Harvard has a $42 billion endowment. Yale’s is $31 billion. But Biden will tax truck drivers and plumbers to pay the student loans that built those empires.
Election takeaways:
1. Florida had a wave election. Texas had a very good night. Results elsewhere were mixed. Ron DeSantis and his optimistic brand of bold and unapologetic conservatism is a winning brand and the GOP should take note. (1/8)
The murderer is an illegal alien from Mexico who was deported at least twice, according to Univision 45 Houston. When you’re a senator, who supports open border policies that likely led to this tragedy, maybe shut the hell up.

Hey, remember when Democrats tried to fire half the country and turn them into second class citizens because they wouldn’t get a shot that didn’t work?
Ron DeSantis created a FL wave because his optimistic, bold & unapologetic conservatism won hearts & minds. He led, rather than followed polls. He stood for something. He took risks. He rejected moderation. He inspired people. This is the path forward for the GOP. (7/8)
Imagine if Kevin McCarthy took over as Speaker and appointed Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and AOC to Congressional leadership positions. Republicans would be shocked and outraged. But that's what happens in Texas, and most people can't believe it. (1/9)

This Speaker has done more political damage to his own supporters than any in recent history. With this statement, he’s making clear that he doesn’t intend to change a thing unless he’s removed.
“GOP establishment snakes and Democrats alike will use the Paxton trial as a blueprint nationwide to remove duly elected officials whose steadfast principles threaten them… A vote to remove Paxton from office with an overwhelming lack of evidence would green-light the process in
My message to
@BestBuy
is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.
Bring down the price you are charging for 65” OLED televisions, specifically those with a 120k refresh rate and hdmi 2.1. And do it now.
So this case is really shaping up to be about Paxton being willing to break established norms to investigate an out of control FBI, and his employees thinking it was “insane” for a state to challenge federal officers and speculating as to ulterior motives.
For those not following the
@KenPaxtonTX
impeachment trial and want to know how it’s going, the main talking points from impeachment supporters are:
1. They don’t need to prove Paxton committed a crime, and
2. You don’t need evidence of a crime to report one.
5. But the lesson is, the GOP can’t rest on Dem incompetence & 70% of voters believing America is on the wrong track to win elections. It needs a positive message and governing agenda. It needs to stand for something. (6/8)
This is why you don’t base an impeachment on affidavits and witness statements, with no cross examination. Just a brutal takedown of the House’s most important witness.
Crisis can be used to unify or divide a country. George Bush had a 90% approval rating after 9/11 because he chose to unify America around a common cause. Biden has chosen to tear the country apart.
Trigger law states where Dobbs effectively ended abortion: AR, ID, KY, LA, MS, MO, ND, OK, SD, TN, TX, UT & WY. The GOP performed well in all these states. Ohio passed a heartbeat law & the GOP won nearly every statewide election by 20 points. Dobbs wasn’t the problem.
Parents who pull their children from public schools enacting mask mandates in violation of

Drawing CD34 to be a D+15 district was an absolute waste of Flores’ talent & House leadership made a bad call in giving her the short straw in redistricting. She has a bright future and I’m confident will be back in the fight soon enough. (4/8)
2. Texas became more red last night. In 2018, Cruz won by 2%, Patrick won by 5%, Paxton by 3%. Last night, the GOP continued its 28 year streak of winning every statewide office, did so by double digits in every race, & grew its majorities in the State House and Senate. (2/8)

3. Though we outperformed our internal polls statewide, a much smaller red shift than we hoped in the suburbs and valley resulted in narrow losses in the Harris County Judge & Dallas COA races. Losing

Texans elected Republicans statewide by double digits and in both houses of the legislature because Republicans successfully made the case that Democrats shouldn't be in power. They shouldn't turn around and hand over power to Democrats.

4. Obviously, the results from outside Florida & Texas were largely disappointing. We have an outside shot of a one vote senate majority & will likely have a narrow margin in the House. Kari Lake will likely pull it out. (5/8)
As this sham impeachment falls apart under cross examination, I want to remind conservatives that the
@TexasGOP
has stood against it from the beginning. As I said then, due process matters. This colossal waste of time is the result of the House not following it.
100%. House Republicans should choose leadership moving forward that will unify Republicans behind our common goals, instead of handing power to Democrats who use it to persecute our Republican office holders.
🚨Senate finds Paxton NOT GUILTY🚨

This is a false statement, either uninformed or blatantly dishonest, and only helps the left. It’s possible to make a case for your preferred GOP primary candidate without sacrificing your credibility or repeating absurd race baiting Kamala Harris talking points.
As the direct descendent of a slave, I have a hard time understanding Governor DeSantis’ position that transferrable skills learned in bondage are somehow a net benefit.
The Republican Speaker is taking the procedural position that restricting chairs to the majority party as every other state and congress does is using state resources for “political purposes” and is illegal. This baseless & absurd ruling was made solely to protect Democrat power.

As rising inflation threatens his presidency, President Biden is turning to the federal government’s antitrust authorities to try to tame red-hot price increases that his administration believes are partly driven by a lack of corporate competition.

Rep. Mayra Flores, was one of the faces of a rightward shift in the Latino vote that's upended American politics & captured the attention of national media. The Hispanic community & its shift to the right cannot be taken for granted by Democrats or media.

That would mean we would have been under the mandate for almost a year. Whitley originally enacted the mandate on June 25, 2020.
Far-right billionaires Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks saw significant election victories in Texas despite a white supremacist scandal. Out of 28 House candidates they supported, 11 won their primaries outright, with eight more heading to runoffs in May.

Tucker Carlson Calls For Biden To Be Impeached & For Congress To Investigate His Administration Selling Off Oil From America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve To Foreign Countries

In Arizona, visits to the ER with Covid like illness are plummeting. This is already leading to decreased hosptializations and deaths. Expect this positive trend to continue.
Let’s be clear: The Biden administration has adopted a policy of withholding lifesaving Covid treatment from red states like Texas and Florida. States affected need to act fast and make their own purchases of monoclonal antibodies to ensure supply is not interrupted.
WOW. Read this. The Biden administration is reportedly reducing its supply of monoclonal antibodies to states like Texas. Add this to pharmacies refusing to fill prescriptions for treatments that are saving lives under the direction of the CDC, and the agenda of cruelty is clear.
