Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French: "Dear @realDonaldTrump, I don't get why you are focused on cities in blue states. Please consider rolling the Nat Guard into red state cities, since red states voted for you. Help MAGA first, then when you empty those of illegals and criminals, you can go help the communists."

State Rep. James Talarico: "I'm running for the U.S. Senate. Billionaires have taken over Texas and taken over America -- but together, we can take power back for working people."

Rep. Brandon Gill: "The Biden Administration used discretionary work permits as backdoor amnesty. Today I introduced the Domestic Jobs Protection Act to ensure DACA-style schemes can never again be revived absent the authority of Congress."

Senator Ted Cruz: "Heidi and I are lifting up in prayer the two Lubbock County Sheriff's deputies struck while aiding a motorist near 1-27. As first responders, their service and sacrifice don't go unnoticed, and we wish them a speedy recovery."
