Round Rock ISD Questioned Over $5 Million Contract With Indicted Vendor

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "Trump and his MAGA crew are targeting Planned Parenthood - not because of budgets, but because they refuse to stay quiet about abortion rights. Now, over a million Medicaid parents could lose access to basic care. You don't get to strip care from a million people just because you're mad folks won't sit down and shut up. This is bigger than Planned Parenthood - it's about silencing anyone who dares to fight back."

Rep. Keith Self: "The U.S. just passed $37 trillion in national debt and is already well on its way to $38 trillion. Yet, the Senate is having issues passing a measly $9.4 billion in rescissions? No wonder we are where we are today. Washington is ADDICTED to spending YOUR hard-earned money."

Rep. Troy Nehls: "ICE agents have been targeted in two ambush attacks over the last few days. This is a direct result of the Left's dangerous rhetoric. The men and women of ICE are patriots and they deserve our support. I proudly stand with ICE. Do you?"

Rep. Beth Van Duyne: "This was a once in a 1,000 year weather event, with the river rising 26 feet in 45 minutes. Politicizing the grief and tragedy so many Texas families are experiencing is just beyond disgusting."
