Governor Abbott: "For the past four years, Texas has worked around-the-clock to defend our southern border while former President Joe Biden refused to protect our country from an invasion he allowed. Now, we have a Commander-in-Chief in the White House who will do what is necessary to protect Americans."

Rep. Michael Cloud: "Democrats and their media allies went into full-blown hysteria when president Trump paused Biden's going away handouts yesterday so they could review how the government is spending YOUR tax dollars. But when Biden froze border wall funding on his first day in office, there was no mass hysteria from these same people."

State Rep. Brian Harrison: "With Texans being taxed out of their homes, students trapped in failing schools, taxes funding DEI in our public schools and universities... why the hell is the Texas House taking another 5 day vacation?"

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "Incompetence on full display... It's day 9 for a fool who had the job for 4 years and still has NO CLUE of how government, the law, nor the constitution works."
