Governor Abbott Pledges Ongoing Support for Flood-Ravaged Hill Country
Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "The Supreme Court just greenly Trump's plan to gut the federal workforce. Without Congress. Without oversight. Without care for the chaos it'll cause. We're talking about real people, real jobs, and the services folks count on every day. This is their playbook: cut, gut, and call it 'efficiency.'"
State Rep. Brian Harrison: "Less than two weeks until special session starts... still no agenda. I'm announcing that I will refile my bills to cut - and ELIMINATE - all property taxes in Texas. 9And no, I do not care if it's on the call or not.) It's time we put Texas TAXPAYERS first!"
Rep. Pat Fallon: "Anyone who observed Biden's time in the Oval Office would know that his mental acuity was in question. Instead, administration officials and left-wing media worked overtime to hide his mental decline from the public. Kevin O'Connor's refusal to answer questions and plead the Fifth today is just the latest attempt as a coverup. The American people deserve transparency!"
Rep. Chip Roy Press Office: "The American people overwhelmingly want secure borders and mass deportations. Amnesty or restricted immigration enforcement undermines both commitments."
