Texans of every background love Big Bend. It has some of the darkest night skies in the country and wildlife you can't find anywhere else.
Trump building a border wall in Big Bend won't make anyone more safe or more free.
RFK Jr. has met with tons of CEOs and billionaires — even Kid Rock. But he's the Secretary of Health.
So I asked him if he's met with a single one of the 15 million people he and Trump are kicking off their health care.
Sounds like he hasn’t.

I just voted again to stop Trump's war with Iran.
Mass surveillance has been a problem under presidents of both parties.
Trump’s disregard for the rules makes it more dangerous.
AI could supercharge the problem.
I’ll be voting no.
Screw this.
If anyone’s looking to see the dynamic that’s broken the Democratic Party in just a few paragraphs, you can look here.
AI could kill millions of jobs. Democrats absolutely should not roll over and play dead.
This Tax Day, every American should know:
Because of Trump, Amazon avoided paying over 90% of the taxes it owed.
That's $17.5 billion that should be going to health care, schools, child care, and more.
But instead, Jeff Bezos gets wealthier.
Congress needs to tax the rich.
Executives say AI could put millions of Americans out of work.
But Republicans in Congress are doing nothing about it.
Why?
Maybe because the AI industry is planning to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in the next election. youtu.be/brRSlUZqkIw
Blue Butterfly. Brown Bear. Green Turtle.
That’s what ICE names the prison blocks at Dilley to make this place sound humane. It’s not.
Kids are being locked up, denied care, and treated like they don’t matter.
This must end.
I delivered $3+ million for Austin’s first universally accessible playground at Onion Creek Park.
Kids of all abilities will be able to play together.
When too many of our tax dollars are going to war and chaos, this is an example of the good our government can do.
She has been detained with her children for nearly a year. She should be provided needed care or released so she can get it immediately.
I've just learned that Hayam El Gamal, who I met with at Dilley detention center last week, is being denied an ultrasound by ICE, even though CT scans show an unidentified lump that has been causing her pain. This is dangerous and outrageous.
Trump said he'd go after the "bad guys."
So why’d his Department of Justice drop 23,000 criminal investigations?
Because prosecutors were pulled off investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs, and more to hunt down innocent immigrant families.
This is called ‘surveillance pricing.’
It should be illegal.
I have a bill to ban it.

Here’s a number every American should know.
$8 billion.
That’s how much Trump’s unnecessary war with Iran has already cost Americans in extra gas prices.
Outrageous.
Yesterday, Trump said he’d keep OSHA’s heat safety program.
Today, his administration gutted it by removing the inspection goals that made it matter.
That’s unacceptable. I’ll keep fighting to protect workers from dangerous heat.
Austinites facing domestic violence deserve a safe place to go.
On the city council I led the effort to open this shelter, and I will not accept it closing now.
Austin elected officials at all levels must come together to save it.
Last week, I led 46 lawmakers demanding OSHA extend a rule that protects workers from dangerous heat.
Today they announced they'll extend the initiative in some way. But I’ll be watching to make sure it stays as strong as it needs to be.
I’ll keep fighting to protect workers from dangerous heat.
“For the first time since Gallup began tracking, more workers report struggling in their lives than thriving.”
Donald Trump put billionaires and special interests in charge of the American economy.
It’s a disaster for working people.
Today, I met with a 19 year old student who has been detained by ICE for five months.
Please listen to her story.
A dental care facility. Doctors. A law library.
Today, @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and I visited ICE's Dilley Detention Facility and were told they had these things. The people we talked to said otherwise.
Donald Trump is detaining innocent people and lying about it.
This might be Donald Trump's most dangerous, unhinged statement yet.

Trump is completely unhinged.
He's lashing out with no plan, threatening horrific war crimes after already bombing a girl's school.
It's making the entire world, including the United States, less safe.
Every Republican enabling him is responsible. Congress must act.
When ICE targets people for speaking up, it threatens the First Amendment rights of all Americans.
Outrageous. Mr. Sarsour must be released immediately.
Trump’s immigration agents have detained over 170 U.S. citizens this year — including little kids and at least three pregnant citizens.
This isn’t “law and order.” This is chaos. And it puts all of our rights at risk.
Trump campaigned promising to end wars, bring down prices, and tackle inflation.
Now Trump has started a reckless war in Iran, raised gas prices to historic highs, and driven up inflation.
Trump's new budget is out.
To pay for his endless wars, he wants the biggest increase to military spending in 70 years.
How does he pay for it?
Cuts to "education, health, housing and more."
Hell no.
If anyone knows anyone who still thinks Trump works for working people, please show them this clip.
This is a big win.
The Trump Admin has reversed Noem’s crazy policy that delayed search and rescue in Texas by 72 hours.
I’ll keep fighting for the independent investigation I’ve demanded into this failed policy.
And we’ll keep fighting to fully restore FEMA.
When I confronted John Cornyn at the airport, he said it would be “not acceptable” to fund TSA workers without more money for ICE.
He caved, and now House Republicans did too.
When Democrats stand and fight, we can win.
When you’re born in America, you’re an American.
Trump is trying to end that basic constitutional right that was won at the end of the Civil War. We won’t let Trump take our rights backward to 1865.
