    The Trump administration is hurting immigrant families by penalizing those who legally seek a green card or visa and use programs like SNAP, housing assistance, or Medicare. We are beginning to see how this rule has hindered families in Houston.

    In , nearly 50k could be covered. By rejecting Medicaid expansion, Texas forgoes its citizens’ access to affordable and comprehensive health care by giving up billions in economic benefits. It is time to expand Medicaid in Texas and do the right things for Texans.

    According to a new report, 20 percent of low-income people in non-Medicaid expansion states did not get needed medical care in the past 12 months due to cost. Expanding Medicaid is as much of a good deal for states as it is for patients.

    The indefinite detention of minors, in questionable facilities, will negatively impact these kids & is degrading our budget. These resources could be used for other things to make America better like infrastructure, healthcare, and better paying jobs.

    Today’s 2.8% increase is good news for seniors, survivors & people w/ disabilities who have earned benefits. As medical costs continue to grow, it’s critical that our seniors have the resources they need and depend on.

    I will continue to oppose any funding for the border wall in Congress, which is opposed by a majority of Texans for good reason – it will harm our economy, our border communities, and our close ties with Mexico. We already have barriers and protection on our border.

    is a great bill that will help improve flood mitigation and water infrastructure projects targeting low-income communities. I'm thankful that language I worked on to give water systems more flexibility to restructure or consolidate was included in the final passage.

    99-1: Senate passes water infrastructure bill. Lee was only Senator to vote No. WRDA passed House by voice vote last month and now heads to White House.
