spike in border crossings, there's also no sign of any immediate rise in people traveling north to get here. In Honduras, migrant arrest numbers are on track for a 29% drop from October.

The DOGE thing is bullshit.

Trump won’t just use the military, he also intends on using local law enforcement for mass deportations. This degrades both and obviously makes America less safe. And it’ll only be a matter of time before legal residents and U.S. citizens get caught up in the deportations (deliberately or not).

Our adversaries have hit the jackpot.

In the last few months I talked to a whole lot of voters throughout the battlegrounds. I’m still processing all those conversations, but this I know for sure: truth no longer binds us together. There are spaces where disinformation flourishes and we need to be in those spaces fighting for truth.
