Nurses provide the foundation of healthcare. Their compassionate service is critical to keeping our communities safe and healthy. As we celebrate #NationalNursesWeek , please join me in thanking all the nurses in #TX18 and around the country for the crucial care they provide.

Again, out of everything we as a nation could be focused on, like helping millions of Americans get better health care, Republicans chose to focus on meaningless political games. The American people deserve better than this!

30 states and D.C. have taken action to raise teacher pay since the start of our Administration. We continue to call on states to give public school teachers a raise – because they deserve it.

Today on the floor of the United States House of Representatives, Republicans spent the day not debating health care or anything you care about. They spent the day debating… dishwashers. What a true waste of time — Congress must get back to focusing on the people’s work!

Like Jill says, "Teaching isn’t just a job. It’s a calling." She knows that in her bones, and I know every educator who joined us at the White House for the first-ever Teacher State Dinner lives out that truth every day.

Barricades are in place for your safety. Flood waters contain many things that are harmful to your health. Protect yourself and others by leaving them in place.

Those in the affected San Jacinto River areas should evacuate while they can. If you don't evacuate now, you are endangering yourself and our first responders. "There is no sense in putting them or yourself in any danger." -Chief Samual Pena
