Super proud of these two student athletes & leaders as well as the entire Sul Ross State University Sul Ross State Men’s Basketball program!

A different take from former D Congressman pete p gallego "I fundamentally disagree with the Freedom Caucus philosophy... But doing the right thing as you see it for the people you represent is to be celebrated." Pete Gallego dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…

Busy day. Wrote op-ed for the Dallas Morning News/DMN Opinion & enjoyed the talking w/ Spectrum News 1 Texas abt the work of TxAccessJustice Foundation & the importance of #AccesstoJustice for all Texans. Working always to make Texas better. #justice #LegalRepresentation #CivilLegalServices

Very proud of Sul Ross State Women’s Basketball. They fell to @UTDallas_WBB in overtime in the @ASC_Sports quarterfinal tonight - but it was a hell of a game & a heck of a season. Special s/o to leaders @FemaleHooper15 & @_Rokas_22. They are amazing students, athletes, & individuals. #GoLobos #BrandEm

#BexarCounty DA Joe Gonzales was lauded in today’s San Antonio Express-News for saving $5.6 million in taxpayer funds, reforming cite/release policies, & steering nonviolent offenders to diversion programs. #UpholdingJustice #MakingGovtAccountable #SavingTaxpayerMoney

I’ll take #FarWestTexas weather - & specifically #AlpineTX weather - over Central Texas weather nearly any day - but especially these days. #heatwave #excessiveheatwarnings #TexasWeather

Parents’ orientation UT Austin was well worth the time - & I love the neighborhood. #HesOfftoCollegeSoon #HigherEducation #HookEm #GoHornsGo

My commute btw AUS & SA via I-35 was more adventurous than usual today. Many thanks to Quentin Parker, a real TxDOT Austin HERO for getting me back on the road. Kind, courteous, & all around amazing. Remembered why I loved working w/ TxDOT in the #TxLege. #TxDOTHERO

The #WaterWall in Houston is among my favorite stops in Texas’ biggest city - but I more appreciate catching up w/ my hero Senfronia Thompson & hanging out w/ another hero, Garnet Coleman. Great public servants! #TxLege #GoodPeople

Super excited that ⁦Texas Football jumped up to 4 in the latest rankings after yesterday’s huge and impressive win over ⁦Alabama Football⁩! #GoHorns #HookEm espn.com/college-footba…

Beautiful view on 1-25 between Albuquerque & Las Cruces nothing like rain in the desert. #RainClouds #Sunset

Happy 99th birthday to former US President #JimmyCarter. He set a standard for honesty & decency not only among American political leaders, but among political figures across the world. #Integrity #Values

Gotta hand it to @RepMattGaetz. Unflappable; relishing the fight; making cogent arguments. Who knew he could make his opponents look so weak?#MotionToVacate #MotionToVacateMcCarthy #USHouse #USCongress

We all have our challenges. Our country has some big challenges, too. But every time walk out of my office & see that flag flying, I remember how truly blessed we are to live in the USA. #GodBlessAmerica #ProudToBeAnAmerican

Watching Southeastern Conference action since Texas Football is moving there soon. Saw history made. NMSU Football beat Auburn Football 31-10; @NMSU’s 1st-ever win against an Southeastern Conference team! Proud to see a diverse Far West Texas neighbor do so well! Congrats to #CoachFixIt & the team! Conference USA

My grandparents, who opened a restaurant in #AlpineTx in1918, & my parents, who took it over & ran the restaurant until they retired in 1998, would love this story . . . #familyroots #Mexicanrestaurant #progress #culture axios.com/2024/01/11/mex…

Loved representing @McDonaldObs for 24 years I was in office. Made sure they had resources to do their work (& even got them a new school bus). Here’s a great example of work being done by UT Austin astronomers. #FortDavis #DavisMountains #MountLocke vox.com/science/240405…

Sad at the loss of businesses & historic bldgs in downtown Alpine due to fire. Praying for the business owners. Thx to the firefighters who kept it from spreading. #Home #AlpineTx #Fire Massive Fire Engulfs Historic Buildings in Downtown Alpine, Texas sanangelolive.com/news/texas/202…

Sad to learn of the passing of Sheila Jackson Lee, my fmr colleague in the #USCongress. She had tough races this yr & persevered even while battling pancreatic cancer. She had incredible strength, courage, willpower, & fortitude. She made a difference; may she now rest in peace.

As a person, Rep. Gerry Connolly was friendly, funny, & fair. As a Congressman, he was dependable, dedicated, determined. We officed in the same hall; I loved working w/ & learning from him. May eternal light now shine upon him. House Democrats #RIP #USCongress nytimes.com/2025/05/21/us/…
