Look no further than this MASSIVE corporate TV merger that violates FCC standards on Trump's orders, for yet another great reason to support non-profit, independent media like Progress Texas. Podcast: bit.ly/3Z0lr7x prospect.org/2026/03/23/dem…

While we don't know the full story of this explosion yet, I'm grateful that there were no reported injuries. This important facility processes 435,000 barrels per day to make products like gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. valero.com/about/location…

Houston is one of 14 U.S. cities - all with Democratic mayors - to whose airports #ICE agents have been deployed by Donald Trump...and they have a broader ability to hassle and maybe arrest YOU should they choose to. Podcast: bit.ly/3Z0lr7x viewfromthewing.com/ice-is-showing…

If there's one thing Ted Cruz cares about, it's his ability to get in and out of an airport in record time when shit goes down

Governor Abbott cancelled Cesar Chavez Day overnight — but has never once spoken up about the dozens of women who have accused Donald Trump. Abuse should have no political party. If you stand with survivors, you stand with ALL survivors. Tell me I'm wrong.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

There is only one party deploying masked paramilitary goons into our neighborhoods, plotting to kick YOU off the voter rolls, and recklessly starting WW3 - and that's Republicans.

YOU can help shape the future of our state this weekend at your local @texasdemocrats county convention! Learn more about what’s going on and how you can get involved, everywhere you stream Progress Texas Podcasts.

Unlike #MAGA, who continue sporting red hats emblazoned with the name of a suspected serial sex offender, progressives and union leaders are reckoning with and responding to the new revelations regarding #CesarChavez. Podcast: bit.ly/3Z0lr7x texastribune.org/2026/03/18/ces…

My statement regarding Dolores Huerta’s sexual abuse testimony. In recent weeks, we’ve seen serious conversations around the politicization of sexual abuse allegations, particularly tied to the Epstein files. The news of Dolores Huerta coming forward about abuse…

The acts committed by Cesar Chavez against girls and women are reprehensible. I hope the victims are able to find the justice and peace they deserve. The movement that Cesar Chavez helped lead was always larger than one person or legacy. As with most things, progress is an ensemble effort. The faces in the news aren’t the totality of the movement. The celebration of that progress toward justice, fair wages, and civil rights continues. The tributes to the man, however, should not. Therefore, we should begin a public community process to rename tributes to Cesar Chavez’s legacy.

Are you looking to get involved? Visit your local county convention! Learn more about the county-level @texasdemocrats conventions happening this weekend, March 20-21, with the folks making it happen — find it everywhere you stream Progress Texas Podcasts. (P.S. We’ll be there too! Come and say hi to your favorite progressive organization at the Harris and Colin County conventions!)

You might be shocked - SHOCKED - to learn that Ted Cruz lied his ass off yesterday in the U.S. Senate about non-citizen voting in his press for the #SAVEAmericaAct. Pass the smelling salts. Podcast: bit.ly/3Z0lr7x democracydocket.com/news-alerts/te…

Do you want a more affordable state? Join a union! Hardworking Texans deserve the dignity of a living wage, and union leaders like @TexasAFLCIO are working to make it happen. Listen to our full conversation on the latest episode of the Progress Texas Happy Hour Podcast.

Senator Cornyn was hosting a press event at the airport. When I asked, he said it’s “not acceptable” to fund TSA. Don’t take my word for it — take his.
