No president in American history ever dared to cut taxes by $5 trillion – not, that is, until Donald J. Trump took the oath of office for the second time. Less than six months after launching his second term, President Trump signed into law the Working Families Tax Cut, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. In doing so, he made history. And now, as Tax Day on April 15 approaches, people all over the country are filling out their taxes and seeing for themselves just how significant the enactment of that legislation was last summer.

Easter holds a central place in the Christian faith as the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. At its heart, the Easter message is one of hope — hope that emerges from faith in Christ’s victory over death and the promise of new life. Together, the faith-filled meaning of the resurrection, and the joyful traditions of the season make Easter a time of reflection, gratitude, and celebration.

"To power the Texas of tomorrow, we must boost our state's advanced nuclear capacity," said Gov. Greg Abbott, as he and the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Office (TANEO) opened the application process earlier today to increase advanced nuclear construction, strengthen nuclear manufacturing capacity, and lead America's nuclear renaissance in the state of Texas. Applicants must submit a Notice of Intent to apply by 5:00 pm on April 23rd, and further details are listed in this article.

Gov. Greg Abbott delivered remarks earlier today emphasizing the critical role the Oil & Gas Industry plays in making the Lone Star State an economic powerhouse, and highlighted the actions taken in the last Legislative Session to crack down on oil theft and increase criminal penalties for petroleum-based product thefts. Abbott spoke to the 80th Annual Convention of the Texas Independent Producers & Royalty Owners Association, known within the industry as TIPRO.

It's an overwhelming response, signaling a clear demand: More than 274,000 Texas students have applied for Texas' new Education Freedom Account (EFA) Program as of the close of the application window on March 31st. Why does that matter? Because the overwhelming response from all across Texas signals clear demand from families seeking more flexibility – and control over their child’s education.

Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock today said state sales tax revenue totaled $4 billion in March, 10% more than in March 2025. And, total sales tax revenue for the three months ending in March 2026 was up 6.9% compared with the same period a year earlier. Sales tax is the largest source of state funding for the state's budget, accounting for 58% of tax collections.

Texas Land Commissioner and Veterans Land Board (VLB) Chairwoman Dawn Buckingham, M.D. and the VLB announced that the four Texas State Veterans Cemeteries (TSVC) will offer extended visiting hours during the spring and summer to account for longer days. These longer hours will provide more time for families to spend with their loved ones. Texas State Veterans Cemeteries are special resting places close to home where friends, family, and fellow Texans can honor Texas Veterans.

For 10 consecutive months, not a single Illegal Alien has been released into the country. That’s not just a policy win — it’s a clear demonstration of what strong leadership and accountability can accomplish. Last week, I was proud to see my friend, Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, be confirmed as the new Secretary of Homeland Security and build on this success.

Paychecks began flowing this week to many of the 59,000 heroic TSA Agents who've gone without pay for many weeks. Initial reports say agents have stopped calling in sick and are reporting for duty. Great right? Not to Congressional Dems who care more about creating havoc than getting workers paid.  They are refusing to fund the Dept. of Homeland Security and say they'll file a lawsuit to block President Trump from "illegally" paying TSA Agents.

Ambulatory surgical centers often perform the same procedures as hospitals at significantly lower cost, but Medicare payment policies have historically treated these sites differently. By aligning payment updates and removing outdated adjustments. This legislation supports greater site neutrality, expands access to outpatient surgery, and helps ensure seniors can receive care in the most appropriate and cost-effective setting.

As Chairman of the House of Representative's Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism & Intelligence, I questioned witnesses during a hearing last week on the real-world impacts of the Democrats' shutdown of DHS, the Dept. of Homeland Security – including its Agencies, Missions, and Workforce. The consequences are clear: frontline personnel facing overwhelming operational strain.

“The Star of Texas Award honors the courage and bravery of our Peace Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Medical 1st Responders, and Federal Law Enforcement personnel who've risked their lives to protect their fellow Texans,” said Gov. Greg Abbott, announcing that nominations for the 2026 Awards honoring those who were seriously injured or killed in the line of duty are now open. Nominations are due to the Office of the Governor by June 15, 2026.

Through the official powers of the United States government, Democrats used nearly 200 subpoenas to target over 400 Republican aligned groups and individuals. Arctic Frost tapped into 100,000 private communications, involved more than 12 U.S. Senators, and affected 1,000s of individuals’ lives – all blatant abuses of power, to put it mildly. The Biden Administration wielded investigative power through the DOJ and FBI against political opponents. 

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), in partnership with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), is proud to announce $1 million in apprenticeship grant funding dedicated to strengthening the state's health care system. This investment supports the Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) Program, which provides essential care to communities across Texas.

There are just no two ways about it; Democrats' continued shutdown of the Dept. of Homeland Security & ICE is National Security malpractice. With the FIFA World Cup Soccer Tournament less than 80 days away, and America's 250th Birthday Celebrations being scheduled across the Nation around July 4th, this is especially alarming – we've already seen four ISIS-inspired attacks on our homeland recently, including one in Austin where three innocent people were killed.

"I was the only Democrat through this entire thing that refused to shut down our government," said first term Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman the other day – in a nationally televised interview that was surely seen by millions of Americans, no less. And for his strong dose of Common Sense to end the 2-to-4 hour waiting lines that have spread across the nation's major airports, the Democrat's Party leadership is furious with him. Turns out he’s about the only voice of sanity in the party.

"Some Democrats are getting downright hysterical,” said Sen. John Cornyn on the floor of the U.S. Senate yesterday, as he discussed Democrats’ continued obstruction to fund or re-open the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS,) leaving the American people to suffer in airports across America. President Trump, Cornyn said, has been left with no choice but to deploy U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to help maintain the nation's Security Screening Processes.

Yesterday, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, M.D., gathered with local officials at the Topping-Out Ceremony for the future Alamo Visitor Center and Museum, where the final structural beam was placed atop the building.
