According to the National Weather Service, an incoming tropical weather system is expected to bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and the potential for flooding to portions of South Texas and the Texas Gulf Coast. These impacts may lead to hazardous travel conditions and dangerous flash flooding in some areas. Texans are urged to take precautions now by preparing an emergency plan, packing an emergency supply kit, following the directions of local officials, and keeping essential supplies readily available.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick issued the following statement upon the Texas Senate’s unanimous passage of Senate Bill 1, Natural Disaster Preparation and Recovery, by Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock; Senate Bill 2, Flood Emergency Communication and Warning, by Sen. Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston; and Senate Bill 3, Relief Funding for Hill Country, by Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston.“The Texas Senate will continue passing these essential bills each legislative session until House Democrats return from their ‘vacation’ and get back to work for the people of Texas.”

Congressman Gonzales joined Terrell County Sheriff Thad Cleveland and Texas DPS Helicopter pilots, Jimmy Morris and Chavez, to see President Trump’s border security policies in action. Congressman Gonzales represents the largest border district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Through his seat on the House Committee on Homeland Security, he advanced President Trump’s border provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that was signed into law in July. 

The abandoned vessels also detracted from the beauty and safety of highly trafficked fishing and recreational boating spots in Offatts Bay. They were left in high-visibility areas near residential properties, beachfront restaurants, and Galveston Island's main bridge. Removing these unsightly hazards will help support tourism and commerce on the island. The Gulf of America Alliance is a regional partnership focused on enhancing the environmental and economic health of the region through increased collaboration.

This week’s cliffhanger? “We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country.” In Maddow’s latest monologue, she painted Trump’s America as a police-state nightmare — “secret police” supposedly prowling for immigrants, civil life grinding to a halt, the entire nation undergoing a “profound” transformation in just six months. If you closed your eyes, you’d think she was describing Venezuela with better lighting.

There are two big factors reshaping American politics & government right now – and their impacts run deep. First, President Trump is committed to real change – creating better jobs, more affordability, and better take-home pay. And second, the Democrat's wave of Big Government Socialism & Radical Values is driving voters away at a devasting pace. Neither factor will change anytime soon, and they're changing Voter Registration Patterns.

“Today – with a week remaining in the Special Session – the Texas Senate completed work on all the items on Gov. Abbott’s call. ​​​In one day, the Senate passed 10 bills, including a new Congressional Map, disaster preparedness and July 4th Flood Relief, and more. House Democrats face a simple choice: return to the Capitol and do the job they were elected to do, or continue their ‘vacation’ staging a media circus."

The Texas A&M Forest Service has raised the Wildland Fire Preparedness Level to Level 2, indicating that elevated fire danger is observed in some regions of the state. Texans are urged to implement wildfire prevention measures, including avoiding activities that may cause sparks or flames, making an emergency plan, following instructions from local officials, and keeping emergency supplies easily available.

The Mission is Clear: Return to the moon, go on to Mars – and do it fast, first & right. President Trump recognized this from the start. Early in his first term he signed the "NASA Transition Authorization Act of 2017" and the "Space Policy Directive-1," directing NASA to return to the moon – and go beyond. His actions reignited America. If China plants their flag first, they will set the rules for the moon and beyond, a scenario we cannot allow.

There's a reason he should be upset. California companies are pulling up in droves and moving to the Lone Star State or elsewhere. But that isn't what's bothering him. Newsom cares about politics and power, not markets and business. He's upset that the Texas state legislature is moving to redistricting that could add up to five Republican seats in 2026.

As the debate intensifies in the Texas Capitol, a dangerous and misleading narrative is taking root that the state’s narrowly tailored medical marijuana program (TCUP) can somehow serve as a full replacement for the thriving, diverse, and federally legal market of hemp-derived THC products. This is not only false, it's a manufactured choice that threatens to strip 1,000s of Texans of access to safe, affordable, and constitutionally protected alternatives.

According to the National Weather Service, a storm system moving across the state may generate severe thunderstorms with potential to cause flash flooding beginning tonight. This threat is anticipated across the Northwest Texas region, including the Panhandle, and is expected to shift toward North Texas as we reach the middle portion of the week. Additionally, the National Weather Service is monitoring the Southeast corner of the state this evening. 

The school year starts as early as this week and next across the country – and the Education Blob is having a panic attack that more and more children are now taking advantage of their option to leave public schools. Thanks to school choice victories, as many as an additional million kids will be enrolled in charter schools, or private, or Catholic, or religious schools this fall. Parents whose kids have gained access to better schools? They're feeling liberated. 

Miller said that other tools like the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which was used in fighting against the screwworm threat from the 1930s to the 1970s, will still play an important role, but it’s no longer enough. Miller said that relying only on sterile flies is outdated and that new and improved approaches are required. He said TDA Swormlure marks a new chapter in prevention, supported by science, intended for widespread use, and created with smarter tools and a stronger defense.

Senator Adam Hinojosa announced today that his office has secured Ten Commandments posters for every public school classroom in Senate District 27 to support full compliance with Senate Bill 10, recently signed into law by Governor Abbott during the 89th Texas Legislature. SB 10 requires public schools to display a framed or poster-sized copy of the Ten Commandments in each classroom.

Adam Schiff has always had that smug “I know something you don’t know” smirk. This week, a Democratic whistleblower—someone who worked in Schiff’s own House orbit for more than a decade—told the FBI that Schiff personally approved leaking classified material in order to smear Donald Trump. Not a rumor. Not a guess. Not an “I heard it from a guy.” The whistleblower alleges Schiff gave the order in a general staff meeting. Translation: he wanted an audience for his treachery.

“Consumers have the ability to spend on household priorities, as wages are growing above the rate of inflation,” said National Retail Federation President & CEO Matthew Shay, as the organization released its July "Retail Monitor Report" showing core retail sales – which excludes restaurant and car & gas purchases – increased nearly 6% year over year. And, total sales were up 4.83% year over year for the first seven months of 2025.

Governor Greg Abbott joined the Vaqueros del Mar Texas Flood Relief Fund earlier today as they presented $25,000 checks – raised during last month’s “Strait to the Heart” benefit concert by Country Music Legend and Texas resident George Strait – to help assist families who suffered severe storm damage or lost their homes during the catastrophic Hill Country floods. The concert raised over $6 million dollars.
