Progressive Views: Fixing Immigration and Border Security for the Long Term

Immigration and border security enforcement have gone haywire. The current government is building concentration camps and sending innocent people, along with criminals, to these camps and to countries that they don’t hail from, all without due process. The only solution that a vast majority of the American public want is complete control of the border, deportation of undocumented criminals, a vibrant and consistent immigration program to keep our economy growing, and most of all a pathway to stay and work here for the vast majority of undocumented folks with long term ties and no criminal record.

Progressive Views: TxLege’s Redistricting Fiasco

After months of speculation, the President finally told Texas Congressional Republicans earlier in July that he aims to gain five seats from the mid-census redistricting in Texas. Instead of using this Special Session to provide flood relief and disaster mitigation, Gov. Abbott is exploiting the tragedy to serve the President’s unpopular and damaging agenda. Texas needs a non-partisan districting commission to keep both parties from playing the gerrymandering game.

Progressive Views: Lies, Lies and More Lies

Donald Trump has consistently and egregiously lied since the beginning of his political career to the point where there is a dangerous and reprehensible disregard for truth and the U.S. Constitution and democracy itself. This disregard is undermining the economy and leaves the U.S. with a deficit of more than $36 trillion.

Progressive Views: Antisemitism Must End

We have recently seen two horrendous attacks on innocent Jewish people. The attacks expressed continued hatred of the Jews by many Americans. This coupled with a 360% surge in anti-Jewish hate in the U.S. according to the ADL, and a rise in political violence in the U.S. as evidenced by the assassination of Melissa Hortman, means we must condemn antisemitism and all forms of hatred and bigotry.

Progressive Views: Hurricane Season with a Side of Funding Cuts

In this hurricane season, NOAA has predicted 13-19 named storms with 6-10 as hurricanes and 3-5 of those as major. Musk's DOGE has begun the decimation of NOAA by firing probationary employees and impounding (illegally) Congressional appropriated funds. Many wonder if the U.S. will be able to handle this storm season or if lives will be needlessly lost by the administration's decisions and incompetence. Texas will not fare well with these decisions so contact your reps and senators.

Progressive Views: Buy American

In the 40 years since manufacturing employment peaked, industry has struggled to regain the prominence it once had. Sizeable job losses occurred within durable goods manufacturing. CEO compensation has shot up over 1000% versus a typical worker who has seen only a 24% increase. The current administration’s attacks on workers’ rights and dismantling of critical federal agencies have left workers with fewer rights and have put the U.S. economy on a path toward an economic downturn.

Progressive Views: Tariffs Aren’t “Terrific”

Trump's tariffs constitute an enormous tax on Americans and will result in higher prices, reduced choice, and likely loss of jobs in America. harm every American consumer, but particularly the hourly and middle-class worker, with higher prices. The tariffs harm the average American worker planning for retirement and those already retired, by destroying the value of the very investments relied on by those workers.

Progressive Views: Save the National Park Service

The National Park Service has the most favorable rating of any government agency, has bipartisan support, reported their highest visitation in history, and puts billions of dollars back into the economy. Nevertheless, the new administration has conducted massive firings and threatened to close visitor centers. Contact your reps to oppose these cuts.

Progressive Views: Contact Legislators on Two Terrible Bills

The Texas Legislature is about a month into its every-other-year session, and they are considering quite a few awful bills, including school vouchers, but also an elimination to countywide voting and the SAVE act which requires all Americans to provide a birth certificate, passport, or one of a few other citizenship documents every time they register or re-register to vote.
