This Veterans Day, I'm reminded of the generations of Americans who put service above self and answered a call greater than their own.
To every veteran in House District 130 and across Texas, thank you for your service. We owe you a debt of gratitude that can never fully be repaid.
Happy Veterans Day!

Patients shouldn't be buried in medical debt for care they qualify to receive for free.
A new investigation from @tradeoffspod and @KFFHealthNews found that nearly half of Texas nonprofit hospitals say they bill patients before screening them for financial assistance.
Last session, I introduced legislation to require nonprofit hospitals to screen eligible patients for financial aid before sending a bill. I plan to bring this legislation back in 2027.
Nonprofit hospitals receive significant tax benefits in exchange for serving their communities. It's time we hold them accountable for delivering on that promise.

Facts are facts
Texas residential electricity rates in the competitive areas are the SAME as they were on the last day of regulation (12/31/2001): 10.2c/kwh. That’s a 48% real decrease, accounting for general inflation. Muni/coop rates are also low. @GinaHinojosaTX #txlege #affordability
Yes we will.

MICHIGAN. FWIW, Haley Stevens’ price for endorsing El-Sayed was something nearly every Dem could agree with:
1. Denounce Hamas.
2. Recognize Israel has a basic right to exist, and
3. Denounce an overtly antisemitic ad.
Instead, El-Sayed uninvited Stevens from his big rally yesterday. So, today she is campaigning with Mike Rogers.

None of this seen in US media, at least not that I have found. It's an incredible story! Lesson I learned from four years of living in Europe is how shockingly indifferent (and political) US media is toward what's really happening in Europe ... if it violates the Narrative.
Que força e determinação revelou o povo polaco! Unido, de cabeça erguida e a cantar o seu hino, saiu à rua e conseguiu travar o golpe de Estado.
Sem vandalismo, sem saquear lojas e sem destruição. Uma demonstração de coragem, união e patriotismo na defesa da liberdade e da democracia.
São um exemplo para todo o Ocidente! 🇵🇱
