It’s really a shame that the “Constitution State” — a place George Washington relied on for provisions when winning our independence; home to the first planned city, New Haven, in between other Historic places from Stamford to Stafford Springs, that helped define our nation. You can’t tell the story of 🇺🇸 without Connecticut. This says everything about @CTDems… at their core, there is no love of country. To be a “progressive” now means you have to destroy history, and replace everything that came before, by hook or by crook, that’s left politics. Nutmegger’s deserve better.

@SenWarren You could give “the typical American” 11 MILLION years and they still would not create PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, OpenAI, xAI, Neuralink, Boring Company, Ad Astra, all while single-handedly saving free speech for all mankind.

@RoKhanna @BernieSanders Your ideas are disgusting. Why don't you instead try to be more like Elon?
Shame on you.

Ask your senators the following:

Are you willing to dedicate weeks of uninterrupted debate time on the Senate floor—working through weekends and planned recesses—to pass the SAVE America Act?

It won’t be easy, but we won’t regret it.

I’m all in.

Who’s with me?

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

We will *not* regret putting in the hard work to pass the SAVE America Act—even though it will take weeks, requiring hard work.

We will regret *not* passing it.

Are the long weekends and recesses really worth losing our country?

Of course not.

@LeaderJohnThune, let’s do this!

[Y @EveofAI]

@JohnCornyn @LeaderJohnThune The majority of THE PEOPLE demand this! Isn't that majority enough for you? Scumbag.

SpaceX Starbase: Helping Lift Brownsville Out of Poverty and Bring Wealth to Local Families

For many years, Brownsville and the Rio Grande Valley carried the difficult reputation of being among the poorest regions in the United States. High poverty rates shaped daily life for families across Cameron County for decades. In the 1990s, the area was even designated a federal Rural Empowerment Zone in recognition of these long-standing challenges.

Today, the trajectory is changing.

Poverty rates in Cameron County have been declining steadily. They fell from the mid-30s percent range around 2010 to 28.9% in the 2015–2019 period, and now stand at 24.8% according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau data (2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates).

While the rate is still higher than state and national averages, the consistent downward trend reflects real, measurable progress.

A New Wave of Investment and Job Creation

Recent data from the Greater Brownsville Economic Development Corporation’s FY 2025 Annual Impact Report shows strong momentum.

Between October 2024 and September 2025, the organization helped attract $183.7 million in new investment and supported the creation of 3,288 jobs.

The report also shows 10,604 jobs retained during that period and 7,116 jobs already committed for 2026.

These figures reflect broad economic activity across the region, with SpaceX’s Starbase playing a significant role as a major anchor project.

Starbase has brought thousands of direct jobs to the area and has helped attract suppliers and related investment. This type of large-scale development is helping address long-standing needs for stable employment and skills development in Brownsville and surrounding communities.

Local voices are also noticing the change.

Former Brownsville City Councilwoman Jessica Tetreau, @JessicaTetreau at Starbase beach at sunset described the shift she has witnessed in her own community:

“Before, in the past in Brownsville, people would talk about the brain drain, how all of our youth would have to leave to San Antonio, to Austin to find jobs… And now these young people that are from the community are finding these amazing jobs.”
She shared that in her own neighborhood, parents are now working at SpaceX, and children are growing up excited about launches and rocket engineering, “just like their fathers.”
“The kids that are graduating from UTRGV and local universities, they’re coming to work here. It’s really exciting. Engineering is now one of the hottest and exciting things to have in this area.”

Direct Support for Education and Downtown Renewal

In addition to job creation, there has been targeted investment in the community’s future. In 2021, Elon Musk and the Musk Foundation committed $30 million to the area. $20 million to schools across Cameron County and $10 million for the revitalization of downtown Brownsville.

Brownsville Independent School District received more than $2.4 million of the school funding. The money has supported the expansion of Career and Technical Education programs, helping prepare young people for the skilled jobs now available locally.

The downtown portion included a $1 million grant to the Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation to strengthen the historic core of the city.

Below are a few photos I took while touring downtown Brownsville with Jessica Tetreau right after Starship Launch 12, showing the renewed energy through spots like Main Street Deli, a local bookstore, and Dodici Pizza & Wine.

A Community Moving Forward

Brownsville has always been a resilient place. In recent years, it has gained access to meaningful new employment opportunities, investment in education, and visible improvements in its downtown.

These developments are helping lift families, create local wealth, and support the renewal of the community.

Challenges remain, as they do in any place working to overcome long-term economic hardship. But the direction is positive.

New jobs are being created, young people are gaining access to better training, and the heart of the city is showing signs of renewal.

This is the quieter but very real story of progress happening in Brownsville today that legacy media will keep quiet about.

Here we go again; the House is going to debate a clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program tonight.

This program is used to surveil Americans without a warrant.

I’ll be joining the @cspan debate on the floor in the next hour… in opposition to this madness.
