Ken Paxton just filed a lawsuit to remove me from office. But this seat doesn’t belong to him or me — it belongs to the people. My message to Ken Paxton: Come and take it.

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab. Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us. It’s time to fight back.
