A Breaking Point for College Sports

Protect College Sports Act, Restoring Electoral Fairness and Opposition Rights

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – College sports have reached a breaking point. Programs are disappearing, women’s and Olympic sports are being cut, and the transfer portal is the Wild West. This week, a court ruling opened the door for players on NFL rosters to return to college football. My legislation, the Protect College Sports Act, restores order, protects student athletes, preserves fair competition, and saves the sports and traditions fans love. This is exactly why Congress must act rather than leave college sports trapped in endless legal chaos.

Restoring Electoral Fairness and Opposition Rights through Mandates for Accountability Act.
The Ortega regime in Nicaragua is engaging in human rights abuses, religious persecution, and political repression by means of corruption and election manipulation. Since the beginning of my career in the Senate, I have sought to counter these abuses and tactics. That is why I am proud to introduce the Restoring Electoral Fairness and Opposition Rights through Mandates for Accountability Act.

This bipartisan legislation builds on the NICA framework I authored and built, which passed through Congress and was signed into law, and imposes sanctions on Nicaraguan officials for abuses that undermine American national security and interests. I intend to advance it.

Stopping Border Surges Act
Under President Trump, we have seen a 99% drop in border crossings through enforcement and other measures. Nevertheless, statutory loopholes remain that directly endanger children while more broadly undermining border security and American national security. That is why I was proud to join Senator Lee in introducing the Stopping Border Surges Act. Congress should permanently close loopholes in our immigration system that enable child trafficking and incentivize fraudulent asylum claims.

Keep Texas Strong,
