This bill locks in the Trump tax cuts, reins in reckless spending, defunds Biden’s radical agenda, and restores order at our southern border. After four years of open-border chaos, crushing inflation, and government overreach, this legislation puts working Americans first. It lifts the burden off small businesses, protects taxpayer dollars, and ensures that our government serves the people, not the other way around.

For decades, Harvard has stood as the glistening tower on the hill of American academia—an institution families sacrificed generations of sweat and savings to access. To have a child at Harvard was to win a golden ticket: elite credentials, lifetime connections, and intellectual prestige. But peel back the ivy, and what lies beneath is nothing short of academic rot—and it stinks to high heaven.
Last November, 77 million Americans demanded change, and this vote – where House Republicans united to pass the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" – will go down in history as "Promises Made, Promises Kept." It reverses four years of failed Democrat policies, restores U.S. energy dominance, delivers vital support to farmers & ranchers, will securing historic tax cuts for hardworking families, and reins in government spending.

The proposed law would prevent state agencies such as the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the State Board of Education (SBOE) from creating or enforcing their own regulations on homeschooling.
The Biden-Harris White House abdicated its duties to secure the homeland and created the Border Crisis. Thankfully, Gov. Abbott stood up 'Operation Lone Star' to fill in the gap, defend the border, and keep Texans as safe as possible – at a cost of over $11 billion to Texas. For months I’ve worked on legislation to reimburse Texas for those costs, and am proud to announce that the House Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill does just that!

As the left-wing corporate media engages in Trump Derangement Syndrome over poll numbers, which are all over the place, they never mention the fact that no matter how bad any numbers they find or manufacture about Donald Trump, they will never be as bad as the numbers for Democrats. Any Democrat. They are about as popular with the American people as an infected toe. Which would you rather have, an infected toe or a flaming case of Pelosi?
Of all the dangers facing our country today, perhaps the greatest is one that doesn’t make headlines – our collective national amnesia and how our children are given little sense of our nation's greatness. In fact, children are increasingly taught the exact opposite. I'm often struck by how many American children have nothing good to say about our country.
“We have been working diligently with the House, in countless meetings and thoughtful discussions, throughout the session to create the most effective School Finance Bill in Texas history.

"The truth is, our schools have become soft targets for twisted, evil individuals. I’m a dad of six – I share the same worries that Parents & Grandparents across America do when it comes to the safety of our kids in the classroom. That’s why I am fully committed to safeguard our schools," said South Texas Cong. Tony Gonzales.
One reason the public turned on The Looney Left's DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) indoctrination efforts was its insistence that some 70% of the country was stereotyped as "victimizers" – by virtue of their skin color. Absurd. The other "diverse" 30%, by contrast, were considered the "victimized." But human nature is universal – and transcends race.
“Over the last four years, Americans suffered – chaos on our Border, crime ridden streets, a cost-of-living crisis that decimated families and left them more vulnerable. America was weaker, and more divided than it had been in generations. Then, Americans gave President Trump a historic mandate and a Republican Congress to reverse course – and this bill will do exactly that," said House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington.
"For the past four years, American families have been squeezed by out-of-control inflation, reckless spending, and open border chaos. President Trump promised to fight for working, everyday Americans, and this bill proves he’s delivering. It takes the boot off the neck of small businesses, puts more money in the pockets of families, and restores sanity to our border and welfare programs,” said Cong. Brian Babin.
