Gubernatorial Candidate Colin Allred: "With John Cornyn 'leading' the way, young moms in Texas are being held back. In HTX & SATX, 41% can't go to work or school -- in DFW, it's 38%. Cornyn's done nothing to make childcare affordable or expand education. Texas families deserve better."

Rep. Ronny Jackson: "The Democrats calling for Pete Hegseth's impeachment will FAIL! I unequivocally stand with our Secretary of War!!"
