Disappointed in the Biden Admin's decision to deny FEMA assistance to Texans impacted by severe weather in southeast Texas.
Texas will exhaust all available options to support communities in need.
I'm urging to provide disaster relief loans to help Texans recover.

Remember that video of reckless drivers who took over an intersection in Austin last month?
17 people have now been arrested and criminally charged.
A task force is working across the state to crack down on this criminal activity of taking over streets.

Biden's radical ESG agenda threatens millions of energy jobs, including hundreds of thousands here in Texas.
Texas is the energy capital of the world.
Anyone who threatens Texas energy will have a fight on their hands.

The Biden Admin is spending nearly $50 million a year to do nothing with border wall materials.
What a waste.
Texas is the first state to build our own border wall.
While Biden does nothing, Texas is taking historic action to secure the border.

Last week, arrested a Houston resident in Kinney County for smuggling 12 illegal immigrants.
This is unacceptable.
I’m calling for at least a 10 year mandatory minimum for ANY U.S. resident caught smuggling illegal immigrants in Texas.

House Democrats have the chance to see firsthand the disastrous impact of Biden's open border policies.
Instead they’re bailing.
While the federal government abandons its responsibility to secure the border, Texas continues stepping up to do their job.

Biden’s ENERGY Secretary came to TEXAS to praise CHINA.
The future of our country should NOT depend on China.
Texas energy powers America — and the world.
The Biden Administration can learn from Texas how to restore American energy independence.

Texas law enforcement is on the front lines of the fight against human smuggling at the border.
We must do more to stop it.

A federal court has overturned President Biden’s disastrous catch-and-release policies at our southern border.
This ruling is a win for Texas as we continue to secure the border in the Biden Admin’s absence.
Biden must do his duty & enforce federal immigration laws.

Texas designated Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations last year.
I've repeatedly urged Biden to do the same.
Now, 2 Americans were shot & killed by cartels just across the Texas border.
It's past time for Biden to step up & call these cartels what they are: terrorists.
