Republicans are using the tragedy of July’s flooding to redraw political maps; not to deliver relief, but to entrench their power. That’s why we’re breaking quorum. We stand with the people, not partisan power grabs. #txlege #FairMapsNow
The choice was clear:
Stand by while Abbott silences millions of Black and Latino voters, or use every tool available to stop this assault on our democracy.
This corrupt special session is over.

Yesterday the special session began, so in case you missed it, here’s a recap of what we discussed on the Senate floor.

On day one of the special session, Texas’s Republican leadership made it clear that their number one priority is to protect politicians over people. The president is weaponizing your state legislature to serve himself, not Texans.

In case you missed it: the Wisconsin Supreme Court just upheld a ban on conversion therapy. Huge win for LGBTQ rights.

We are praying for Greta and her family. My heart goes out those who lost loved ones, the brave first responders, and everyone caught in the flash flooding.

Greta Toranzo, an HISD elementary school student, is missing after Guadalupe River floodwaters took over at Camp Mystic. She is still missing and her parents asked the school to share her photo as they search for her.

1. Families are sleeping in shelters tonight. Some don’t even know if their loved ones are safe.
The #GuadalupeRiver rose fast—and it took everything.

People everywhere are saying this very loud and clear: No kings. No ICE. Not in Houston, not in Texas, not anywhere in this country.

Honored to have @TammyBaldwin's early support in this race!
Senator Baldwin is a trailblazer and I've long admired her leadership. I can't wait to work with her to protect our LGBTQ+ communities, lower costs for the middle class and deliver progress for hardworking families.
Today, I'm proud to announce my support for @AngieCraigMN for U.S. Senate. Angie understands that public service is about working and fighting on behalf of working families. Whether it's fighting for affordable health care, defending reproductive rights or standing up to big corporations, Angie has consistently shown the courage to lead and deliver real progress. In the Senate, we need partners who will not only champion bold ideas but also will go everywhere and talk to everyone. As the top Democrat on the Ag Committee in the House, she’s shown that she can work with Democrats and Republicans and has the experience, the values and the vision to help us move our country forward. I look forward to working alongside her in the U.S. Senate.
Join me in supporting her campaign today: secure.actblue.com/donate/lo…

Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional…
Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.

This is reckless, illegal action from the president. He does NOT have the authority to enter us into a war with Iran. He MUST consult Congress. This is not what Americans want. I’m thinking about our troops tonight.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked to tirelessly protect her constituents from gun violence.
Thanks to @MomsDemand for your leadership! Your work on the campaign trail gave us a majority that's ready to lead on gun violence prevention.

Honored to serve as Grand Marshal at #QueensPride with @CatalinaCruzNY & Andry José Hernández Romero, unjustly detained after fleeing anti-LGBTQ violence.
Pride is defiant joy—& our joy is resistance. We will ALWAYS fight for LGBTQ immigrant justice. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Two years after Utah orders a study on gender-affirming care, the results are in. It is safe, effective and needed. Unsurprisingly, Utah Republicans are now eager to dismiss the results.

69 years ago this week, Althea Gibson became the first Black tennis player to win a major singles title, defeating the U.K.'s Angela Mortimer in the Women's Singles Final of the French Championships.
Thinking of my Shero and all she's done to break barriers.

Harvey Milk’s election showed me that it was possible to run for office and be my authentic self.
On #HarveyMilkDay, I’m celebrating the example he set and recommitting to creating a world where #LGBTQ+ people are free to discrimination, judgement, and violence because of who they are or who they love.
