According to Minnesota’s political class—and the federal judge they are hoping will indulge them—federal immigration law is binding except when local officials find it inconvenient, uncomfortable, or politically risky. In those moments, the thinking goes, the state can simply ask a court to restrain Immigration and Customs Enforcement and call it “constitutional balance.” Thankfully, the Trump administration is having none of it.
Today marks one year of President Trump being back in in the White House, and the results are unmistakable. Manufacturing is returning home, private investment is surging, working families are finally getting real relief through meaningful tax cuts that put more money back in their pockets, and gas and grocery prices are down. At the border, ICE crackdowns and tough enforcement have restored Law & Order and cartels are on the run.
“The Radical Left has taken up a senseless crusade against our brave men and women in Law Enforcement, and Democrats’ inflammatory rhetoric has fueled an alarming rise in violence that not only endangers our communities, but also harms the very people sworn to keep them safe,” said Sen. Cornyn, introducing his "ICE Protection Act" bill with James Lankford (R-OK), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Steve Daines (R-MT) earlier today.
Governor Greg Abbott delivered remarks at the Dallas Police Department's Assist the Officer Foundation’s 32nd annual Cops' Cop banquet last night, and thanked the police officers for their dedication to protect Texas citizens and uphold the rule of law every day. The Governor also highlighted the Back the Blue legislation he signed into law this past session - the strongest bail reform package in history - which ended the revolving door for violent criminals and is taking violent criminals off our streets.
"As Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, my colleagues and I have unveiled a framework for a second reconciliation bill that we'll call 'Making the American Dream Affordable Again.' This comprehensive plan takes direct aim at reversing the failed policies of the Biden-Harris Administration with a clear, actionable strategy to restore the American Dream of homeownership and rebuilding the American Family," said Cong. Pfluger.
You probably haven’t thought about Don Lemon in... well, ever. Why would you? No one watched him when he was on CNN, which is a big part of the reason he’s no longer at CNN. And, he’s only doubled down on everything people found annoying about him when he was easy to find. But, after Sunday, add him to the list of Moronic Leftists running around Minnesota doing all they can to protect Illegal Alien Criminals – and it has to stop.
On Fox News Sunday, U.S. Senator John Cornyn joined Shannon Bream to discuss the latest in Iran, Greenland and Venezuela, as President Donald Trump puts American interests first around the world and highlighted his conservative voting record. "My voting record is consistently in support of the President's policies, I’ve been supportive of President Trump, and I have a good relationship with him.”
In 1996, as an attorney at the Department of Justice, I prosecuted the Johnny Chung case, which uncovered that China was funneling money into the campaign coffers of the DNC. They wanted to influence our presidential election in favor of Bill Clinton because they believed his administration would give them greater access to sensitive U.S. technology. China wanted our technology back then, and they still want it today.
The United States Coast Guard announced a landmark $200 million expansion and rebuild of the Coast Guard Station in South Padre Island (SPI). Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, secured this money for SPI in the Working Families Tax Cut Act. The funding represents the largest award for a shore infrastructure construction project in Coast Guard history.
Governor Greg Abbott delivered remarks at the Texas Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Mid-Winter conference, which honors the brave service members who served our nation on foreign lands. The Governor was joined by VFW State Commander Dave Walden, VFW Officer of the Day Willie Keller, VFW State Chaplain Jim Russell, and other veterans and advocates. During his remarks, Governor Abbott thanked the men and women who put on the uniform and serve their country abroad.
For evangelicals who take both Scripture and history seriously, Martin Luther King Jr. deserves neither hagiography nor dismissal. He deserves understanding. That requires resisting the modern temptation to flatten him into a one-dimensional symbol—either a sainted mascot for every contemporary political cause or a villain dismissed because he does not fit neatly into today’s ideological boxes. The real King was far more interesting, far more challenging, and far more explicitly Christian than either camp prefers to admit.
“Texas is where the integrated circuit began, and where the future of the Semiconductor Industry is being built. This $223 million investment by Tekscend Photomask will further strengthen manufacturing in Texas, and will lead the American resurgence in semiconductor manufacturing and technologies of tomorrow," said Gov. Abbott, announcing the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF) grant for essential components in chip production.
When Sect. of State Marco Rubio moved to shut down the USAID (Agency for International Development ) in January 2025, he noted it had largely become a global charity for non-profit grifters. Now, even the recipients of the foreign aid racket admit it inhibits true Economic Development. For instance, Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema has stepped forward to publicly agree with Rubio's new policy, and says cuts to U.S. foreign aid were "long overdue."
“As America continues to make advances in space exploration & technology, it’s important for our astronauts and researchers to be able to collaborate with the private sector to bolster our competitive edge,” said Sen. Cornyn. The Public Private Talent Exchange Program (PPTE) would be a professional development program focused on giving NASA and industry professionals an opportunity to gain exposure and experience in a variety of subject and skill areas.

Minnesota? Somalis? Nine billion dollars in alleged welfare theft or fraud? Minnesota's state & city lawsuits to block Federal Law Enforcement efforts there is in open defiance of the Constitution - and stands out as Absurd Legal Theory. It's not merely wrongheaded, it's reckless. Gov. Walz & Mayor Frey are standing in the moral tradition of 1960s Segregationist Governors George Wallace (D-AL) and Ross Barnett (D-MS) by urging and inciting resistance to Lawful Federal Authority.
U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX), John Kennedy (R-LA), Rick Scott (R-FL), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) today introduced the Stop Fraud by Strengthening Oversight and More Accountability for Lying and Illegal Activity (Stop Fraud by SOMALIA) Act, which would strengthen penalties for child care providers who commit fraud and impose immigration consequences on fraudulent child care providers who are not U.S. citizens, making them inadmissible and deportable:
