“It's embarrassing that unelected bureaucrats in Florida have done a better job of protecting children than elected officials in Texas have by regulatorily banning gender modification. I’ve filed a bill to codify the same ban that exists in Florida, however, our children deserve protection today – and the Texas Medical Board can provide it," said State Rep. Brian Harrison, who prior being elected to the Texas House served as Chief of Staff for the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services.

"The state's 'Rainy Day Fund' and the State Highway Fund are critical assets for Texas, and these transfers represent a tremendous opportunity to invest and safeguard our state against uncertainty,” said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar earlier today, announcing that he has completed the transfer of about $7.3 billion into the State Highway Fund (SHF) and the Economic Stabilization Fund (commonly known as the “Rainy Day Fund”,) in order to comply with the Texas Constitution.

TWC Commissioner Representing Labor Julian Alvarez announced he will depart from the Texas Workforce Commission effective December 15, 2022.

 “As the representative of so many Texans in the chemical, energy, construction, and manufacturing sectors – which rely heavily on railroads – I'm concerned that Congress’s actions today set a dangerous precedent for future labor negotiations.” said Cong. Brian Babin (TX-36,) after voting no on both H.J. Res. 100 and H. Con. Res. 119. "The president, who deems himself the ‘union guy,’ should have been able to solve this issue long ago."

It would be hard to imagine any better agenda that would destroy America – that would have been as injurious as what we've already suffered through at the hands of the Biden White House and Democrat's "leadership" – than the following 10 things... yet Mr. Biden and the openly destructive Democrat Party have accomplished all of them.

“The people of China are not to blame for the Communist Party’s actions. In fact, many were already protesting its handling of the pandemic and now the protests have escalated into open criticism of the (Communist) regime. They're bravely standing up for their rights – and the Biden Administration’s response has been worse than expected," said Sen. Ted Cruz earlier today, condemning Biden’s response to the Chinese abuses against its citizens.

“The law the Biden Administration is trying to ignore is crystal clear: certain illegal aliens that have committed crimes must be detained and cannot be allowed to roam freely in our communities,” said Attorney General Paxton, as lawyers representing the State of Texas made their case before the U.S. Supreme Court today to stop the Biden White House from illegally refusing to enforce laws mandated in the U.S. Immigration & Nationality Act.

Governor Greg Abbott today announced new leadership appointments at the Texas Department of Family & Protective Services (DFPS) that strengthen the agency’s mission of serving vulnerable adults and children with high-quality programs and services. Effective immediately, Kezeli "Kez" Wold, Stephanie Muth, and Anne Heiligenstein will be assuming Commissioner and Senior Adviser roles to lead the agency in a number of key projects.

"I'm going into the 88th Session ready to fight for Travis County. These first bills represent just some of the niche issues facing constituents of House District 46, but the Legislature can improve the lives of millions by expanding Medicaid, fully funding our teachers & schools, and restoring our civil rights,” said Cole, who serves on the House Agriculture & Livestock, the House Administration, and the House Ways & Means Committees.

We now know one major priority that Joe Biden will try to pass in the remaining weeks Democrats control the U.S. House of Representatives. The president says he'll try to "get rid of assault weapons." Well, instead of focusing on passing more gun laws – when those already on the books certainly aren't being enforced like they should – perhaps President Biden should focus on the simple old principles Democrats are so anxious not to see.

Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) hosted House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) and 5 of their House Republican colleagues in El Paso, Texas, to receive a first-hand update on the Border Crisis.

Governor Greg Abbott has directed the Texas Department of Emergency Management and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to deploy necessary resources to support the City of Houston after it announced a boil water notice following the loss of local power at three Water Treatment Plants.

Attorney General Paxton led a multistate coalition in filing a brief in the U.S.'s D.C. Court of Appeals to halt the implementation of radical climate regulations promulgated by the Biden White House’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Unable to pass legislation through Congress, and hoping no one would notice two days before Thanksgiving, President Biden’s unelected Dept. of Labor (DOL) bureaucrats finalized a new rule to reverse regulations set by the Trump White House that ensured retirement fund managers lived up to their fiduciary duty of selecting investments based solely on maximizing profits and returns for their customers – rather than Democrat's radical Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) agenda.

Democrats are on a relentless quest to get their hands on other people’s cash. It’s a scary thought to realize there are people in this country who not only fall for it, but are so wildly supportive of the manipulative masterminds behind it. 

It’s too bad the failed Socialist Experiment at Plymouth Rock is not more prominently included in the Thanksgiving Story that most Americans think of today. Perhaps it would make a difference to the 65% of Democrats who currently have a positive view of "socialism" – including about half of the millennials and Generation Zers who believe it would be preferable to our Capitalist System.

While the City of Houston is synonymous with the Oil & Gas Industry, it has also been gaining a competitive advantage in numerous renewable energy industry sectors due to the high concentration of energy expertise and experience among its residents. And with two new "Wind Energy Areas" recently approved for the Gulf of Mexico, including one near Galveston, Texas, the potential to produce additional clean wind energy jobs is growing.

“Despite national economic headwinds, Texas grew jobs at the fastest rate in the nation over the past 12 months. The Lone Star State shines as a beacon of opportunity," said Gov. Greg Abbott, announcing that Texas experienced its fastest rate of jobs growth over the past 12 months during the month of October 2022, and broke its all-time record for total jobs for the 12th consecutive month by adding 49,500 nonfarm jobs last month.
