    In keeping with his promises to secure the border where the Biden admin continues to fail, has committed the support of the TX National Guard to assist DPS with arrests. I applaud his ongoing efforts to address this humanitarian crisis.

    HUGE news out of the PUC and ERCOT last week. Reorganizing the funding within the system to promote and incentivize "reliable" power means a more healthy and robust grid for all Texans. This is a huge win for Texans!

    Don - in all sincerity: how would you go about arresting them in Washington DC, considering Texas law enforcement has no jurisdiction outside of state lines & neither Capitol or DC police, nor the feds, will do so. I’d like to know, legally & logistically, how would you do it?

    How about we send some folks to go arrest them and bring them back to Texas? Stop enabling them and impose some real consequences.

    Personally, I think it’s pretty disgusting that Democrats are putting together “care packages” for elected officials who have had funds raised for them and have other $ coming in. How about you send those care packages to families in Dallas that actually need them?

    💙 Our Dems in DC said they’d appreciate care packages from home. Before 5pm Tues, we're collecting Dr. Pepper, salsa, hard candy, hairspray, travel toiletries, hand sanitizers, sewing kits, first aid, and/ or $ to pay shipping. TY! 📍 9am-5pm, M-F 1414 N. Washington Ave, Dallas

    Pretty sure there’s a CVS around the corner from their luxury hotel. Y’all are just embarrassing yourselves at this point. Time to come home and stop the fake drama.

    Not only securing the border where the Biden Admin has failed — but also disincentivizing the human/drug smuggling and sex trafficking. Texas is leading the effort to address this humanitarian crisis with a comprehensive plan of action.

    Biden opened the floodgates on our southern border. Texas is stopping it. The & have started arresting illegal migrants coming across the border & putting them in jail. No more catch & release.

    Unbelievably tone deaf. Reminder that Texas Ds in DC have raised millions of dollars for this charade & are still collecting a $221 daily per diem from TX taxpayers. Further, they could walk one block from their luxury hotel to buy these items on their own dime. Hope this helps

    Texas Provides a Model for Conservative Healthcare Reform. It is a "market-friendly way to help Texans access the care they need." It reduces prescription drug costs, increases access to providers & improves outcomes for women and children.
