Gina Hinojosa is going to transform millions of Texans’ lives for the better.
The folks working double shifts without healthcare. The students facing school closures. The families scared they could be torn to shreds by ICE.

Abolish the filibuster.

Parents asked Google for more control over AI in their kids’ schools. Now Google says that if a school turns off its AI, students lose Google search too. In other words, a monopoly wants to bully schools into using its products.
Google will be hearing from me, demanding answers.

Google Will Turn Off Search for Schools That Reject A.I.
Google is making it easier to restrict its A.I. tools for students. But schools that block A.I. entirely will lose student access to Google’s search engine.
AI executives have spent big on Trump. Now their AI is hacking websites, including a government health database. If Trump’s DOJ looks the other way, that’s corruption, plain and simple.
I’m leading 17 members of Congress and demanding an investigation.

OpenAI discloses four more rogue AI incidents involving financial, medical, and government data | Fortune
The company flagged two new incidents as “critical,” yet did not discover or disclose them until months later.
I respect Sen. Schatz, but I 100% disagree with him here.
Even if we win the midterms, Democrats have far to go to win back the trust of working people. If Democrats don't understand that, we will sleepwalk into President Vance 2028.
No one in America thinks the status quo is working.
My colleagues and I are demanding that OpenAI not fire whistleblowers and keep its most powerful models paused until there’s real oversight.
AI CEOs should also be dragged in front of Congress and asked about the risks they’re putting on us.

AI labs in progressives’ sights if Democrats win House
Rep. Greg Casar says Democrats should haul AI CEOs before Congress to answer for risks posed by their companies.
My final conversation with Dolores Huerta happened to be captured by @motherjones.com , right after Dolores gave our airport restaurant workers a pep talk.
I’m heartbroken. For decades, Dolores Huerta fought to make the world a better place for workers, women, and immigrants.
At 95 years old, Dolores would get on a red-eye flight on a moment’s notice to make it for a protest at the Capitol, or a meeting with brave Texas workers. (1/2)
Last week, I joined @mehdirhasan.bsky.social in Houston for the biggest @zeteo.com event yet!
Our message was simple: no more genocide & mass destruction. No more billionaires controlling our economy and elections.
People are demanding change. Congress needs to catch up.
I’m glad that Brad has been released — but he should never have been detained in the first place. Everyone else needs to be released immediately.
Congress must pass the Stop the Settlements Act, make it clear that abuses like this are unacceptable, and stop funding this terror. (1/2)
I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.
Mi oficina fue informada de que ICE está usando estacionamientos en Austin como bases de operación de ICE para aterrorizar a nuestra comunidad.

My office has been notified that ICE is using parking lots in Austin as staging areas to terrorize our community.
ICE is making Austin less safe. Kids are scared to go to school, parents are scared to go to work, and crime victims are even scared to talk to police.

An airman tragically lost his life at the Alamodome last night while helping honor our military before the UTSA–Navy game. San Antonio is grieving with his family today. My prayers are with them and with everyone he served alongside.
Heidi Levine was covering the West Bank olive harvest when masked settlers viciously attacked her.
More than 1,600 Israeli settler attacks have occurred so far this year — nearly all of them targeting Palestinians.
Members of Congress came to Austin today to begin our investigation of the ICE shooting of Wilber Garcés-Pérez.
ICE has tried to avoid accountability, but Congress will use our powers to uncover the truth.
LIVE: I'm leading a field hearing in Austin with @jayapal.house.gov, @benniethompson.bsky.social, and other Democrats on ICE shootings across Texas, including the shooting of Wilber Garcés Pérez.
Texans deserve answers.

Seeking Justice in Austin: Oversight of ICE’s Use of Force in the Shooting of Wilber Garcés-Pérez
YouTube video by Homeland Security Committee Democrats
ICE shot Wilber Garcés Pérez, a DoorDash driver, in Austin. All across the state & country, ICE is shooting innocent people & locking up kids. It’s out of control.
I’m holding a field hearing this week in Austin with @jayapal.house.gov, @benniethompson.bsky.social, & other Democrats to get answers.
Trump has sent ICE to arrest kids, to shoot innocent citizens, and now to raid the home of a US Congresswoman because he thinks it’ll help his party this election season.
Ilhan Omar stands up and won’t let Trump do whatever he wants to our country. It’s up to us to do the same.

More than 200,000 Texans are waiting for Medicaid approval
Outdated technology and stricter requirements for Medicaid and SNAP food assistance have made it harder for Texas to give timely approval to applications, state officials and advocates say.
