Facts breaking brains of school choice critics:
1. A record shattering than 274,000 students applied for Texas Education Freedom Acccounts
2. 1 in 4 awarded students has a documented disability
3. 4 in 5 awarded students have incomes below 200% of the federal poverty level
To place the patient back at the center of healthcare, free market values like price transparency, competition, and patient participation are key. Chairman James Frank demonstrates this in his op ed about the Select Committee on Health Care Affordability.

Everyone who cares about climate should understand this. Texas, with no pro-climate policies, has blown passed California in clean energy. In large part because Texas has less red tape and makes it easier to build.
This line is entirely nonresponsive to the majority position—which is that the prior statutory interpretation was incorrect, and thus that Louisiana had violated other, higher, legal provisions, also born of blood. (It’s also at odds with a lot of the rest of her jurisprudence.)
Great discussion at the @TCCRI 2026 Policy Forum in Austin with Gov. @GregAbbott_TX, @ScottJenningsKY, @RichLowry, and legislative leaders, focused on the principles that have guided America for nearly 250 years and the policies shaping Texas’ future.
As board chairman, I’m proud to advance free-market, limited government solutions that protect freedom and preserve liberty, laying the groundwork for the 90th Legislature and keeping Texas strong.
Imagine how deranged you have to be to say this in public—especially in response to a case that explicitly affirms the line that “distinctions between citizens solely because of their ancestry are by their very nature odious to a free people." Taney? GTFO. https://t.co/QWofHT9UkQ
Governor Abbott joined Texas legislators, leaders, and conservative champions in Austin this afternoon at the @TCCRI Policy Forum to discuss the issues that matter to Texans.
Chief among them: affordability & property taxes.
Together, we will keep Texas the GREATEST place to live, work, and raise a family, guided by the commonsense policies that make our state thrive.
Justice Jackson wrote a 35-page dissent in Chiles v. Salazar about how it should be constitutional to ban counselors from telling a boy he is not a girl.
It was longer than Justice Gorsuch's majority opinion and Justice Kagan's concurring opinion combined.
Come on Houston Chronicle!! There is no “charge” of anything. People simply posted Talarico’s own words on video.
“Half-baked” would be him flipping on meat or y’all pretending that playing a clip of him talking is somehow a “half-baked charge”. #txlege
Whenever the topic is something the media doesn’t like, journalists all become creative writing professors. The press has done everything possible to obfuscate the facts of this story—and it has done so deliberately.
Talarico's words are indicative. They point to a considered, premeditated, fully conscious extremism. A crucial test arose, and Talarico failed it. There is no justifiable reason to put him in the Senate as a reward. https://t.co/ZbpxeDT69s
What can this mean? Emanuel leads with “Republicans are abandoning public schools with vouchers,” then says “Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Louisiana are showing us the way forward for every student.” But Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana all have school vouchers.
