Excellent reporting by @KUTnathan, who consistently presses for transparency from a federal agency doing too little, too late to protect public safety. I'll continue to forcefully advocate that the FAA do better by providing Austin the air traffic controllers and support we.

In the upside-down Trump world, those who sought accountability are demoted or fired; those who caused violence are freed. Having previously rewarded felons who caused death and destruction on Jan. 6, now Trump is penalizing those who upheld the rule of law. Though his Jan. 6

I spoke out against the Intimidator-in-Chief. We keep a tyrant like Trump in check by bravely speaking out and uniting to overcome his extreme gerrymandering in Texas and beyond. Protecting our freedoms requires a new Congress, which is accountable and accessible to

On Ukraine’s 34th Independence Day, we renew our commitment, deep in the heart of Texas, to stand firmly for freedom and democracy against ALL tyrants and dictators. Joined @LibertyUkraineF and allies to challenge Trump’s appeasement policy—his being too weak to stand up to war

In Austin, LGBTQ+ pride doesn’t begin and end in June; it’s a year-round movement for change. Together with welcoming Central Texas neighbors, we celebrated our LGBTQ+ community at last night’s parade and remain committed to fighting back against Republican attacks on freedom.

In order to officially declare a famine in Gaza on Friday, the IPC, a technocratic body, determined that each day at least 400 people are starving to death. 132,000 children under the age of 5 are at risk of death from acute malnutrition over coming months. This is.

With the arrogance and suppression we have come to expect from the Texas State Senate, now with one-man rule by a recent Trump campaign chair, debate on the Trump redistricting plan was abruptly terminated.

Velshi and I discussed my decision to focus on the fight against Trump and his enablers. Every day he takes steps that bring us closer to full-blown authoritarianism. Trump is an existential threat to our democracy, demanding engagement by all generations of Americans.

In Austin, diversity is our strength – economically, culturally, and in making this a more pleasant place to call home. But Trump is a racist, pure and simple!. He’s undermining the diversity strength of America and attempting to rewrite history.

Using the full power of the federal government, President Trump has promoted a vision of America that challenges the legitimacy of the Black experience.

Trump and Republicans are quick to appease Putin, but freedom-loving Austinites stand firm in our commitment to a prosperous, united Ukraine—free of daily Russian attacks and free from control by a war criminal. I will again be speaking at Liberty Ukraine’s celebration of.

As Putin kills more and more Ukrainian civilians each day, these U.S.-based oil companies have blood on their hands by helping to finance ongoing death and destruction. The Trump Administration talks of sanctions but practices appeasement and appears to be doing nothing about.

SpaceX, the company owned by Elon Musk, relies on federal taxpayer-funded contracts for 84% of its revenue; in 2020-2021, it reported only $6,000 in income taxes. Pretty sweet deal for a company valued at $350B made possible by a Trump/GOP tax bill.

Elon Musk’s rocket company relies on federal contracts, but years of losses have most likely let it avoid paying federal income taxes, according to internal company documents.

This anti-immigrant policy weaponizes the federal gov against hardworking immigrants who pay taxes, even though they're ineligible for many benefits taxes finance. The GOP is striking fear into communities and disincentivizing contributions of immigrants.

Thanks to Trump’s tariff taxes, prices continue to climb, costing families thousands more per year. Housing, home renovations, repairs, and other items at Home Depot or elsewhere that you may need to purchase are getting more and more expensive.

Troubling facts from @HC_Richardson 's incisive writing that again expose the lie of Trump's claim that he would drastically bring down prices:. The wholesale price of vegetables jumped 38.9% in July. NPR reported on Saturday that electricity prices have “jumped more than twice.

Not having the 2028 election, as Trump mused in a meeting with Ukraine President Zelensky, is no joke. Nor is it a joke that Trump is attempting to rig the 2026 election now with crooked mid-decade redistricting maps, through executive orders designed to limit mail-in ballots,.

The remark came as Ukrainian President Zelenskyy explained how his country has not been able to hold elections since Russia's invasion.
