“By promoting responsible gun ownership, safe firearm storage, stronger background checks, and improved access to mental health care, we can help reduce gun violence while protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding Texans.”
International Affairs & Trade
“Russia launched an unprovoked attack on Ukraine without justification. Ukraine is an American trade partner, and Russia presents a direct threat to America and our allies. We should continue to support Ukraine with our old military equipment while avoiding a scenario that would require “boots on the ground.””
Health Care
“We should expand Medicaid and make Texas a state where getting sick won’t ruin your life.”
Elections & Campaigns
“We need to make mail-in voting easier, continue to allow county-wide voting, have more accessible polling locations, and keep polling locations safe and fully stocked with the resources they need.”

The government holds the investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking of children: who paid, who flew, who knew, and which prosecutors decided back in 2008 that a plea deal was enough. Every release so far has landed late, partial, and with the redactions falling in suspiciously convenient places. The survivors have spent two decades being told to wait while the people they named kept their board seats and their reputations. There is exactly one legitimate reason to withhold any of this, and that is protecting victims who never chose to be in it; every other black box is someone being shielded who shouldn't be. Force the full release of the Epstein files with victim-identifying information redacted and nothing else, and open an independent review of how the 2008 deal was allowed to happen.
Big Bend is 800,000 acres of Chihuahuan Desert that Americans set aside more than eighty years ago, and the canyon walls along the river hold rock art made thousands of years before there was a border here to argue about. Construction is working toward it now under a legal power almost nobody knows exists: one line in the REAL ID Act lets the Secretary of Homeland Security waive any law at all (the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, historic preservation, the statutes protecting tribal sacred sites) to build a wall, with no court permitted to review the decision. That isn't border policy. That's a single official with a pen and nobody to answer to. Repeal that waiver authority and bar wall construction inside national parks, wildlife refuges, and tribal sacred sites.
The National Archives holds the founding documents and the receipts, the records that let a citizen check what the government actually did. The Smithsonian and the national museums hold the version of the American story that outlasts whoever is in office. None of that survives being run by whoever currently holds power. We are watching boards replaced with loyalists, exhibits rewritten to flatter one man, collections put at risk, and a Pearl Harbor hero's name scraped off a ship to make room for an ego. A country that lets its record be edited by the people the record is about has no way to hold anyone accountable later. Write independence for the National Archives, the Smithsonian, and the national cultural institutions into statute, with fixed board terms, protection from political removal, and no rewriting or renaming without public process.
