Joe Biden stole classified documents, and now we're finding out his Dept. of Justice has been hiding Joe’s theft of classified property. But, has the Biden White House lost its support from the media in the past week? All three broadcast networks reported – rather angrily – about Biden's obstruction after he campaigned on “transparency.”

“From out-of-control inflation, to broken supply chains, I have first-hand experience dealing with the current problems facing America’s job creators. As the Republican majority works on solutions to these pressing issues, it is essential we have a small business owner at the helm of this committee to be the voice for Main Street America," said Cong. Williams upon being selected by his peers to Chair the House Small Business Committee.

As more people and businesses move to Texas every day and drive energy demand growth across the state – and as progress continues to be made in grid reliability following the bipartisan reforms passed by the 87th Legislature – Gov. Greg Abbott sent a letter to the Texas Public Utility Commission supporting the adoption of a new reliability standard and design for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market.

Newly sworn in State Rep. Carrie Isaac is wasting no time to fulfill a promise she made during her House District 73 campaign.​​​​​​​ "I've heard story after story of hard-working Texans being forced to give up their family home, to take on boarders, and to go without basic necessities like medication, food or utilities in order to pay their property taxes. My #1 priority is to do something, anything, to help Texans stay in their homes,” said Isaac.

“The oil and natural gas industry makes safety in the workplace a high priority,” said Todd Staples, Chairman of the Board of the Agency and President of TXOGA. “Neal’s character and integrity make him a great fit to lead the Agency forward," said Staples. As President of the Agency, Carlton will oversee the TXOGA Workers’ Compensation Safety Group. 

With the advantage of a week of hindsight, the resolution of the House Republican's Speaker fight was always pretty clear. Yes, Kevin McCarthy had to – and was always going to – compromise to be elected Speaker. And yes, the "Chaos Caucus" Rebels were also always going to accept a compromise at the end of the standoff. In the end, the new rules were passed, and in retrospect... we're going to be off to strong start.

The 88th Texas Legislative Session began earlier this week on Tuesday, January 10th. The Texas House of Representatives Swearing-In Ceremony was held on the House Floor at noon on January 10th, and if you are unable to join us I'd like to invite you to come to Austin during the 88th Session and visit our Capitol Office. We want you to be a part of your Texas Legislature and the decisions that are made.

“During our time in uniform we learned that service is about placing our country above self,” said Congressmen Tony Gonzales (R-TX) and Jason Crow (D-CO) after being elected as  Co-Chairs of the "For Country Caucus" that was founded in 2019 to help military veteran Members of Congress work together to find consensus-driven policy solutions that support U.S. Military Servicemembers and Veterans.

Expected to create 130 new jobs and approximately $140 million in capital investment, a Texas Enterprise Fund grant has been extended to help CertainTeed LLC to construct a new roofing manufacturing and distribution facility in Bryan, Texas. "Exceptional global companies like CertainTeed are investing in Texas because we offer unmatched business operating advantages," said Governor Abbott.

Because the Texas Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund has risen above its statutory minimum required balance, the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) announced earlier today that the average unemployment insurance (UI) tax rate for all employers will be 1.16% for calendar year 2023, down from last year's average tax rate of 1.35%.

House Republicans came together to support Kevin McCarthy for speaker of the House. I'm proud to have stood by Leader McCarthy – who has a robust plan to get the House of Representatives working for the American people again. Now we can get to work cutting wasteful spending, holding the Biden White House accountable, and securing the border.

The Left has gone mad over former President Donald J. Trump - past, present, and future. ​​​​​The current Democratic Party and NeverTrump "conservatives" assumed that Trump was and remains so obviously toxic that they do not have to define exactly what his evil entails.

“Today, Republicans began working toward protecting and strengthening America against the immediate threats we face from the Chinese Communist Party. This new Select Committee will thoroughly investigate the malicious actions the CCP has already taken – and provide solutions to protect American citizens," said Texas Congressman Pete Sessions immediately after the U.S. House voted to establish a new Select Committee on the issue.

“We cannot, and we will not, lose sight of the fact that every tax dollar received by the state is coming out of Texans’ pockets. Lawmakers should consider meaningful tax reduction to ease the burden Texans are experiencing from inflation, economic uncertainty and rising housing costs," said Comptroller Hegar, releasing the Biennial Revenue Estimate showing legislators will have a record $188.2 billion for general-purpose spending in 2024-25, up 26.3% from the last budget.

“Comptroller Hegar’s Revenue Estimate is further proof of the true might of our economy. Our conservative policies, including no income tax and minimal regulation, attract businesses and grow jobs. Texas taxpayers must first receive tax relief before we commit to any new spending. And we must not spend all the money in case Joe Biden's inflationary policies and out-of-control spending causes a national recession," said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.

“After two years of disastrous open border policies, it's imperative we have an all-hands-on-deck approach​​​​​​​” said Congressman Gonzales. "The Security 1st Act will do just that by making sure our borders are safe, resilient, and adaptive to the evolving challenges along the border. Operation Stonegarden is a lifeline for our Border Patrol who rely on Local Law Enforcement and Sheriffs," said Gonzales.

Attorney General Paxton has joined a multi-state effort asking the Federal Communications Commission to prevent consumers from receiving unwanted, illegal spam text messages by backing the FCC’s proposed rule to require mobile wireless providers to block illegal text messages at the network level when the messages appear to be from invalid, unallocated, or unused numbers.

"Swalwell can’t get a security clearance in the private sector. I’m not going to give him a government security clearance," said newly minted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, making good on his promise to strip Democrats Ilhan Omar, Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell of their committee assignments in the House of Representatives. "Schiff has lied to the American public. We will not allow him to be on the Intel Committee either.”
