The Biden administration has prioritized the well-being of blind catfish over the needs of people in San Antonio and south-central Texas for clean drinking water.

Every Republican group in the state, including our State Party... Those who are anti-Semitic are not welcome in our party."

South Texas Cong. Gonzales has been a fierce advocate for increased Operation Stonegarden funding, and helped secure a total of $90 million for the program in Fiscal Year 2023.

I have an honest question for all those who chant (or who affirm the words,) “Palestine must be free!” Or more fully, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine must be free!” My question is simply this: Where would you like the 7 million Jews currently living in Israel (or, “Palestine” in your words) to go? What is your plan?
Eventually, if only by accident, the House GOP will wander out of the field of rakes they’ve laid out for themselves, take off the blindfold and elect a Speaker you’ve probably never heard of. Representative WhoeverTheHellItIs from some state will do…exactly what Kevin McCarthy would have done. Why? Because what else can be done?
We are now witnessing the second week of one of the darkest times in Israel's history. Hamas' unprovoked and heinous terrorist attack against Israel has resulted in an unprecedented amount of death & destruction. This is Israel's 9/11 and America cannot sit idly by.

Our enemies are starting wars in multiple regions of the world. Our friends can’t trust us, and rampant crime is crippling our own capacity to trust ourselves. An American founding father once said that America’s divine blessings would only occur for as long as she sought to be good – and do good to those around us. Now, we are tolerating the reprehensible. It's sick.
