This is what it looks like when the the President does his job, and when he keeps the heat on the Federal Government to do its job — Securing our Border, Protecting our Homeland, and Providing a bold Vision for America’s Future. The crisis at our border spiraled out of control under the Biden Administration — thankfully, under President Trump, apprehensions at the border are down 94% from this time last year. From national security to medical research, President Trump is about ensuring our country remains strong.
In 2023, the Department of Health & Human Services issued a “Gender Identity Non-Discrimination & Inclusion Policy for Employees and Applicants.” Among many other harmful changes, the policy compelled speech by requiring HHS Employees & Contractors to call other employees by their “preferred pronouns” – even when the pronouns did not align with biological reality. “The Biden White House stretched anti-harassment guidance, but Congress should take action to ensure it never happens again,” said Sen. Cruz

President Trump delivered a powerful and inspiring "Joint Address to Congress" last week that showcased a stark contrast to the past four years – and in just weeks he's moved at record speed to cut reckless spending, secure our border, unleash American energy, and restore common sense to Washington.

It used to be that Americans were ashamed to be dependent upon others – but today people seem to embrace Government Dependency as if they're entitled to it. This is best described as an addiction that's destructive to liberty, and personal virtue. But, there's a new sheriff in town – in Washington, DC. President Donald Trump and his DOGE team are bringing an inspiring, no-nonsense message to government, AND its citizens — and Americans are thirsting for it. It’s time to cut the gravy train.
Last week Senator Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe) filed SB 1723 to establish a pilot program for the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to implement Rapid DNA technology, accelerating investigations and removing violent offenders from Texas communities.

Dan Patrick after bipartisan passage of Senate Bill 21, establishing the Texas Bitcoin Reserve.
Last Tuesday, President Trump delivered one of the most consequential addresses in the last two decades, reaffirming America's unwavering commitment to strength, security, and the renewal of the American Dream. His "Peace through Strength" doctrine puts our enemies on notice as February's record-low Illegal Border Crossings prove that when America has serious leadership, we get results. I've always been proud to be an American, but am incredibly proud after witnessing such a historic moment.
“After a 6-week review, we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID,” said Secretary of State Marco Rubio early Monday morning. “The 5,200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States," said Rubio, announcing that those programs being kept will fall under the purview of the State Department. Democrats are losing their minds.
"Vice President Vance, Secretary Hegseth and National Intelligence Director Gabbard – traveling to Texas to see our coordinated Border Security efforts firsthand – Texas will continue to work with the Trump Administration to Arrest, Detain & Deport Illegal Immigrants and stop the flow of deadly drugs like fentanyl into our nation," said Gov. Greg Abbott during Wednesday's Border Security Roundtable at the Eagle Pass Border Patrol Station, as the leaders explored new ways to make America safe again.

Ted Cruz to overturn a Biden administration midnight rule imposing regulations on software developers of decentralized financial (DeFi) technology. The resolution passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority, 70-28. The rule defined those developers as “brokers,” even though they did not touch any of the cryptocurrency being exchanged. The resolution is the first crypto-related measure to pass the Senate this Congress and will now head to the House.

After hearing countless stories of Texans whose lives were shattered by these silent killers, I felt it was time to create the 'Dementia Prevention & Research Institute of Texas' (DPRIT) to bring world-class Dementia researchers to Texas. With our vast resources, Texas an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of millions," said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
Fable One: President Trump is... appeasing Russia? But, of the last four U.S. Presidents, under whose watch did Putin not invade another country? Which president sold offensive weapons to Ukraine first? Who warned Germany NOT to become dependent on the Russian Nord Stream II Pipeline deal? Who withdrew from an unfair missile deal with the Russians? Who cajoled and berated NATO members to meet their military investment promises made following the 2014 invasion of Ukraine? Who?
“Under President Biden, the border was a disaster, and it was our communities that were at the eye of the storm. Within hours of taking office President Trump took decisive action – he declared Drug Cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, ended Catch & Release, and drove illegal immigration down to record lows. Thank you to Vice President JD Vance, Secretary Hegseth and Director Gabbard for showing up for us along the Southern Border today," said South Texas & Border Cong. Tony Gonzales.
