@GregAbbott_TX continues to adopt the deadly language of white nationalists in an effort to demonize migrants and rile up his base. Texans want real solutions to the immigration challenges at our border not dangerous, xenophobic scare tactics that get people killed. QT @abc7breaking: Gov. Greg Abbott calls immigration from Mexico an 'invasion,' invokes Invasion Clause - KVIA https://t.co/kuUDFwWmz8)
We’re just getting started again tonight with phone banking for El Paso Democrats.

Republicans are TELLING US they want to help the wealthiest 1% by extending the Trump tax cuts that drove up the deficit. It'll increase economic disparity, blow up the deficit and -- by the way -- fuel inflation. https://t.co/6cKQbgNash

A Republican nationwide abortion ban would take away reproductive freedom from nearly 64 million women. @HouseDemocrats will not stand for this. Read more https://t.co/Xgt1VRlj3e
Many Americans have to ration their medicine - choosing between life-saving prescriptions and putting food on the table. Republicans promised to repeal our measures to make prescription drugs more affordable. Their "health" agenda is deadly. https://t.co/9f6ULJ06Qn

Republicans are so extreme they want CHILDREN who were raped to be forced to carry pregnancies to term. This isn’t just Ohio. With Lindsey Graham’s bill, Republicans want this for women and CHILDREN throughout the entire country. This is who they are. https://t.co/zZ1p4idvNl
My office has continued to convene and facilitate countless meetings with local and federal stakeholders. This week alone, members of my staff and I have met @ElPasoTXGov, @EPCounty, @DHSgov, @WhiteHouse, and more to discuss resources and funding streams available to El Paso.
I believe in our country. It’s possible to do right by our communities those seeking a better life. There’s too much at stake for my Republican colleagues to remain unwilling to come to the table. It’s long past time to work together.
At the close of another week, we are continuing to face the choice as a nation to address challenges at our border with compassion and dignity or to choose cruelty and bigotry. For me, the choice is easy, even if the solutions are hard.
The person running the @cbpwesttexaa media account has absolutely no business being in public service. Especially if allowed to carry a gun and a badge.

This idea - near and dear to my heart - originated in our office over many discussions with constituents and current servicemembers and their families, an awesome example of conversations with El Pasoans. https://t.co/k6qhbAGOZA

Since the ribbons were cut at the new @WBAMCArmyMed, I’ve been convening critical parties to increase accessibility to WBAMC for our community’s veterans. I’m excited to see @SunMetro add service to WBAMC, an important step to connecting veterans to the healthcare they need! https://t.co/5AmQ2IwtuB

Just wrapped up an incredibly busy week for El Paso! In addition to our roundtable discussing the $600M grant for the Ysleta Port of Entry, we welcomed a very special guest back home. The @UnderSecArmy joined me as we toured @FortBlissTexas, @UTEP, and so much more. Watch https://t.co/INByw5HCvy
Positive environments can be lifesaving for LGBTQ+ youth. That’s why I was proud to meet with the newly formed El Paso Gay-Straight Alliance Board, whose members are doing great things in our community. I look forward to working together as we fight for LGBTQ+ El Pasoans. https://t.co/lHI5MvTq1t

There are no longer wildfire seasons – there are wildfire years. Today, I voted for the Wildfire Response & Drought Resiliency Act because communities impacted by these disasters deserve the best approach to fighting the flames and recovering from unprecedented conditions. https://t.co/mhPjTIVdCs
Growing up in a community like mine, #LatinoConservationWeek is deeply personal. El Paso has so many places to enjoy nature like Lost Dog trail or Castner Range. Hiking the Franklin Mountains during the pandemic has been a vital part of staying mentally and physically healthy! https://t.co/kDcqNyhoGD QT @LCVoters: @HispanicCaucus @SenAlexPadilla @RepCardenas @RepCarbajal @RepEscobar @RepBarragan @RepEspaillat @ChispaLcv… https://t.co/yAz5MHoKaH)

Another senseless death during Operation Lone Star. These servicemembers should be with their families, instead of being used as political props. @GregAbbott_TX, send them home. https://t.co/RIhWI4HYDD

The Republicans’ War on Women has never been more dangerous. Today, I’m proud to vote for the Women’s Health Protection Act to ensure women across this country have access to abortion and the freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies and futures. https://t.co/kUgbShVSDp

This is frightening. And unacceptable. “When asked…if he had been consulted on the proposal, El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen said, to cheers, ‘Investigating abortions at the lowest level? No, I’m not for that in any form or fashion right now.’” https://t.co/FExwiomSEz
A deeply disappointing outcome at today's El Paso City Council. Republicans at the national and state level have a goal of criminalizing women seeking reproductive healthcare. This policy could've protected women. I'm grateful to those members of City Council who supported it.
