Students at Houston ISD continue to improve.
Focus on reading and math is yielding results.
Houston’s districts performed better overall compared to statewide results, with higher passing rates across subjects, a Houston Chronicle analysis shows. houstonchronicle.com/project…

Texas has America’s biggest teacher pay-for-performance program.
It’s working.
Texas is spending almost half a billion on the program.
The teachers earn substantially more & are more likely remain a teacher.
Math & reading scores are improving with those teachers.

The Texas Rangers are the only team in Major League Baseball that doesn't host a Pride Night. This week, they're hosting Faith and Family Night instead.
Meanwhile, MLB just warned Giants pitchers for writing Bible verses on their own caps.
In Texas, we don't punish people for living out their faith. We protect that right.

Early reports show that students in the Dallas ISD are improving test scores.
In Algebra and U.S. history — the district outperformed the state as a whole.
Houston ISD also showed meaningful improvement.

What a loser Hochul is.
During the Championship Playoffs it was announced that Texas ranks #1 for Fortune 500 HQs. A title once held by NY.
Unlike the Knicks title, Texas’s lead over New York in business and new jobs will continue… forever.
Aged like milk.

This is why I am calling for a new State Prosecutor position filled by someone who will actually prosecute criminals.
Also why we must empower the Legislature to impeach DAs who refuse to do their job.
Brown was released from the Travis County Jail in March after receiving a five-year deferred adjudication community supervision sentence following a negotiated plea of guilty for a felony indecent exposure in 2024, which also took place in West Campus.
He has a long list of other crimes.

AUSTIN MAN climbed onto a sleeping woman's bed, claimed he had a gun, and strangled her until she nearly blacked out. She gouged his eye and beat him with a fan to get him off her.
It was the third West Campus apartment Octavius Brown broke into that morning. In the other two, residents woke to find him exposing himself and masturbating inside their apartments.
Octavius Brown has roughly 30 cases since 2013. Of the 14 charges filed since 2021, 9 were dismissed or rejected.
Last time I covered this man he was getting arrested for robbing a gas station while out on bond for exposing himself and masturbating in public for the tenth time.

Congratulations to D’rinda Randall and David Covey on their election as Chair and Vice Chair of the Texas GOP.
Together, we will keep Texas red and ensure our best days are still ahead.

I am deeply humbled and honored to have been elected Chair of the Republican Party of Texas.
To the incredible delegates, you are the most educated and informed electorate in Texas. You read and heard our clear plans and you made your voice known loud and clear. I respected you because you knew what was true.
God truly had His hand on this race. He placed remarkable people in my life at just the right time patriots who saw the vision and gave their time, expertise, and treasure out of pure love for Texas. I am so thankful and humbled by each of you. Today I listened to one of America’s greatest treasures, Pastor John Hagee, declare that truth is the only way to lead. That will be my standard.
Now we have a lot of work to do. I will be calling on the people of Texas to step up, so we can remove every Democrat as we go and make Texas Redder than ever before!
Thank you, delegates. Let’s build a stronger, bolder, and Redder Texas!

Thanks, Elon.
And thanks to you too, Gavin.
This is the final straw.
Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.

The test at the @TexasGoP convention is always who is going to get booed.
I heard only big cheers for Texas Gov. @GregAbbott_TX here as he takes the stage for his first keynote speech to the full gathering since 2018. He is hoping to get elected to an historic fourth term this year. #txlege

Cecilia and I are deeply saddened by the senseless act of violence in Midland.
We are praying for the victims, their families, and the entire community.
I have been briefed on the matter and commend the swift response from the Midland Police Department, DPS and all assisting law enforcement agencies.

Houston ISD sees student test scores soar after the state takeover.
When the state took over HISD had 121 D & F rated campuses.
Now there are zero F rated & 18 D rated.
Also the number of A & B rated campuses more than doubled.
Every child can succeed. foxnews.com/us/texas-largest…

A Texas-built drone boat just made history, executing the first sea drone rescue in combat.
This is what happens when you let businesses innovate and give them freedom to build.
Texas companies are leading the world and strengthening our nation. Texans take care of America.

This ruling is correct.
But it should be banned altogether like it has been in Texas.
🚨 BREAKING:
In a stunning 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court just ruled that parents have the right to opt their children out of LGBTQ indoctrination in public schools!
No more forcing kids into ideological propaganda against their family’s beliefs.
Parental rights win big.
This is a massive victory for moms, dads, and common sense.
Parents belong in charge of their kids’ education — not activist school boards. 👇
