The project involved removing surface casings on four wells that had been plugged in the Neches River by operators in the 1970’s and early 80’s. The tall surface casings were starting to get exposed over the decades as river depths changed, posing a risk in recent years to boaters passing through the national preserve.

We had multiple ice ages and heat waves long before we had coal mines, gas-guzzling automobiles and air conditioning. Or human-made CO2 emissions. Or human-made anything. The biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions has been Mother Nature. Forest fires and volcano eruptions have been some of the leading causes of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. . . Instead of outlawing cars, how about better forest management?

The last thing our kids need is for their place of learning to be turned into a shelter for illegal immigrants – they're struggling to recover from devastating pandemic-era learning loss. Last week House Republicans passed the "Schools Not Shelters Act," sending a message to Sanctuary Cities that schools should not be used to house illegal aliens. Students shouldn't have to pay the price for Joe Biden's failed border policies.

Last Friday, Governor Greg Abbot joined First Lady Cecilia Abbott & Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson for the final stop of an Economic Development Mission to Germany, the United Kingdom & France – meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sign Economic Development Statements of Intent with French Minister Olivier Becht.  

Secretary of State Mayorkas' dereliction of duty is clear – implementing reckless policies & failing to enforce the laws passed by Congress. And because of his reckless open border policies, cartels are running a criminal enterprise here in the United States. He's created our historic crisis, and this was proved further last week by the testimonies of expert witnesses who've worked at our Southern Border.

Despite a falling Texas rig count, newly-released data from the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) shows that upstream oil and natural gas employment in the state continued to grow in June, with industry adding an additional 2,500 jobs. Last month, oil and natural gas employment rose above 200,000 for the first time in over three years.

What you want doesn't matter. It's clear PINO (President-in-name-only) Joe Biden is going to get impeached. What history teaches matters, and what history teaches is that this body of evidence can't go unchallenged. At the end of the day he won't be removed from office, but there's now too much evidence to avoid it – and the GOP'll be forced into it by the sheer magnitude and brazenness of the criminality they've exposed.

As two IRS whistleblowers working on the Biden's Family Business Investigations testified before Congress Wednesday, American Voters are not holding their breaths. While 58% of Likely U.S. Voters "think its likely the president was involved" – including 44% who say it’s "Very Likely" – prosecutors “didn't follow ordinary process, slow-walked the investigation, and put unnecessary roadblocks in the case.”

“We know China's been amassing the largest stockpile of crude in the world. Nevertheless, last year we sold off part of our reserves to China," Sen. Cruz said. "We should not be selling our emergency oil reserves to our adversaries. I've been working with Senator Manchin to prohibit such reckless moves and prevent the federal government from selling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea.”

Suspicions are the Force Multipliers of the mounting evidence of the Biden Family's corruption. They feed narratives of heartlessness, of the absolute meanness in disowning a granddaughter born out of wedlock to Hunter. They add to the growing list of worry about presidential senility – and result in a caricature of a 1st family utterly out of touch, dysfunctional and increasingly detrimental to the nation at large.

"My children've been to five funerals of friends who thought they were taking Xanax or ADD medication, and never woke up. Ending 'Catch & Release' was the very 1st Bill I introduced in Congress 20 years ago... yet it's alive & well today. And Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas is responsible in my judgment. We need to designate fentanyl as a chemical weapon," said Cong. Michael McCaul at a House hearing Wednesday.

"With migrants from over 150 Countries encouraged by Open Border Policies to risk their lives and make the dangerous trek to enter our country illegally, Texas is deploying every tool & strategy to deter and repel illegal crossings between its ports of entry." Until President Biden reverses his Open Border Policies and does his job to Secure the Border, Texas will continue protecting Texans & Americans from the chaos.

U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), proud Hispanic Americans and members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today introduced the Respect for Hispanic Americans Act. The legislation would ban the use of the wholly-invented term “Latinx” in any official government communication by a federal agency or employee.

​​​​​​​State agencies need a strong workforce to fulfill their missions. But Texas government, like other states and localities nationwide, faces staffing shortages and high turnover in a few critical areas, including ones that impact the health and safety of Texas’ most vulnerable citizens.

U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) joined 39 members of Congress in sending a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in support of the agency’s April 2023 proposed rule to reduce ethylene oxide emissions from commercial sterilization facilities.

For decades, federal law has prohibited the Defense Department from spending tax dollars on most abortions. -- Forty-two years ago, for example, President Ronald Reagan signed a defense appropriations bill that said, "None of the funds provided by this Act shall be used to perform abortions except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term.

Two weeks ago, the SBA’s Office of Inspector General released a report detailing how over $200 billion worth of Pandemic Loans were potentially fraudulent. Later that day, SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman released a competing report minimizing the theft as “only” $36 billion. I invited Administrator Guzman to testify and speak to the egregious discrepancies, and surprisingly, she declined.

"Together these four bridges will shorten lengthy delays in crossings, help lower the cost of goods for American families, and spur significant job growth," said Sen. Ted Cruz, after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee adopted his amendment to the State Department's funding bill that would speed up the permitting process for building key bridges across the Rio Grande River in Brownsville, Laredo & Eagle Pass.
