Today’s news is hard.

Thinking of Dolores Huerta and everyone impacted. She’s spent her life showing up for others. Now it’s our turn.

In Austin, I’m joining the call to honor

This is the kind of appalling action which occurs when our government is taken over by fanatics. DOGE employees used ChatGPT to decide which govt grants to cancel, defending the flagging of a documentary about Jewish women who were slave laborers in the Holocaust as "inherently related to DEI."

In 1984, a 5th grader in West Texas found his political voice listening to Rev. Jesse Jackson. Sharing a personal memory that shaped my life.

Texas has proudly led student protest movements before.

In 1970, students in Uvalde walked out to protest discrimination & unequal schools. That is Texas history.

The Supreme Court made clear in Tinker v. Des Moines that students retain free speech rights at school. Peaceful protest is protected.

Screenshot of tweet from Huberman that reads: “The other is that dog breeds w/different shaped heads are predictive of their demeanor and intelligence. And while I don’t! believe in Phrenology I now do pay some attention to how the shapes of peoples heads relates to their intellect and steadiness, or lack thereof.”

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Claiming a Pride flag ban is justified because it also bans Nazi or Confederate flags is a false equivalence. One affirms dignity. The others represent hate. That vote was anti-LGBTQ, plain and simple.

In Austin, a 911 call led to a woman and her young American citizen daughter being taken into custody after an ICE administrative warrant in NCIC was run. No crime. No court warrant.

APD General Orders and training must change immediately.

Texas law requires limited cooperation with DHS, but it does not require local police to detain or transfer people based solely on civil administrative warrants.

AP reported today that ICE is relying on a new internal policy claiming authority to act on administrative immigration warrants without a judge. That shift is under legal scrutiny.

Earlier today Ken Paxton issued an unsolicited opinion narrowing civil-rights protections.

The Texas NAACP warned it breaks with constitutional precedent and threatens lawful remedies for discrimination. Texans should take that seriously.

The solution is to elect @jaworskifortexas.bsky.social AG.

Today, on a holiday honoring the late Rev. Dr. MLK Jr., The University of Texas at Austin’s Provost chose to release a memo announcing the wind-down of multiple student- and faculty-facing academic support units.

That decision matters. Timing matters. Context matters.

On today’s show, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social told me House Dems plan to hold out for ICE reforms before supporting DHS funding bill that’s due by end of month. Jeffries wants requirements for warrants and that agents not wear masks during enforcement before Dems support that DHS funding bill.

What happened in Minneapolis is a tragedy. My heart is with the victim’s family and loved ones. There is no justification for violence rooted in hate or dehumanization.

Despite continued GOP efforts to disparage and wreck the Affordable Care Act, almost 80% of Americans, including 57% of “MAGA supporters,” support extending the credits that help families afford coverage. Yet, House GOP are still only offering Nothingcare as their alternative to Obamacare.

After talking with supporters, our team, and my husband, I decided not to file for public office today and will suspend my exploratory campaign for HD 49. I’m truly grateful to my supporters. Sean and I will stay involved in the work that strengthens Austin and reflects the best of Texas. Thank you.

Honored to chair the Mayor’s Public Spaces Task Force, formed after the Governor’s order to remove Austin’s rainbow crosswalks and 14 others citywide.

If the state denies a waiver, we’ll design community-driven solutions that honor Austin’s creativity and spirit.

• Texas judges can now refuse same-sex weddings.
• Our cattle raisers + soybean producers are getting squeezed while Argentina cashes in.
• Abbott & Patrick = silent.

Austin ISD closing 13 schools and displacing 16,000 students is part of a bigger Texas crisis: Trump’s cuts + Abbott’s ESA scheme are draining $$ from public schools. When campuses close, communities lose jobs & Friday Night Lights risk going dark across Texas.
