The media have buried the lead: The "One Big Beautiful Bill" prevents the largest tax increase in American History. Killing this tax increase – which would hit Jan. 1, 2026 when Donald Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts expire – is an enormous achievement for the nation. And remember, every Democrat in Congress voted against it. What a sad state of affairs for Democrats – unanimously voting to allow the tax equivalent of an economic nuclear bomb to detonate.
Now is the time for Iran to come to the table and negotiate a peaceful non-proliferation agreement – if they don’t, President Trump will once again respond with "Peace Through Strength," and the Iranian Regime will suffer the consequences because President Trump means what he says. The United States conducted military strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites to put a stop to their race toward a nuclear bomb. The United States government has long said that Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon. President Trump backed that commitment with decisive action — demonstrating the kind of leadership that does what it takes to protect American lives. Now is the time for Iran to come to the table and negotiate a peaceful non-proliferation agreement.
The visit to the RRC headquarters included an overview of the agency’s history and jurisdiction of the energy landscape and discussion of the operations of the different RRC divisions, before diving into an in-depth question and answer session with the guests. Members of the delegation asked about a variety of topics, including pipeline safety, seismicity, produced water, carbon capture and how the agency engages with both members of industry and government partners at the local, state and federal levels.
The suit organized by the Hemp Industry and Farmers of America PAC, announced the plaintiffs in CBD Pros USA v. Texas, will be dropping their suit. We applaud Governor Greg Abbott for his historic veto of Senate Bill 3. The Governor has shown true leadership by prioritizing Texans’ public safety, constitutional integrity, and practical policymaking over symbolic legislation destined to fail in the courts.
On June 24th, 2025, New York City Democratic Primary voters elected a Muslim-Indian trust-fund baby socialist, born in Uganda, preacher of all things anti-white, anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Israel, anti-common sense, as their party nominee to replace Eric Adams. In other words, a male Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez with more intersectionality is the front-runner to be the next mayor of the Big Apple. Should they just start calling themselves the Rotten Apple, Beaten Apple, or just Apple Core?
The surprising win by Democrat-Socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City's mayoral primary will put the failures of Socialism – and Democrats Nationwide – in the spotlight said liberal media commentator and former Clinton advisor James Carville in a Washington Post op-ed Wednesday. He laid down a frightening warning for Democrats for nominating a far-left, 33-year old Muslim and American critic.
Governor Greg Abbott directed the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) to establish a joint Texas New World Screwworm Response Team following the recent northward spread of the New World screwworm (NWS). The mission for the Response Team is clear: to lead Texas’ prevention and response efforts and ensure that Texas remains informed, prepared, and aligned to prevent the re-emergence of this destructive parasite.
The PEARL Act supports Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) efforts to address mental health challenges at the agency by providing support canines for CBP personnel. Since 2007, over 150 Border Patrol Agents and CBP employees have died by suicide. In January 2023, CBP launched the Support Canine Program, which aims to mitigate the spike in mental health crises among CBP personnel.
On Tuesday, my subcommittee on Government Operations held a hearing with key stakeholders from the United States Postal Service. The USPS is a vital institution that supports both everyday life and our economy, especially in rural communities. As we look ahead, we must ensure the Postal Service is reliable, efficient, and responsive to the needs of the people. These conversations are essential to shaping reforms that will help USPS succeed for generations to come.
Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that all 55 attorneys general, representing all eligible states and U.S. territories, agreed to a $7.4 billion settlement with Purdue Pharma and its owners, the Sackler family. The Sackler family has also informed the attorneys general of its plan to proceed with the settlement, which would resolve litigation against Purdue and the Sacklers for their role in creating and worsening the national opioid crisis.
Iran had been reduced to an anemic, performance-art missile attack on our base in Qatar -- the last Parthian shot from a terrified regime, desperate for an out -- and a ceasefire. Iran would have been better off not launching such a ceremonial but ultimately humiliating proof of impotence. Even worse for the theocracy, Iran's temporary reprieve came from the now magnanimous but still hated U.S. President Donald Trump.
We rarely quote from New York Times editorials, but this seething critique on the sad state of affairs of America's largest metropolis – New York City, the City that Never Sleeps, the Big Apple – in the wake of Tuesday's Democrat primary victory for Socialist-Democrat Zohran Mamdani is a must read. Mr. Mamdani is running on an agenda uniquely unsuited to the city’s challenges – and is now the front-runner.
“Texas invests in critical supply chain resilience to make sure the semiconductor chips that drive innovation and fuel our economy are made in Texas,” said Gov. Greg Abbott earlier today, announcing that a $5.3 million Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund Grant has been extended to MGC Pure Chemicals America, Inc. for expansion of their production facility in Killeen.
“I proudly served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy, and I'll always stand up for our servicemembers, veterans, and military families,” said South Texas Cong. Tony Gonzales after the Fiscal Year 2026 Military Construction & Veterans Affairs funding bill in the U.S. House of Representatives – and included several key provisions Gonzales drafted to benefit Texas military installations in South and West Texas, including El Paso and San Antonio.
Texas Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian announced the launch of the Delivering Oil and Gas Efficiently (DOGE) Task Force today, a new internal initiative focused on improving processes, enhancing communication, and strengthening the Railroad Commission of Texas as a responsive, pro-business agency. The DOGE initiative is not about cutting personnel – it’s about cutting delays, confusion and outdated systems.
This isn’t Iraq. It isn’t Afghanistan. It’s not even in the same universe. This wasn’t some tragic exercise in exporting democracy to people who didn’t want it. It wasn’t a two-decade nation-building slog through endless desert. There were no speeches about empowering women’s councils or holding parliamentary elections in caves. It was targeted. Surgical. The mission was simple: identify the most dangerous, real-world threat to global stability—Iran’s nuclear weapons program—and end it. Not debate it.
Governor Greg Abbott today celebrated Texas being recognized as the Best Business Climate in the nation for the third year in a row by Business Facilities magazine in their 2025 Annual Rankings Report. According to Business Facilities magazine, the flagship ranking includes consideration of economic development activity and achievements over the previous year, including capital investment and job creation announcements and implementation.
More evidence of the miserable state of affairs on the Left. As we feared, the Democrats in America’s largest city chose Zohram Mamdani, the 33 year-old socialist. He was able to avoid serious scrutiny of his crazed ideas to cripple the police, business and educational standards - in part because he had the luxury of running against the disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Good riddance to him.
