“The Chinese Communist Party expends countless resources to erode the status of our Taiwanese allies and isolate them globally. This will modernize the production of unmanned aerial system supply chains, and deepen U.S.-Taiwan defense cooperation," said Sen. Ted Cruz of his effort to expand Taiwan’s ability to develop drone system components without being compromised by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP.).

On April 3, the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) celebrated a major milestone – marking 135 years of service as the state’s oldest regulatory agency. Since its founding in 1891, the Commission has guided Texas through many significant periods of change, from its initial role regulating a rapidly expanding Railroad System, to the oil boom of the early 20th Century, and, more recently, the shale boom of the 2000s.

Texas Land Commissioner and Veterans Land Board (VLB) Chairwoman Dawn Buckingham, M.D., issued a statewide CALL OUT for Veterans to contact the Texas General Land Office(GLO) to share their unique stories of service with the VLB through the GLO's Voices of Veterans Oral History Program.

California’s education budget has grown into one of the largest public spending commitments in the United States, yet the relationship between funding and student outcomes remains weak, uneven, and increasingly difficult to defend. Over the past decade, state leaders have treated higher appropriations as a substitute for structural reform. That approach has produced a system where spending expands automatically, while accountability mechanisms remain largely unchanged.

Governor Greg Abbott today celebrated the strength and resilience of the Texas economy as the state gained 40,100 nonfarm jobs over the month of January and hit a new historic high of 14,379,500 total jobs.

Last week, NASA’s Artemis II launch sent a message to the world that the United States will lead this era of space exploration. As Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, I’ve worked to advance the success of the Artemis II program by advancing the NASA reauthorization bill last month, empowering NASA to help return American astronauts to the Moon and carry out the President’s National Space Policy.

This past week, I witnessed the launch of Artemis II, a mission that will carry humans farther into deep space than ever before. Sunday, we celebrated the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It is no coincidence that this extraordinary moment of exploration unfolded during Holy Week. NASA has centered this mission around a powerful motto, “for all humanity,” a phrase that echoes something far greater than any achievement here on earth.

No president in American history ever dared to cut taxes by $5 trillion – not, that is, until Donald J. Trump took the oath of office for the second time. Less than six months after launching his second term, President Trump signed into law the Working Families Tax Cut, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. In doing so, he made history. And now, as Tax Day on April 15 approaches, people all over the country are filling out their taxes and seeing for themselves just how significant the enactment of that legislation was last summer.

Easter holds a central place in the Christian faith as the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. At its heart, the Easter message is one of hope — hope that emerges from faith in Christ’s victory over death and the promise of new life. Together, the faith-filled meaning of the resurrection, and the joyful traditions of the season make Easter a time of reflection, gratitude, and celebration.

Talk about a pleasant and early Easter Weekend treat, the U.S. Economy added 178,000 jobs in March, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.3% according the the figures for March 2026 that were released earlier this morning – which were both far better than expected by Wall Street, particularly the job growth numbers. The reports were "way better than expected," according to a Washington Examiner analysis in Washington, D.C., and may soon be getting even better.

There's no shortage of negative elitist media coverage on President Trump these days – except perhaps when it comes to the fact that he's (wait for it,) "winning" in his efforts to reshape the nation's media landscape. Yes you read that right, and confirmed liar and Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA.) even had a pseudo-hearing the other day to try and prove it, accusing President Trump of committing "an assault on our freedom of speech... taking us down the road of Putin & China to state-controlled media." HA!

"The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again. It's time for Iran to make a deal before it is too late and there is nothing left of what still could become a great country," said President Trump in a 10-second clip of the attack on the Middle East's largest bridge, considered an important link between Iran’s capital of Tehran and the western city of Karaj. "Much more to follow," warned Mr. Trump in a Truth Social post.

Greg Abbott delivered remarks earlier today emphasizing the critical role the Oil & Gas Industry plays in making the Lone Star State an economic powerhouse, and highlighted the actions taken in the last Legislative Session to crack down on oil theft and increase criminal penalties for petroleum-based product thefts.

It's an overwhelming response, signaling a clear demand: More than 274,000 Texas students have applied for Texas' new Education Freedom Account (EFA) Program as of the close of the application window on March 31st. Why does that matter? Because the overwhelming response from all across Texas signals clear demand from families seeking more flexibility – and control over their child’s education.

Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock today said state sales tax revenue totaled $4 billion in March, 10% more than in March 2025.
