I spoke to Sid @MillerForTexas last evening. Sid said it was all a big misunderstanding, that he is a life-long Republican and would never support a Democrat. That’s good enough for me. #txlege

Texans are heartbroken over the news of a shooting in Midland. Please join Jan and me in prayer for the victims, their families, and the city of Midland. Please also pray for our brave first responders who put themselves in harm's way to keep the Midland community safe. We thank them for their courage.

𝗜𝗖𝗬𝗠𝗜: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐳𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐬 I am very proud of Senate Bill 5, a bill I wrote last legislative session that established the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT). DPRIT is focused on Alzheimer’s research in Texas. Texas is #3 in the nation in Alzheimer’s diagnoses, and #2 in deaths related to Alzheimer’s disease. I took on this issue because I’ve seen the pain and suffering this terrible disease causes for our families. Alzheimer’s doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed; it affects the families who stand beside them. Hispanics have a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease than the general population. We need to find out why. Of the 27 top counties in Texas for Alzheimer’s, 23 are on or near the border. I wasn’t looking to receive an award. But, last Monday, I was honored to accept the @alzassociation Humanitarian of the Year Award for my work to pass SB 5, which established DPRIT. Over 1,000 delegates were at the Alzheimer’s Association’s 2026 Advocacy Forum, with over 50 delegates from Texas. Because of DPRIT, Texas will be a national leader in Alzheimer’s research. I am proud of what we’re building together, right here at home. I want to thank former Speaker Tom Craddick for being my partner in the House in passing this momentous legislation, which commits $300 million per year for 10 years for Dementia research and prevention. Texas voters overwhelmingly approved the Constitutional Amendment creating DPRIT last year. #txlege

On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched the invasion of Normandy, a turning point in World War II and the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe. Today, we remember the heroes who gave everything for freedom. Their legacy will live on forever. #DDay

Today, I met with the German Consul General at the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., to discuss the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty. Interestingly enough, in Germany, all students are required to take a religious or ethics class every year starting in elementary school. She was surprised that American schools do not require it. I told her about Senate Bill 10, the 10 Commandments bill, and SB 11, the school prayer bill, that both passed last legislative session in Texas. I am now at the White House for a presidential dinner in the Rose Garden. The President upgraded the Rose Garden with marble instead of grass. President @realDonaldTrump is restoring and revitalizing the White House after Biden let it fall into disrepair for 4 years.
