U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.) introduced the Fiscal Accountability for Interest on Reserves (FAIR) Act to eliminate the Federal Reserve’s authority to pay interest on bank reserves. Since 2008, the Federal Reserve’s policy of paying interest on bank reserves has resulted in more than $580 billion in payouts to banks. Companion legislation was introduced in the House by Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio-08).

Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Chairman Bryan Daniel was recently appointed to serve as President of the NYSE Texas. He will conclude his service to TWC on August 10, 2025. Bryan Daniel was originally appointed by Governor Greg Abbott on July 29, 2019, to represent the interests of the public on TWC’s three-member Commission. During his six years with TWC, Chairman Daniel championed the growth of Texas’ workforce and spearheaded strategies to support the state’s business climate.

“Senate Bill 9 further reduces the rollback rate for large cities and counties to 2.5%, ensuring out-of-control local governments cannot keep driving up Texans’ tax bills. During the regular session, the Texas Senate increased the homestead exemption to $140,000 for all homeowners, and $200,000 for seniors. This increase ensures that the average Texas senior homeowner will never pay school property taxes for the rest of their life."

This bill addresses that issue by allocating $50 billion to expand and upgrade rural hospitals, develop mobile clinics, and boost telemedicine infrastructure. It also tackles one of the main obstacles to rural healthcare: the absence of reliable, high-speed internet. Without broadband, telemedicine cannot function. This legislation aims to bridge that digital divide so that patients in remote areas can access care without losing time, money, or compromising their well-being.

This is what has happened in the Sydney Sweeney storm. An ad for American Eagle blue jeans and especially the reaction to it catapulted the 27-year-old actress to national fame and controversy. Move over Taylor Swift! In case you weren't paying attention, the ad shows Sweeney reclining while zipping up a pair of jeans and flashing a little cleavage. What sparked the woke left's attention and outrage was the ad copy which invoked a double meaning: "It's not just good genes. Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." Critics claim the ad promotes eugenics.

Governor Greg Abbott today filed an emergency petition in the Supreme Court of Texas seeking to remove from office Texas State Representative Gene Wu, the ringleader of the derelict Democrats who fled the state to break quorum. The lawsuit also spotlights how Wu and other Texas House Democrats appear to have solicited and received certain benefits in exchange for skipping a vote, further supporting their removal from office and allegations of bribery.  

After years of reckless taxing and spending, we’ve returned to real economic leadership under President Trump. Our GDP is climbing as the American economy grew by three percent in the second quarter. Inflation is under control, consumer confidence is up, and wages are rising. Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill, American families are keeping more of their hard-earned money in their pockets.

Eileen Cunningham is a mother of four and grandmother of three with another on the way. The wife of "Goose" Cunningham -- when you are from Hazelwood, everyone has a nickname -- possesses the unique quality of bringing people together to form communities. How? The natural athlete coached girls' hockey, track and field, cross country and basketball at the school her children attended when no one else stepped up.

It starts in East St. Louis, Illinois, moves steadily north to Springfield, home of Abraham Lincoln about 90 miles away, and then takes a sharp turn east before reaching Decatur & Champaign about 80 miles away from Springfield. It’s less a Congressional District than a road trip – and it bears a resemblance to the original "gerrymander" of 1812. The only point of the new 13th-District lines in Democrat-controlled Illinois was to flip the seat to a Democrat.

Reports indicate that many absentee Texas House Democrats have solicited or received funds to evade conducting legislative business and casting votes. Under the Texas Penal Code, any of those Democrats who solicit, accept, or agree to accept such funds to assist in the violation of legislative duties or for purposes of skipping a vote may have violated bribery laws. Also, it could be a bribery violation for any other person who offers, provides, or agrees to provide such funds to fleeing Democrat House members.

Even though the Biden administration is gone, the damage it caused lives on, especially in the courts. Radical judges, many of them appointed by Biden and even Obama, are now the frontline of resistance against President Trump’s agenda. These unelected activists are blocking deportations midair, shielding violent criminals, and openly defying the Constitution to undermine the will of the American people.

Employees at the Railroad Commission of Texas demonstrated remarkable generosity and community spirit by raising $9,695 to support relief efforts for those impacted by recent flooding in Central Texas. The fundraising campaign engaged the agency’s statewide employees who made voluntary monetary contributions. The funds raised will go directly to the nonprofit partners currently providing rescue, relief and recovery assistance in the areas hardest hit by the natural disaster.

Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock today said state sales tax revenue totaled $4.19 billion in July, 4.9 percent more than in July 2024. The majority of July sales tax revenue is based on sales made in June and remitted to the agency in July. Total sales tax revenue for the three months ending in July 2025 was up 4 percent compared with the same period a year ago. Sales tax is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 58 percent of all tax collections.

When CNN is comparing Democrats to a “hoarder’s basement” and flatly saying their “image is garbage,” something tectonic has shifted. No, that’s not hyperbole. That’s the direct quote from Harry Enten, CNN’s own data analyst, who—God bless him—finally told a sliver of the truth. He looked at the Democratic Party's current state and couldn't resist calling it what the rest of America already knows it to be: a broken, festering, overflowing disaster of dysfunction and decay.

“Real Texans don't run from a fight – but that’s exactly what Texas House Democrats just did," said Gov. Greg Abbott, warning of the numerous & potential legal consequences for the 50-plus Democrats who've fled to Chicago, Boston, or Albany, New York. “They’ve shirked their responsibilities under the direction and pressure of out-of-state politicians and activists who don’t know the first thing about what is right for Texas,” said House Speaker Dustin Burrows.

For months former CIA Director John Brennan was on “Morning Joe” and other outlets spinning unhinged conspiratorial rants by using his former position to suggest much more would be divulged – yet he admitted to Special Counsel Investigators there'd been “no conspiracy” of Russian "collusion" to help Donald Trump in the 2016 Election. To understand what little regard Brennan has for truth, let's recall a 2020 email uncovered by the House Judiciary Committee.

On the eve of 2016's Election, President Obama's CIA Director John Brennan sent a “Fusion Cell” memo to Mr. Obama summarizing all the most secret intelligence the agency had collected on Donald Trump – and Russia. Brennan’s Nov. 6 Memo concluded: “Putin expected [Hillary Clinton] to win.” But then in early December – as Mr. Trump's stunning victory rocked Democrats to the bone – Obama ordered a "new assessment," and Brennan took the lead.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), joined by Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), and John Boozman (R-Ark.), introduced the SkyFoundry Act of 2025 to establish a drone production facility, SkyFoundry, at the Red River Army Depot (RRAD) in Texarkana, Texas. This bill will allow RRAD to develop, produce, and field drones for the Department of Defense. Companion legislation was introduced in the House by Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-N.C.-10).
