    Juneteenth marks the day freedom finally reached the last enslaved people in the United States. It is a celebration of resilience, perseverance, and the generations who fought to make our nation live up to its founding ideals.

    President Obama was the first president I ever voted for. I still remember watching the results come in that night and feeling hopeful about the future of our country. Today was a reminder that public service, respect for our institutions, and thoughtful leadership still matter.

    54 years ago today, the Watergate scandal broke. At a moment when the country needed courage and conviction, Houston’s Barbara Jordan rose to the occasion. She reminded America that the Constitution matters, that no one is above the law, and that public service demands…

    Spent time at the Houston Food Bank, the largest in the nation by distribution. Trump’s cuts to SNAP & state funding means more folks are turning to food banks for help. Families shouldn't have to wonder where their next meal is coming from.

    As Harris County Attorney, I took on big polluters & beat them in court. I know exactly how these corporations operate, & I know the damage they leave behind in our communities. What Trump’s EPA is doing is sick & criminal. The EPA is supposed to protect people, not the…

    Congratulations to our new Harris County Attorney, Abbie Kamin! Jon Fombonne was my First Assistant and later followed me as County Attorney. I’m grateful for his leadership and for continuing the office’s work fighting for Harris County residents. Now the torch passes to Abbie.

    They really let a UFC fighter call our only Black First Lady a man on the White House lawn at an official White House event … while thousands cheered and the biggest podcaster in the world smiled. There is no economic policy fix for this. Many of these people are just racist.

    10 years ago today, 49 lives were taken in a senseless act of violence at Pulse Nightclub. Their lives mattered. Their stories mattered. And their memories deserve to be honored not just today, but every day. May we never forget those we lost, and keep working for a more…

    Families across America are are stretching every dollar just to get by. Groceries cost more. Gas costs more. And what do Republicans do? They write ICE a bigger check. Not a dime to make life more affordable. That's why I voted NO on Republican's budget bill.
