  1. CW: #uspol

    Whenever you see a headline that's like "6 Democrats cross aisle" you can know immediately that one of them is going to be anti-abortion rights Democrat Henry Cuellar, the guy Pelosi recorded robocalls for to help him defeat the pro-abortion rights candidate in the Texas primary. All the senior #Democrat leadership closed ranks for him. He won by a hair.

  3. CW: Occasional Foul Language. Always Political.

    Early reporting did not include Henry Cuellar (TX-28) in the reporting, but the Official House Roll Call shows that he was the 6th Democrat. Add him to the list!

  13. 7 House #Democrats Vote With #GOP to Give #ICE More Money Despite Deadly Invasions of #USCities

    “The billions in funding in this bill will only embolden ICE and CBP to continue arresting our neighbors—immigrant and US citizen alike,” warned one ACLU attorney.

    Jessica Corbett
    Jan 22, 2026

    Excerpt: "Democratic Reps. #HenryCuellar (Texas), #DonDavis (NC), #LauraGillen (NY), #JaredGolden (Maine), #VicenteGonzalez (Texas), #MarieGluesenkampPerez (Wash.), and #TomSuozzi (NY) joined all Republicans but Rep. Thomas Massie (KY) for the 220-207 vote that sent the legislation to the Senate—where the GOP also has a majority, but it’s so narrow that most bills need some Democratic support to pass.

    "House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) notably refused to pressure members of his caucus to oppose the bill, even though voters clearly oppose federal operations featuring violence and lawlessness by agents with Customs and Border Protection (#CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) everywhere from California and #Illinois, to #Minnesota and #Maine."

    Trump pardoned #Texas Democratic Rep #HenryCuellar & his wife in a federal #bribery & conspiracy case Wednesday, citing what he called a “weaponized” justice system.

    Trump, who has argued that his own legal troubles were a witch hunt, said on social media that the congressman & his wife, Imelda, were prosecuted because Cuellar had been critical of President Joe #Biden’s #immigration policies. [or, ya know, cuz they took bribes.]

  24. @BlueWaver22 then there’s the fact that the President’s son, #HunterBiden, goes on trial this coming week. Democrat Sen #BobMenendez’s #criminal trial is underway. Democrat Rep #HenryCuellar was indicted. But apparently the #DOJ was correct in their actions charging all of them acc/to #Republicans. It’s only #Trump / #MAGARepublicans whose indictments, trials & judgements that are being run by the *corrupt justice system*.

  30. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas, wife indicted over ties to Azerbaijan | AP News

    Democratic U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas and his wife were indicted on conspiracy and bribery charges and taken into custody Friday in connection with a U.S. Department of Justice probe into the couple’s ties to the former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan.

    From 2014 to 2021, Cuellar, 68, and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijan-controlled energy company and a bank in Mexico, and in exchange, Cuellar agreed to advance the interests of the country and the bank in the U.S., according to the indictment.

    Among other things, Cuellar agreed to influence legislation favorable to Azerbaijan and deliver a pro-Azerbaijan speech on the floor of the U.S. House, the indictment states.

    The Department of Justice said the couple surrendered to authorities on Friday and were taken into custody. They made an initial appearance before a federal judge in Houston and were each released on $100,000 bond, the DOJ said.
