The 2026 @TexasGOP Convention has now concluded! (You can tell because the elephant is gone.)

WOW! What a week in Houston. Republicans are UNITED in the conservative movement that protects our Texas values. Together, we will keep Texas, Texas. UNITY DRIVES VICTORY! 🏁🗳️🔥 #UnityDrivesVictory

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

According to State Rep. @brentmoney, voters need to hear Republicans talking about the issues impacting their lives and their families.

Maybe next Bernie Sanders will explain how, as a guy who has never earned anything but a government salary, he became a multi-millionaire. is no one supposed to notice that? Bernie Sanders ripped off the taxpayers to get rich. Elon Musk got rich by creating value.

CLOSED PRIMARIES: @GregAbbott_TX says a thoughtful process is needed to determine how Republicans register to vote. “Legislators can and should be more responsive to Republicans than a judge can be.”

BREAKING: @GregAbbott_TX announces his support for blocking Democrat interference in future GOP primaries. “There’s more to do on election integrity, but let me be clear about one thing: going forward, only Republicans will vote in Republican primaries.”

BREAKING: Texas GOP Chair @abrahamgeorge concedes to @DrindaRandall

TEXAS GOP CHAIR RACE: @DrindaRandall with a big lead over @abrahamgeorge in most caucuses that have voted. Some have told me they have seen enough.

Early returns in SD caucuses positive for @DrindaRandall. Winning SD 24 and SD 9. Most caucuses still voting

Updated language in the permanent legislative priorities report. The top 8, as voted by delegates later this week, will become the @TexasGOP priorities for the next session

Day 2 of the @TexasGOP convention: -The race for Chair/Vice-Chair -@GregAbbott_TX expected to make some news during his address to delegates -@Burrows4TX to be the first House Speaker in a long time to speak at convention -Work on priorities/platform continues

All those establishment-types who were pre-calling for unity and demanding that the grassroots be ready to "support the nominee," sure are silent now that their boy is out attacking Republicans up and down the ticket...

As a kid, I loved the “Choose Your Own Adventure” series of books. As the story progressed, you’d make decisions for the characters that impacted the development of the plot. In the daily adventure of life, we have an even more important choice: choosing our attitude toward the events around us. In the Book of Joshua, two simple phrases are repeated over and over: “Choose for yourself this day whom you will serve” is the first. The second, “be strong and courageous.” Explicitly stated in the first, it is implied in the second that we can choose to be weak and fearful. The choice can reveal who we serve and the manner in which we do the serving. In the Gospel of St. John, right before being betrayed, Jesus tells His disciples, “Let not your hearts be troubled.” This comes shortly after telling them they’d always have the poor among them, that they would be persecuted for Him, and the like. That sounds like trouble, right? He could tell them that because He gave them something better to focus on. Jesus went on to say He was going to prepare a place for them in heaven. He told them that God the Father loves them and that He is with them. They had a choice. They could let their hearts be troubled by the grind of life in a fallen world, or they could joyfully embrace the future He had for them. This wasn’t just a choice for those disciples. Each of us must do likewise. Like those children’s books, there is a lot we cannot control in life. Our options are often limited by factors outside our reach. And there is a lot of trouble around us. We get to choose our reaction to all of it. We get to choose our perspective. Will we focus on the ills, or will we look for solutions? Will we dwell on our present troubles, or press on joyfully toward eternity? Today, and every day in our glorious adventure through life and liberty, we get to choose if we will be strong and courageous. We get to choose if we will serve the God of Creation. So let your heart not be troubled—be strong and courageous, for we serve a mighty God who loves us.

Unity already a major theme at @TexasGOP convention. “The Republican you didn’t choose is better than the Democrat you don’t want” @SenatorBobHall
