Republicans successfully brought the "SAVE America Act" to the Senate Floor for debate Tuesday, and Democrats sound like they’re in full panic mode. The talking points are predictable, and we’ve heard them all before — the usual Bogus Fear-Mongering accusations – all of it. But the concerns are all literally addressed in the text of the bill itself. So what’s the real reason they’re opposing it?

“What you’re doing is more than just a job – what you’re doing is stepping into a calling, a noble calling to serve other people," said Gov. Greg Abbott, celebrating the graduation of more than 50 Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and Certified Medication Aides (CMA,) where he was joined by Senators Adam Hinojosa and Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, as well as State Rep. Terry Canales and Dwyer Workforce Development Founder Jack Dwyer. 

​​​​​​​“I’m glad the Senate will debate this bill and hold Democrats’ feet to the fire to see who's willing to go on the record opposing Voter ID & Proof of Citizenship to vote – things that an overwhelming majority of Texans and Americans support. Let’s get it done," said Sen. Cornyn, kicking off debate on the landmark SAVE America Act, while reiterating his support for the "talking filibuster" and larger Senate rules reforms that may be needed to get the bill to President Trump's desk as soon as possible.

So far, more than 229,000 students have applied, and 2,200 schools have signed up to participate. Families do not have to select a school when they submit their application, and more schools are joining the program daily. The program is not first come, first served, so all families will be considered on a level playing field within each priority tier, regardless of when their application is submitted.

If New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani gets his way, half of everything New Yorkers work a lifetime for – including their homes, their businesses or farms, and their savings – could be stripped away on their deathbeds. No more Empire State; he'd make it the Expropriation State. Only one thing in life is certain: We all die. Mamdani is exploiting that certainty to close what he claims is a $5.4 billion city budget gap.

Since President Trump took office, House Republicans have been working to turn our country around, and the results are clear. Inflation has dropped to 2.4 percent, illegal border crossings have fallen dramatically, and Congress has passed hundreds of bills to restore fiscal responsibility, strengthen national security, and get our economy back on track. Most importantly, we promised relief for working families, and we delivered.

Governor Greg Abbott today hosted the inaugural Texas Jobs Council meeting at the Governor’s Mansion, marking a significant step in bolstering the state’s workforce and ensuring Texans are equipped for high-demand careers. The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) will play a crucial role in supporting the Council by providing administrative assistance, conducting relevant research, and facilitating connections with subject matter experts.

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) cosponsored Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO)’s Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act, which would ban the chemical abortion drug mifepristone and empower women harmed by the drug to sue its manufacturers. This legislation is endorsed by Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, Family Research Council, Alliance Defending Freedom, Concerned Women for America, Live Action, Students for Life of America, Ethics and Public Policy Center, and the American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs.

Currently, more than 2,200 schools have signed up to participate. Additional schools, vendors and education services continue to register on a rolling basis. Families had until July 15 to confirm their school selections. Since the application window opened Feb. 4, families across Texas have applied at a record pace, demonstrating strong demand for expanded education options and greater flexibility to choose the learning environment that best meets their children’s needs.

The duty of statesmen is not to follow public opinion, but to lead it. In moments of crisis, leaders are not called to read the polls — they are called to rise above them. And that is exactly what President Donald Trump has done to this point in the war with Iran. When asked about public polling — where most surveys show a majority opposing the war — Trump responded, “I don’t care about polling.”

A new study by economists at the Hoover Institute finds that at least six billionaires left the Golden State before the start of the year to avoid the proposed California Billionaire Tax Act. This is a ballot initiative to be voted on later this year that would create a 5% wealth tax on billionaires who have lived in California at any time after January 1, 2026. Proponents expect a $100 billion windfall to the California treasury.

Governor Greg Abbott today delivered remarks touting Texas’ economic dominance and leadership in emerging technology and innovation at a South by Southwest (SXSW) reception at the Governor's Mansion. For 40 years, SXSW has drawn cutting-edge innovators, tech leaders, and global creators worldwide to Austin, Texas. The SXSW Cocktail Reception & Tech Innovation Dinner is held each year at the Governor's Mansion.

Amidst a heightened threat environment across the nation, Democrats' continued refusal to fund the Department of Homeland Security is appalling. Shutting down this critical agency — which manages airport security, oversees disaster relief, protects our nation from cyber threats, and more — puts the security of our nation at risk. I am demanding Democrats put politics aside and fund DHS — before terror strikes again.

A new poll confirms it: President Trump is right about the importance of the SAVE America Act, an election integrity bill awaiting action in the Senate. It shows that election integrity is a bipartisan issue, with overwhelming majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents wanting to require proof of citizenship to vote. This legislation would require that a voter present documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote and would require a photo ID to cast a ballot.

Yesterday afternoon, a 41-year-old Islamic Radical Terrorist drove a truck loaded with explosives through the front doors of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan — one of the largest Reform synagogues in the country — and opened fire: 140 children were inside. Babies. Preschoolers. This was an early childhood learning center in the middle of a school day. Here's what has happened, and what the last 12 days in America have looked like.

"Democrats’ assault on Election Integrity & National Security must be stopped," says Sen. John Cornyn. "Before moderate Democrats went extinct, the Senate's rules worked – but today their reckless radicalism has changed the landscape. And when it comes to the crucial responsibility of protecting and preserving our nation's future, yes, process matters – but outcomes matter more. A rule is only a rule if both sides follow it," said Cornyn.

The laptops, funded in collaboration between AT&T, Compudopt, and Los Fresnos CISD Education Foundation, were given to graduating seniors in Los Fresnos. The Governor was joined by Senator Adam Hinojosa, Representative Janie Lopez, Los Fresnos CISD education division Chair Adan Garcia, AT&T Texas division President Leslie Ward, and AT&T South Texas division Vice President Adrian Quintanilla. 

We predicted this, but didn’t think the exodus would happen so quickly. Washington state is on the precipice of its 1st-ever income tax of 9.9% on millionaires – and just as fast as you can get on the line with a real estate agent, the rich are lining up to leave. As we've pointed out before, every one of the 11 states that've introduced an Income Tax since 1960 have seen their economy lose ground, and successful people.
