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.

.@GregCasar is right. I have a bill ready to go that will fund TSA - Republicans are blocking it. Ask them why!

Good work by @GregCasar! Pass a TSA funding bill now so airports can get back to normal and negotiate the ICE reforms una separate bill. But @JohnCornyn refuses to do that.

.@RepCasar crashes a media avail by @JohnCornyn at Austin Bergstrom, where Cornyn is delivering lunch to TSA agents and blaming Dems for blocking DHS funding Casar says Cornyn is “trying to out Paxton Ken Paxton,” and blames Rs for blocking TSA funding

Here’s the argument between Casar and Cornyn at the end of that video:

The Trump administration establishes precedent for the expanded targeting of progressive and left leaning activists with mostly guilty verdicts in the federal "Antifa" trial in Fort Worth. Podcast: bit.ly/3Z0lr7x nytimes.com/2026/03/13/us/…

Three quinceañeras this weekend! In a time when politics feels full of division and hate, these celebrations are a reminder of what bringing people together really looks like. That’s the South Texas I believe in. It’s an honor to be welcomed into these beautiful traditions.
