@RepEscobar Veronica, get a job, do something for El Paso, for Texas and for your voters. Talk less. Do some work, it's about time.

Isn’t this your guy with an example of how the so-called SAVE act will make it harder for married women to vote?

Democrat Rep. Veronica Escobar lies about the SAVE America Act. ESCOBAR: "This is a voter suppression tactic against women." Escobar just doesn't want you to know that she voted against commonsense voter ID laws.

It’s not uncommon for Members of Congress to occasionally address an empty chamber… but someone please tell @RepEscobar it’s weird to talk to empty rooms outside of Congress.

Republicans need to bring the Senate bill to the floor now.
It would pay the TSA, FEMA, CISA, and the CBP employees Donald Trump chose not to pay. DHS was just given $191 billion - it was never a question of money. Donald Trump has chosen who gets their paycheck and who doesn’t.

News: Johnson is pitching members on a clean 60 day CR that would fund ALL of DHS, including ICE, I’m told. This would send the package back to the Senate and require them to come back to end the DHS shutdown. Nothing is final yet, but this is the pitch he is making. Dems unlikely to go for this in either chamber.

TRUMP: I did a mail in ballot for elections in Florida because I felt I should be here REPORTER: You were in Palm Beach the last few weekends TRUMP: Yeah. And I decided that I was going to vote by mail in ballot because I had a lot of different things

@Josue9156325 because I'm not a senator, not am I a republican

What @RepEscobar. Why not?

Here's how your senators voted on my Penny Plan:

Trump could not care less about the TSA agents and the other DHS employees working without pay.
And Republicans are too sacred to do anything about it.
It’s as clear as it was when the shutdown began: Republicans are completely responsible.
Sam Stein@samstein
Punchbowl with a pretty significant report this morning, that more or less puts Trump now on the hook for the TSA funding lapse.

@RepEscobar YOU and your fellow libtards could not care less about the American people.

Today, accusations were made by ICE against one of my caseworkers — a dedicated public servant, Army veteran, and experienced member of my team. I have every reason to believe these allegations are unfounded.
It is worth noting that ICE has refused to respond to multiple letters I’ve sent about Camp East Montana regarding deaths, including a homicide; outbreaks of diseases including COVID-19, measles, and tuberculosis; waste, fraud, and abuse; a lack of legal representation or medical care; and so much more.
This administration has a history of engaging in intimidation tactics against Members of Congress as well as continuously attempting to obstruct our ability to provide oversight.
I stand proudly by the members of my team who have demonstrated nothing but dedication and integrity to serving our nation and our community.

.@RepEscobar’s staffer, Benito Torres, repeatedly falsely claimed to be an attorney representing detainees — even signing federal paperwork attesting that he was legal counsel for specific individuals.
The facility administrator discovered that Torres was passing a phone to multiple detainees and spoke to him; at that time, Torres admitted he was not an attorney and was visiting as a private citizen.
After the fraudulent visit, officials reviewed past visitor logs and discovered Torres had repeatedly represented himself as a lawyer or said he was visiting for legal reasons. ICE records show that Torres has misrepresented himself at least 11 times.

NEW: ICE & DHS are accusing one of Rep. Veronica Escobar's (D-TX) staffers of repeatedly falsely claiming to be a lawyer in order to enter an ICE detention facility, meet with detainees, and give them cell phones. ICE says logbooks show Benito Torres falsely claimed to be a lawyer 11 times and repeatedly signed federal G-28 forms falsely attesting that he was an attorney there to see his clients. ICE says during one visit, the facility administrator at Camp East Montana caught Torres giving a phone to multiple detainees and confronted him, and Torres admitted he wasn't a lawyer and was visiting as a private citizen. Torres is now banned from ICE facilities, and the ICE Director has sent a letter to Rep. Escobar, demanding to know if Torres made the "fraudulent visits" with authorization from her, and whether or not she will cooperate with a potential federal investigation into the incident. We have reached out to Rep. Escobar's office, which tells @FoxNews they are looking into it. Will update when we hear back. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) fired a staffer last year who had falsely claimed to be an attorney to gain entry to an ICE facility.

March 19th, 1966 is an iconic day in El Paso history.
60 years ago today, Texas Western (now UTEP) won the 1966 NCAA title when legendary coach Don Haskins started five Black players for the first time in tournament history.

Don’t let Republicans convince you that affordable, accessible health care is too expensive to accomplish.
It’s all a matter of priorities.

We will continue to uplift farmworkers and their families, and celebrate their fight for justice and fairness. Chavez’s name should be removed from all our public landmarks and buildings, and I am eager to work with the community on next steps.

The credible allegations against Cesar Chavez for rape and sexual abuse are horrific. My heart is with the survivors who, for decades, have seen their abuser lauded as a hero.
As one of them says: “The movement — that’s the hero."
