A bet’s a bet, Kirsten Gillibrand. Thanks for being a great sport. We had fun settling our NBA Finals wager. The Texas BBQ, Shiner Bock, and Blue Bell were well worth it.

From the air, I saw just how widespread the damage from the recent flooding is. Texas Game Wardens and Texas DPS are working across the affected communities as recovery efforts continue.

I’d like to see a peaceful Iran, with a government that wants to be friends with America. That’d be good for Iran and good for America. That’s what President Trump is trying to achieve.

I believe that President Trump and his administration are teeing up a legal challenge to bring back impoundment. This is a very good thing for the taxpayers. We need to rein in spending and debt!

Trump Accounts will give every child in America a stake in our country and the opportunity to experience the miracle of compound growth. At our roundtable in Austin, we brought together dozens of Texas business leaders to discuss how employers can invest in their employees’ children and help build generational wealth. What began as Brad Gerstner’s bold idea is now a law I was proud to author, with Michael Dell, American Airlines, and businesses across the country building on that foundation. Texas is leading the way in creating a new generation of owners, investors, and capitalists.

I asked counterterrorism expert Kyle Shideler whether the Muslim Brotherhood partners with the Democratic Socialists of America. His answer: Yes. I asked whether this “Red-Green Alliance” is united by hostility toward America. His answer: Yes, and by a revolutionary objective of overthrowing the U.S. Constitution.

In the next 6 months, we could see new governments in Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba. If we end up with governments in those countries that want to be friends with America, that’d be the biggest geopolitical shift since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Sen. Chuck Grassley just revealed that Jack Smith sent a subpoena to Verizon to tap my Senate office phone. This comes after learning that nearly 20% of Senate Republicans’ cellphones, including mine, were also subpoenaed. Arctic Frost is the Biden DOJ’s Watergate, and they need to be held accountable.

I held a hearing today in which experts established that the Muslim Brotherhood and DSA communists are united by a shared hatred of America, Israel, Western civilization, capitalism, and democracy, and a revolutionary objective to overthrow the U.S. Constitution. That is why this issue is so critical. The Brotherhood’s American network has spent decades building influence inside our nonprofits, political organizations, universities, courts, and taxpayer-funded programs. Here are my full remarks:

Trump Accounts are Donald Trump’s New Deal. But instead of making Americans dependent on government, they will make every child in America a capitalist. Every child will be an owner. Every child will have a stake. Every child will see that America’s free enterprise system is not something happening far away in Washington or Wall Street — it is something they are part of. I authored Trump Accounts because ownership changes lives. It builds wealth. It teaches responsibility. It creates capitalists who believe in America. The first 250 years of this country were the greatest in the history of the world. With President Trump’s leadership, the next 250 can be greater still. Parents: go to and sign your kids up.

After the Holocaust, Swiss banks refused to return billions in stolen assets to Jews and deliberately hid records. Now banks have gone to court in an effort to silence discussions of these crimes by Jewish organizations demanding accountability. We have an obligation to correct these historic and current injustices, and I will keep fighting to do so.

Illegal aliens are fraudulently claiming welfare benefits to the tune of billions. Current law doesn’t make that a deportable offense, so I’ve authored legislation to do just that. If you steal from American taxpayers and you’re here illegally, you should be deported and permanently barred from reentry.
