As my FIRST act on the Texas House's DOGE committee, I filed HB-3743.
It REPEALS section 651.004 of the Texas Government code, which mandates a rigid 1-to-11 manager-to-employee ratio across ALL state agencies.
No wonder the BUREAUCRACY runs SO DEEP! It's time to empower our state agencies by optimizing their workforce.
This code is unnecessary, and it's time to remove the BLOAT!

Today I filed HB 3657 which imposes a mandatory 30-day placement in disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP) if a student engages in assault or harassment of a school district employee.
Too many good educators are leaving the profession they love because of the out of control behavior of too many students who have learned that there are no consequences for their behavior under the current system. THIS HAS TO STOP!! #txlege
I hate stepping off into this, but my biggest problem with everything going on with this school voucher thing is that the governor of our state is saying “the public schools are failing your children.” Brother, you control the agency that has power over the public schools!
So Joe Biden is giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a guy who funded Race Marxist prosecutors across the country that led to a historic rise in violent crime and death in Democrat run cities, and a warmonger who lied about Benghazi, murdered Muammar Gaddafi, turned Libya into a failed state, and whose campaign funded the Russia Hoax, which resulted in years of national turmoil and the unjust impeachment of a sitting US President.
Got it.
CALL TO ACTION: Learn History of the 20 Texas Regional Education Service Centers and ABOLISH THEM #txed#txlege

Return the money to taxpayers. Or better yet, pay and train the teachers with the money he spent on all the #edtech bullshit.

@lynnsdavenport@RealBPhil@TPPF 🎯 This whole "funding ghost students" is a big pile of manure. Period! Reading the hyperbolic propaganda filled article by TPPF made me physically nauseous.
Do any of the people writing this junk have hands-on experience fighting for families in public schools?
@HicklandHillary@MrsLAinsworth It isn't only the tool. It's the way all schools go into lockdown mode, like prisons during lengthy STAAR weeks. It's having to hire all of the extra subs for hall monitors and extra classroom monitors, etc.
@HicklandHillary Fire Mike Morath. Abolish the TEA. Overhead costs and salaries aren't reduced when kids are out sick. Funding schools by ADA is completely ridiculous.
My initial response to this post/article was disgust that made me feel physically nauseous. Schools cannot escape overhead costs and educator salaries. Paying twice for students who transfer? Hyperbolic propaganda much? Remove barriers? How disconnected from reality! #AbolishTEA
Another $2.9 billion to fund empty desks? Enrollment-based funding would require Texas to fund half a million empty desks.
Let’s focus on improving student engagement and outcomes, not funding.

As Congress debates re-electing the ‘accidental’ speaker Mike Johnson, conservatives across the country should remember Speaker Mike cast the deciding vote to allow a secret court (FISA) to search American records without a warrant and to send $60 BILLION to Ukraine.
Pathetic.
LOL. Everything old is "new" again. Good luck in 2025, America.
2002: Invasion - Do something about illegal immigration before it's too late!
2015: Sold Out - Do something about H1B and all the other Big Tech visa boondoggles before it's too late!
2019: Open Borders Inc. - Do something about all the Big Tech titan$ controlling immigration & free speech before it's too late!

57% increase in funding, but teacher pay has only increased by 7%. The quality of education has declined! Texas public education doesn’t have a funding problem—it has a government problem, Yes, school boards and administration.
Tonight, I forced a vote to block Biden from canceling $4.65B of Ukraine’s debt at the expense of U.S. taxpayers. His plan shifts the burden onto hardworking Americans already struggling with inflation. Sadly, the Ukraine 1st, America Last Caucus defeated my resolution.
I’m committed to getting President Trump’s nominees confirmed by the Senate immediately.
Democrats will do everything they can to stonewall the Trump agenda, and we need a Senate Majority Leader who will fight to get it done.
