Friday, President Donald J. Trump announced the launch of the America First Seafood Strategy (PDF, 8.5 MB) and several actions the Trump Administration is taking to support the American seafood industry. Among these actions is the announcement that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is making at least $5 billion available in loans through the Strengthening Processing for U.S. Ranchers (SPUR) Guaranteed Loan Program to expand, improve, and diversify the processing capacity of American meat, poultry, and seafood.
As a Texan, I know exactly what's at stake in this year's race for governor. My brother is one of the thousands of students who finally has access to a Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA), but Gina Hinojosa wants to take that opportunity away. I know firsthand what a difference school choice can make. I attended public school most of my life, but by high school, the environment had become increasingly difficult. After I was physically assaulted, my family felt strongly discouraged from pressing charges. I was no longer comfortable learning in this environment.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, issued the following statement after President Trump signed the bipartisan Mystic Alerts Act into law. Sen. Cruz advanced the legislation through the Senate Commerce Committee in September, and it passed the Senate that same month. This legislation allows wireless emergency alerts (WEAs) to be delivered via satellite communications technologies when traditional cellular networks are unavailable during emergencies.
This November, the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) is hosting the 15th Annual Hiring Red, White & You! event series. The series includes nearly 30 hiring events across the state from Nov. 2-20 to connect veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses to Texas employers. Since 2012, these free hiring events have connected more than 28,000 employers with 167,000 job seekers, including 56,157 active-duty military, transitioning service members, veterans, and their spouses.
Governor Greg Abbott celebrated Texas as America’s jobs leader with today’s U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics employment release showing Texas led all states with a gain of 154,300 jobs over the last 12 months. With an annual growth rate of 1.1 percent, Texas outpaced the national rate by 0.8 percentage points. Today, Texas is the top state for attracting new, job-creating business investment and the top state for small business job creation.
Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism. The new Islamist-allied socialist Democratic Party is confident, largely because the party holding the White House has increased its share of House seats in a midterm election only three times since 1900. Each of those exceptions arose under unusual circumstances.
RRC Commissioner Wayne Christian praised remarks by U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright during his Tuesday visit to Houston, where Wright highlighted the economic opportunities presented by responsible data center expansion, the importance of investing in energy infrastructure and the U.S. Department of Energy’s $50 million investment in Texas grid resilience. Christian emphasized that lawmakers must respect each Texas community's decision on data center development.

Two decades ago you had to call about three random numbers to get one to answer. By 2025, Pew Research had to reach about 140 random call numbers just to get one response. And now it’s 2026 — not 2016, 2008, or 1992. If pollsters botched election predictions back then – when people still answered phones and large demo groups still voted predictably — what do you think will happen when they don’t? Yet we’re still extrapolating polling predictions based on any weirdo who’ll to take a poll that 139 other people have already rejected!
Ever wonder why the Leftwing Establishment Media never criticizes or questions the new Socialists, Communists & Islamists that control and make up the Democrat Party? The New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, Time, Newsweek, ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN are part of a coordinated campaign to sanitize, normalize, and romanticize history’s most Dangerous & Lethal Ideologies. For example, Newsweek is currently running a “Little Red Test” that asks how you feel about oat milk, shorter workweeks and tote bags — subtlety leading one to see how ready you are for an “American Socialist Revolution.” What exactly are they trying to do?
Because nothing says "Border" better than a human wave crossing into Europe on camera, in real time, and then being allowed to spend years pretending its Grooming Gang Epidemic would lead to nothing – because admitting the Leftist-Multicultural Fairy Tale would eventually have a body count – and "voilà," you literally have the French phrase for "there it is," or "there you go!" There's been no shortage of press lately chronicling Europe's slow-motion Muslim population crisis, so buckle up, it's a full continent's worth of material.
I had to laugh the other day when the Left-Wing Media came unglued about the swirling rumors over why Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico went missing for 9 days. You have to admit – it was a bit strange. But for Talarico, it seems to me no "dirty trick" was really necessary – after all, he wants a "welcome mat" at the border. He thinks "there are 6 genders." He’s a Christian who "hates" Christianity. And, he supports the radical trans agenda. His own words ought to be enough to stop his political career.
“If you can't provide policies, or support policies that protect the most innocent among us – the unborn child – how can we trust that you’re going to provide policies to protect the rest of Texans?” asked Jodi Hunt, a professor of Applied Ministry at the University of Dallas Wednesday evening during a CNN "Town Hall" Event. She was challenging the Democrat's U.S. Senate candidate, James Talarico, about many of his long-established stances from a Catholic Voter's point of view. “The Bible is not silent on abortion,” said Hunt. "There is the 10 Commandments, Thou Shalt Not Kill."
For years there have questions about whether Democrat Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s father lied or omitted information about his military role under a brutal Somalia dictatorship. Now there are allegations that Omar or her late father may have lied or omitted information to secure legal status and citizenship. The fraud investigation into Ms. Omar could result in charges – and potentially an effort to strip her of her citizenship. The Justice Department could pursue a Civil Denaturalization Case, which is not subject to a Statute of Limitations, meaning the investigation could even expand.
Consider this from the standpoint of the "messages" being sent. Are you a conservative? Pro-American and for our nation's cultural sense of decency that's now 250+ years old? The "message" of the executions of Charlie Kirk and Brian Thompson – as well as the attempts on President Trump's life – are remarkably clear. But the upcoming execution of jihadist, convicted murderer, and former Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan holds a different message. His execution – carried out by soldiers of the institution he betrayed – is aimed at different audiences. The former is aimed at you and me, the latter is aimed at terrorists supporting Radical Islam. One is terrorism, the other is accountability.
Governor Greg Abbott announced 84 Jobs and Education for Texans (JET) grants totaling over $20 million have been awarded to Texas public junior, state, and technical colleges; school districts; and open-enrollment charter schools. The JET grants, awarded through the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), will help schools buy equipment to start or improve career and technical education (CTE) training programs that lead to high-demand careers.
Texas Comptroller Don Huffines said many cities and counties can reduce property taxes due to increased sales tax revenue as local governments will receive $1.3 billion in allocations of net local sales tax collected in September, 11.6% more than a year ago. Net revenue reflects sales tax collections after refunds, overpayment credits and prepayment adjustments. Local amounts are also net of the state’s 2% administrative fee, which is deposited to the General Revenue Fund.
