The President therefore may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled, at a minimum, to a presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. That immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office, regardless of politics, policy, or party," the opinion states. 

“Protecting our citizens, defending our freedom, and providing for the nation's common defense is the first and most important job of the federal government – but unfortunately, President Biden’s self-inflicted open-border crisis has brought our nation’s most imminent threat right to our doorstep,” said Lubbock Congressman & House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, as the U.S. House of Representatives passed three major Appropriations Bills to ensure our nation's troops have the resources & supplies needed.

If Texas were a country, it'd now be the 8th-Largest Economy in the world, ahead of Canada and Russia. “The saying ‘I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could’ is truer than you might think – especially when it comes to business and job creation,” said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar, as he released the latest examination of 10 statistics illustrating how Texas' continuing trend of strong economic and population growth confirmed what we’ve always known. Only a decade ago, Texas was the world's 12th-largest economy.

“This investigation appears to bear the markings of a politically-driven prosecution, which has unfortunately been the stock-in-trade of the present Department of Justice.

Ted Cruz, requesting information relevant to a Texas hospital’s gender transition procedures being performed on children.

“Every light is blinking red. We cannot continue to put border security on the back burner – we know for a fact that dangerous Cartels & Gangs have used our broken borders as a means to enter the United States.

Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program (PSOB) provides crucial support – including death & education benefits to survivors of fallen law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other first responders, as well as disability benefits to officers catastrophically injured in the line of duty. However, despite applying for these benefits, Officer Barnes and his family experienced an excruciating wait for a determination from the Dept. of Justice since the 2018 shooting.

"Last week, I led a bi-partisan Congressional Delegation to India – the world’s largest democracy and an important partner of the United States. On this trip, I was honored to meet with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. Over 70 years ago, the Chinese Communist Party annexed their democratic territory, and slaughtered 10s of 1,000s of innocent Tibetans. To save his people, the Dalai Lama led his followers on a journey through the Himalayas," began Cong. McCaul.

“Democrats are out of touch with the American people. They have given up trying to persuade American citizens that their ideas are rational and good for the country, and are instead importing illegal aliens. Make no mistake: Joe Biden views every illegal alien as a future Democrat voter. This amnesty program allows illegal aliens to get citizenship and vote in future elections – he views the American people’s suffering as an acceptable price to pay to gain future Democrat voters," said Sen. Cruz.

"President Biden needs to stop rewriting immigration law and start enforcing it. He's allowed over 11 million illegal immigrants into America – including dangerous criminals, gang members & terrorists – and our country can’t survive four more years of these dangerous open borders. This new mass amnesty proposal, like President Obama's DACA proposal, will be stricken down by the courts for a simple reason: It is Congress, not the President, that has authority to make or change our nation's Immigration Laws,” said Abbott.

"The Biden White House’s decision to ban LNG export permits is at the expense of the American people, their jobs, and economic prosperity," said Cong. Randy Weber.

We will fight to protect American jobs, our energy independence, and the communities that rely on a thriving LNG industry."
