"Texas has a long and proud tradition of rising to defend our homes, our freedom, and our communities," said Central Texas Congressman Chip Roy, as he officially announced his campaign for the position of Texas Attorney General this morning, saying, "I’m running for Attorney General to carry on that legacy… unafraid to fight, unafraid to win, and unafraid to defend Texas at every turn."

This wasn’t just about removing Donald Trump from the White House. It was about removing the possibility of any future president like him – a populist, an untamed nationalist, and most importantly, an unapproved winner from outside the Democrat Elite. It was a coordinated operation to reverse the outcome of a Presidential Election – using the organs of the state, the megaphone of the press, and the cowardice of the courts. And now, the receipts are in. The Russia Collusion and Democrat lies created and repeated by the Swamp are collapsing.

The Texas hemp industry represents everything the current state-sanctioned medical marijuana monopoly fears – Competition, Innovation, Affordability, and Consumer Choice. Marijuana is a "Schedule I Controlled Substance" under Federal Law, and requires a physician’s prescription to use. Hemp is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, and is widely used by Veterans and health consumers as a regulated food or supplement. The products are vastly different, and saying otherwise shamefully misleads the public and is medically dishonest.

Attorney General Ken Paxton – who is running to unseat Texas Sen. John Cornyn – issued a Press Release recently that drew attention to what he called a “major win” that would allow Texas to hold some of the nation's largest investment firms accountable for squeezing "money out of hardworking Americans.” What Paxton failed to mention in his release, however, is that he had benefited when the firm's profits boosted his own investments in those firms.

There are two big factors reshaping American politics & government right now – and their impacts run deep. First, President Trump is committed to real change – creating better jobs, more affordability, and better take-home pay. And second, the Democrat's wave of Big Government Socialism & Radical Values is driving voters away at a devasting pace. Neither factor will change anytime soon, and they're changing Voter Registration Patterns.

“Consumers have the ability to spend on household priorities, as wages are growing above the rate of inflation,” said National Retail Federation President & CEO Matthew Shay, as the organization released its July "Retail Monitor Report" showing core retail sales – which excludes restaurant and car & gas purchases – increased nearly 6% year over year. And, total sales were up 4.83% year over year for the first seven months of 2025.

“The House Democrats have fled the state, denying the House a quorum. The Texas Senate has maintained a quorum and continues to work. The Texas Senate will continue passing critical taxpayer protections until House Democrats return from their ‘vacation’ and get back to work for the people of Texas. Senate Bill 9 will further ensure that out-of-control local governments cannot keep driving up Texans’ tax bills,” said Lt. Gov. Patrick.

The push to eliminate hemp in Texas is not about consumer safety or medical efficacy – it is about economic consolidation. And there is no legitimate policy reason to ban hemp-derived cannabinoids simply because a Texas Compassionate Use Program exists. Texans choose hemp products over marijuana namely because they can get lower dosages, with less intoxicating effects, at a lower cost, with privacy and ease of access.

It starts in East St. Louis, Illinois, moves steadily north to Springfield, home of Abraham Lincoln about 90 miles away, and then takes a sharp turn east before reaching Decatur & Champaign about 80 miles away from Springfield. It’s less a Congressional District than a road trip – and it bears a resemblance to the original "gerrymander" of 1812. The only point of the new 13th-District lines in Democrat-controlled Illinois was to flip the seat to a Democrat.

For months former CIA Director John Brennan was on “Morning Joe” and other outlets spinning unhinged conspiratorial rants by using his former position to suggest much more would be divulged – yet he admitted to Special Counsel Investigators there'd been “no conspiracy” of Russian "collusion" to help Donald Trump in the 2016 Election. To understand what little regard Brennan has for truth, let's recall a 2020 email uncovered by the House Judiciary Committee.

On the eve of 2016's Election, President Obama's CIA Director John Brennan sent a “Fusion Cell” memo to Mr. Obama summarizing all the most secret intelligence the agency had collected on Donald Trump – and Russia. Brennan’s Nov. 6 Memo concluded: “Putin expected [Hillary Clinton] to win.” But then in early December – as Mr. Trump's stunning victory rocked Democrats to the bone – Obama ordered a "new assessment," and Brennan took the lead.

What is Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard upset about? What was known to John Brennan, James Clapper, to James Comey and others as well. They reversed the opinions & advice of their own Intelligence Officers regarding what constituted reliably sourced intelligence, and fabricated their own "Russian Collusion Analysis." And then, according to the wishes of Barack Obama, they took the lie to the American Public.

As the nation’s top exporter of manufactured goods – many of which rely on plastic – Texas stands to benefit significantly from some newly proposed policy recommendations coming out of Washington that have the potential to energize local Lone Star State industries & job growth. A new report unveiled during testimony to the House of Representatives last week has details for Texas’s economy, and workforce here.

Rarely does one find such red-hot smoking guns as proof of wrongdoing, let alone for "Treasonous Conspiracy." Imagine a sitting U.S. president – who in conjunction with his Senior-most National Security Team – fabricated intelligence at the president's instruction so as to undermine his successor. Barack Obama and his senior officials left a digital trail – and then along came Tulsi Gabbard, a former Vice Chair of the Democrat National Party, no less.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick announced the Texas Senate's legislative initiatives for this summer's first Special Session of the 89th Legislature earlier today. Addressing the issue of Consumable Hemp-Derived Products that offer a similar high to marijuana – and are now widely available across Texas thanks to a loophole in a previous law – was initially seen as the most high-profile item anticipated for the session.

With varying degrees of scorn or anger, Democrats have for years denied that they are Communists. Now, however, the deniability is no longer even close to plausible. This time it’s real – and undeniable. The Communists are clearly the future of the Democrat Party. Hating America and having a taste for Marxism goes with being a Democrat like arrogance and self-righteousness go with being Barack Obama.

The summer months are often the most anticipated months of the year – especially when there's so much to see & do across Texas. But research shows that when children read just 4 to 6 books over the summer, it prevents a decline in reading achievement from the spring to fall semesters. Even small steps are beneficial. So while summer's a great time to be outside, here's a few tips to keep our kids reading this summer.

Since President Donald Trump's return to power earlier this year, it's fueled a plunge in the Democrat Party's favorable ratings – which have already hit historic lows in several surveys this year. But the latest responses from 1,290 "Registered Voters" are now at a new record low since March 2009, when the Quinnipiac first began asking "Congressional Approval" questions 16 years ago.

The surprising win by Democrat-Socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City's mayoral primary will put the failures of Socialism – and Democrats Nationwide – in the spotlight said liberal media commentator and former Clinton advisor James Carville in a Washington Post op-ed Wednesday. He laid down a frightening warning for Democrats for nominating a far-left, 33-year old Muslim and American critic.

Texas homeschool families are celebrating a series of legislative victories as three key bills – aimed at ensuring equal treatment and expanding opportunities – have now been officially signed by Governor Greg Abbott.
