Rep. Sylvester Turner (D-Texas) died late Tuesday after serving just two months and a day in Congress, party officials said Wednesday. He was 70.
Turner, who was elected in 2024 to replace longtime Houston-area Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee following her death while in office, had attended President Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress the night of his passing.
“We were on the floor together last night. You never know for whom the bell will toll next,” Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who was ejected from the House chamber for repeatedly disrupting Trump’s remarks.

Since it’s a district in Houston, I can guarantee you that the replacement will be a “crazy-arsed lunatic” as you mentioned. Just look at the prior representatives from that district.
Oh don’t I know it.....for years but I gotta have faith......lol
Hope for the best. Oncologist can’t cure cancer. They are not God.
Because the overwhelming bulk of the Republican establishment in Texas is 100% pure Uniparty.
There’s Ken Paxton, Dan Patrick, the Congressman from the panhandle whose name I forget, and Cruz that are more-or-less MAGA.
Almost everyone else is a Bushie, to varying degrees.
Cornyn is the worst “Republican” Senator, too chicken to be a Murkowski or Collins. But 100% like them.
“Hope for the best. Oncologist can’t cure cancer. They are not God.”
Sorry for the slow response. My wife has been in the hospital.
Yes, I know that he is not God. However, I am compelled to believe what he tells me rather than to believe you because you are not an oncologist.
Besides, I am 82 with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. If cancer should return then fate and destiny have already decided for me. ;-)
My wife passed from cancer in 2023, after 6 years of treatment. I was always with her during meetings with her 3 oncologists. From my observation, cancer treatments are hit and miss. I will be age 85 in a few weeks. I am healthy as a horse. No chronic disease if any kind. I have strict discipline with diet & exercise.
