Texas is the beating heart of America — strong, free, and full of promise. We’ll defend our values, protect our future, and keep Texas shining bright. See you Sunday at 6:00 PM. Let’s roll!

The battle lines between capitalism and socialism were clearly drawn last night. Texas is now the unrivaled HQ for capitalism in the US. We lead the country in finance sector employment & new stock exchanges. Capitalism always prevails. Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than all of the social programs in the world. We will secure capitalism for the future of our country and deny the expansion of socialism that is creeping across the US.
💯 It is now in our Constitution that only US citizens can vote in Texas elections.
🚨BREAKING: Voters in Texas have APPROVED a ballot question requiring citizenship to vote
Join me for a moment of silence for NYC. Thoughts & prayers. 🙏
1 in 4 ICE arrests happen in Texas. The Texas Dept. of Public Safety is assisting ICE. We will keep working with the Trump Administration to arrest, detain, and deport illegal immigrants.
After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.
Austin City Council members using your property tax dollars to give to political organizations. That should ALREADY be illegal. If not, we must make it illegal next session. In the meantime, if you live in Austin, go vote on Tuesday AGAINST Prop. Q -- against raising your property taxes even more. statesman.com/news/local/art…
It’s game day in Texas. We kicked it off last night with an incredible tailgate with @TexasFootball longhorns. Hook ‘em 🤘
I’ve finally decided on my Halloween costume. Everyone stay safe trick or treating. Happy Halloween!
This month, I crisscrossed Texas to get out the VOTE! Texans can lower property taxes, make communities safer, empower parents, and secure our elections. Early voting ends TOMORROW. Election Day is next Tuesday. Let’s keep Texas strong—go vote!
Kemah is fired up and ready to vote! Texans are voting to secure our elections, protect parental rights, and keep violent criminals behind bars. Early Voting is underway. Let’s defend Texas values - vote early!
Great views today of the Gulf of America from the beautiful Galveston Island.
We are using the Texas Guard, the Dept. of Public Safety, & Dept. of Transportation to clean up & eliminate homeless encampments in Austin. We are looking at other cities across Texas that need this action. Cities should join this public safety action. cbsaustin.com/news/local/gov…
Today I joined the Texas Federation of Republican Women. They work millions of hours to get out the vote. We talked about GOTV to pass constitutional amendments that fix the broken bail system & keep dangerous criminals behind bars, that ensure only US citizens vote in our elections, and that bolster parental rights.
El Paso is fired up and ready to vote! Texans know what’s at stake: ✅ Lower property taxes ✅ Stronger bail laws ✅ Secure elections Let’s finish the job. Vote early and VOTE YES on all 17 Constitutional Amendments.
Democrats admit that they want the government shutdown to continue because they are using American families as leverage. Americans see through such callous political posturing. It’s time Democrats end their shutdown charade & put hardworking families first.
🚨 @WhipKClark, the number two House Democrat, on the Democrat Shutdown: "Of course there will be families that are going to suffer... but it is one of the few leverage times we have." These people are SICK!
Today, I joined sheriffs & law enforcement officers from across South Texas to honor Sheriff Larry Busby for 44 years of dedicated service to Texas. Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to protect our communities & uphold law & order. Texas stands with them always.
