Yesterday, the Lone Star State celebrated San Jacinto Day. This victory secured Texas’s independence from Mexico. For nearly 10 years, Texas was its own independent republic. And in 1845, Texas was admitted to the Union as the 28th state. May God continue to bless Texas!

🚨 Why do Texans fly the Lone Star flag at the same height as the American flag? Because Texas wasn’t just another territory, we were the independent Republic of Texas. Our own president, currency, army, and treaties with France & Britain from 1836 to 1845. We chose to join the United States as an equal, not a colony. That’s why it’s the only state legally allowed to fly our flag that high. It’s history. God Bless Texas.

I’m thankful to be in Austin, Texas, today on behalf of the Texas Ibogaine Initiative. In a few hours, we’ll be marking an important legislative milestone with a hearing before the Texas Senate Public Health Committee and its Chairwoman, Senator Lois Kolkhorst. Texas Senate leadership has my gratitude for giving their time and thoughtful consideration to the opportunity at hand.

.James Talarico: As our state seceded from the Union, the Texas legislature removed Sam Houston from office because he refused to swear an oath of loyalty to the Confederacy. Sam Houston is a Texas hero because he did right and suffered the consequences. What would Sam Houston, who put Texas before himself, say about Ken Paxton, who puts himself before Texas? What would Sam Houston say to all of us at this critical moment in Texas history? I think he would say, ‘Do right and risk the consequences.’

As an Apache pilot, I flew 55 combat missions. Before each one, I knelt by the tail rotor and prayed the Lord’s Prayer, ready to meet God if it was my last flight. I carry that same resolve into Congress. Every day I thank Jesus Christ for the honor of representing nearly a million Texans. I take Texas grit, Texas values, and Texas strength straight to Washington. That’s representation.

Texas isn't just big—it's got history so wild it sounds made up. Most folks have no clue about these 10 insane facts that are 100% real. Picture this: For nine whole years, from 1836 to 1845, Texas wasn't a state at all—it was its own independent country. The Republic of Texas had its own president, printed its own money, fielded its own army, and even had diplomatic relations with other nations. It wasn't just a rebellious territory; it was a full-on sovereign nation that later chose to join the United States. Then there's the Texas Constitution. It's longer than the entire U.S. Constitution—clocking in at over 90,000 words, making it one of the longest governing documents anywhere. Why so wordy? Texans built in strict limits on government power because they never trusted centralized authority after breaking away from Mexico. And that Lone Star flag you see everywhere? Texas earned a special perk when it joined the Union: It's the only state legally allowed to fly its state flag at the same height as the American flag. No other state gets that honor, because Texas came in as an equal partner, not just another territory. Speaking of flags, six different ones have flown over Texas soil: Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederacy, and the United States. That's more national flags than any other state can claim—it's literally the 'Six Flags Over Texas' story in real life. Here's one that blows minds: Under the terms of its 1845 annexation agreement, Texas still has the legal right to split itself into up to five separate states without needing Congress's permission. It's never happened, but the option's still on the table. Now zoom out to South Texas—the legendary King Ranch sprawls across more than 825,000 acres. That's bigger than the entire state of Rhode Island. We're not talking a family farm; this place is basically its own small country, running cattle, horses, and history since the 1850s. Independence didn't come easy. When Texas declared itself free from Mexico in 1836, only 59 brave men signed the declaration. Fifty-nine signatures changed everything, turning a province into a nation that would grow into America's second-largest state. Then came the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836—the fight that sealed Texas independence. It lasted just 18 minutes. In less time than a long TikTok scroll, Sam Houston's forces crushed Santa Anna's army: 630 Mexican soldiers fell, while only nine Texans died. That's how fast freedom was won. As the Republic, Texas racked up serious debt. When it joined the U.S., the deal included America taking on that debt—but in exchange, Texas gave up huge chunks of land that are now parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. It was a massive land giveaway to erase the bills. Finally, the Alamo. In 1836, around 200 Texan defenders held that mission against thousands of Mexican troops for 13 straight days. They all perished, but their stand bought Sam Houston precious time to rally an army, leading straight to that lightning victory at San Jacinto. 'Remember the Alamo' isn't just a slogan—it's the reason Texas won its freedom. Texas history is full of these jaw-droppers. Drop your favorite Texas fact in the comments, and follow for more stories they don't teach in school. Don't mess with Texas—it's got the receipts to prove why.
