Like people across the country, I am saddened to learn of President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis. He has devoted so much of his life of service to fighting this devastating disease, as I know he will now. President Biden and his entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Texas lawmakers react to former President Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis

Houstonians already feel unprepared for the next big hurricane. That is why I have been speaking out against the Trump administration’s actions to cut staff and the staffing shortage at @NWSHouston.

From saying he'd accept a $400 million airplane offered by the Qatari government to saluting Saudis, President Trump is having a great time abroad. Back home, his tariffs are making life more expensive and his yes-men in Congress are making health care inaccessible for families.

Did you know? Medicaid covers 50% of births in Texas. Nearly 14 million Americans rely on Medicaid and Republican-proposed cuts put these people at risk of losing their health care. Thanks for having me on to discuss this and so much more, @houstonpubmedia

For those who want to get in the weeds of Republican efforts to take away health care, this is a helpful overview.
About 14 million more people could be uninsured due to the combined effects of the ACA Marketplace /Medicaid changes in the House reconciliation bill AND the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits under current law. Our experts break it down:
