The House passed #HR8 and #HR1112—bipartisan bills that will protect our communities from gun violence—over 160 days ago. Yet the Senate refuses to take action on our legislation. Watch my interview w/ @cbs11jack to discuss why they need to step up and #DoSomething. https://t.co/njjRYcbGg2 — PolitiTweet.org

#ICE should prioritize the deportation of criminals and those who pose a high national security risk, not those who are following the law and working to make a better life for their families. We have got to do better than this. — PolitiTweet.org

Hundreds of kids went to sleep without their parents last night and today they are waking up not knowing when they will see them again. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I had the privilege to welcome back and kick off the upcoming school year with the hardworking teachers of the Everman Independent School District in Tarrant County. Thank you all for your service! https://t.co/rVCMKzJfTR — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join my colleagues today to demand that the Senate comes back to pass the House’s bipartisan legislation that will help prevent gun violence and save lives. #EnoughIsEnough — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to join my colleagues in sending a letter to @CBPMarkMorgan on the unlawful detention of U.S. citizens. Placing U.S. citizens under detention is unacceptable and we must prevent this from ever happening again. Read my full statement here: https://t.co/kSU0NnuTK8 — PolitiTweet.org

President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law 54 years ago today. It's time for Congress to work together to fully #RestoreTheVOTE and pass legislation to modernize our democracy. #VRA54 https://t.co/AyEGfZSCiC — PolitiTweet.org

America must stand together to stop this hatred and keep our communities safe. — PolitiTweet.org

29 innocent lives were lost in less than 24 hours in acts of domestic terrorism across America just this weekend. The hate and vitriol that our President spews towards immigrants and people of color inspired these terrorists to act. https://t.co/8O2ccXAX1C — PolitiTweet.org

Let us keep them and our brave first responders in our thoughts as we continue to gather the facts about this horrific event. One thing we do know: it's past time for common sense gun reform. We are praying for you, El Paso. — PolitiTweet.org

I am absolutely heartbroken by today’s shooting in my home state of Texas. My heart goes out to the victims and their families that were impacted by this senseless act of violence. https://t.co/y5tuDOCCYR — PolitiTweet.org

No one should be experiencing these conditions for any reason, certainly not mothers who are still kids themselves. Cruelty to immigrant teen moms is the exact opposite of American values. https://t.co/dm6OBBCZA9 — PolitiTweet.org

Proud of the role Fort Worth continues to play in our national defense. Use them well @158FighterWing! — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to everyone who came out to today’s Grant Writing Workshop! It is a privilege to be able to help connect Texans doing great work in our community with the resources they need. Together, we can strengthen our Metroplex and help our #TX33 community. https://t.co/60nFkm9n80 — PolitiTweet.org

As disturbing as this footage is, I’m glad the public has a chance to see it. We need this transparency – and law enforcement should be clear that allowing the public to verify their accounts is necessary to earn the trust of the communities they serve. https://t.co/4vcBBRmlfa — PolitiTweet.org

54 years ago, President Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law. These programs help millions of Americans stay healthy and free. In Congress, I stand with my fellow @HouseDemocrats in working to protect and strengthen Medicare and Medicaid for generations to come. https://t.co/cMxEbOgRE1 — PolitiTweet.org

A wall won’t make us any safer — but the Supreme Court giving the President the power to overrule Congress on the appropriation of funds is a danger to the constitutional separation of powers and our entire system of government. Every American should be concerned. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not a dog whistle if everyone can hear it. I stand with @RepCummings. — PolitiTweet.org

Emmett Till was a young boy that was tortured and murdered just because of the color of his skin. Yesterday should have been his 78th birthday. This act is completely unacceptable and disrespectful to him and to everyone else that faced racist acts of violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Annoyed by robocalls? You’re not alone. Nearly HALF of all calls placed to cell phones this year will be scam calls. That’s why I voted for the #StopBadRobocalls Act to end the onslaught of robocalls once and for all. Read my full statement here: https://t.co/SrgXDgBPs6 — PolitiTweet.org

Interns keep Capitol Hill running. This #NationalInternDay, Team Veasey is celebrating our all-star interns: Alex, Ben, and Tylik! I thank them for coming to be a part of Congress and assisting #TX33 constituents every day! https://t.co/eLzwplJeze — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve seen the poor conditions migrant children are held in first-hand. That’s why I joined my Democratic colleagues in passing this important legislation to make those children safer. — PolitiTweet.org

I fully expect that GOP state leaders will continue their assault on the protections within the Voting Rights Act and our Constitution, and I fully intend to fight back. Read my full statement here: https://t.co/mSPDCrUHjS — PolitiTweet.org

Today's court ruling shows how Texas Republicans have undermined the voting rights of Texans of color. That's why I’m so frustrated that the court declined to require federal oversight of Texas' redistricting process. https://t.co/NCelg6pFHs — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday’s Senate vote finished what the House started. This is long overdue for these heroic first responders. Their courage and heroism inspired us all in one of our nation’s darkest days. #Renew911VCF — PolitiTweet.org
