Governor Greg Abbott announced that the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), in partnership with local officials, will launch a new COVID-19 therapeutic infusion center in Nacogdoches.

"President Biden must immediately, clearly & unapologetically tell the world - including Taliban terrorists - the United States will not leave Afghanistan until we have evacuated every American trapped behind Taliban lines. He must make clear this is the only condition under which we will leave – Then he must ensure that condition is met."

AG Ken Paxton commends the Texas Supreme Court’s decision to grant the emergency motion for temporary relief in the case of Abbott v. San Antonio, keeping the decision to enforce mask mandates with the governor, not local government entities.

Rep. Jodey Arrington (TX-19) applauded a federal district court’s decision to issue a preliminary injunction after the Biden Administration unilaterally and unconstitutionally rescinded a Texas’ Medicaid waiver, which had been previously approved by the Trump Administration.

"This is now on track," said White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday, "to be the largest airlift in U.S. history." On the process of bringing American citizens, Afghan partners and allies out, she continued, "I would not say that is anything but a success."

President Biden's failed – as Commander-in-Chief no less – to plan for a safe and orderly evacuation backed by a credible & overwhelming threat of force against the Taliban, al Qaeda & ISIS . Instead he's allowed the Taliban to call the shots – even when it comes to evacuating of our nation's own "stranded" citizens. He's embarrassed the United States and allowed the terrorists to impose their will on the greatest nation on earth.

Friendly interviews leave journalists scratching their heads – and Democrat leaders privately groaning. But if you want to really know just how bad things are getting for Joe Biden and the Democrats, new polling from NBC News shows their numbers slipping significantly amid the recent bungling of the Afghanistan retreat – particularly among the all-important "Independent Voter."

"Due to the Biden Administration's inaction on the border crisis, our partnership with local leaders is more important than ever to mitigate illegal border crossings and prevent the smuggling of drugs, weapons and people into Texas," said Gov. Abbott, noting that Operation Lone Star has seen over 4,300 arrests by the Texas Department of Public Safety — including 700+ pounds of cocaine, 127 pounds of fentanyl, over 8,700 pounds of cannabis, and over 260 firearms to date.

"We ask that you provide an update on the status of Special Counsel Durham's inquiry, and that the investigation's report be made available to the public," said Senators Ted Cruz, Marsha Blackburn, Mitch McConnell and 41 of their Republican colleagues, asking Attorney General Merrick Garland to provide an update on the status of the inquiry into the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation – and to ensure that the investigation is seen to completion.

Last Thursday, Texas Attorney General Paxton sued the San Antonio Independent School District and its superintendent for mandating that all district employees receive a COVID-19 shot – in violation of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Executive Order banning public entities from requiring individuals to receive COVID-19 vaccines. Thankfully, Paxton stopped them.

For years, when conservatives have made the obvious point that cutting taxes on savings results in more savings, that cutting taxes on investment results in more investment, or that cutting taxes on work results in more work, liberal progressives ridiculed the idea. But now Democrats have suddenly had a religious conversion, and are insisting dynamic scoring be used to evaluate their huge new spending plans.

There is one fundamental principle every nation on this earth knows – America leaves no one behind. It’s been that way for decades. It’s emblazoned on my soul as a former Marine officer. And yet in the last week, President Biden's taken that principle and thrown it in the trash, emboldening our enemies and angering our allies. There are not enough superlatives to express how damaging and awful this situation is.

Joe Biden & Kamala Harris have dismantled our Southern Border with a speed and precision that can only be described as intentional & purposeful – and it’s far past time for all freedom-loving Americans to recognize it as such. Its a deliberate remaking of our immigration system, and its making the United States less safe by the day. It will only get worse... until voters decide what message to convey to them.

"Front-line health care workers across our state are working tirelessly to keep Texans healthy and safe. The substantial increase of infusion centers will reduce hospitalizations, and the added medical personnel will help treat COVID-19 patients already in hospitals. Hospitalizations can also be prevented by Texans getting the COVID-19 vaccine," said Gov. Greg Abbott, announcing that Texas will deploy additional medical personnel and launch more COVID-19 antibody infusion centers. 

Last week, Texas State Sen. Charles Schwertner and 19 other Texas Senators sent a letter to the letter to Public Utility Commission Chair Peter Lake, as well as Commissioners Will McAdams and Lori Cobos regarding House Bill 4492. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick sent a letter in support of the senators’ position

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued the following statement after multiple Biden-Harris officials today declined to confirm or clarify plans to ensure the evacuation of every American citizen in Afghanistan

With Texas public schools now restarting for the fall semester, interest in homeschooling is already outpacing the all-time records set by the enormous homeschool increase from 2020. 

Historians aren't actually sure that Nero caused or neglected a fire that consumed much of ancient Rome. Historians, however much they'd like to, won't be able to deny that President Joe Biden bears full responsibility for America's humiliating retreat from Afghanistan, and our neglect of the tens of thousands who aided us and now face torture and death from the Taliban.
