This year, we celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary and Texas A&M’s 150th anniversary, carrying forward the land‑grant mission that helped shape our nation’s future.
From 1776 to 1876 to today, these milestones reflect a shared legacy of service, leadership and commitment to the public good.
Our story is part of the American story. Together, we stand to inspire the future generation to be a force for good.
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Today, we honor former President George H.W. Bush on what would have been his 102nd birthday.
“We know in our heart … that our strength is a force for good,” he said of our nation, a call to service that Texas A&M is proud to answer.
Bush lived the values that define Texas A&M: service, character, duty and a commitment to something bigger than ourselves. His final resting place on our campus is a lasting reminder that he will always be part of the Aggie family.
Happy birthday, President Bush.
After nearly 40 years, 75 million records sold, and 35 number-one country singles, Alan Jackson has reached the end of the road. It’s a road that precious few are lucky to travel. Thirty-five years ago on June 7, 1991, the “Chattahoochee” crooner reached a coveted milestone when country legends Roy Acuff and Randy Travis welcomed him into the Grand Ole Opry.
Just weeks after dropping his sophomore album, Don’t Rock the Jukebox, Jackson stepped onto country music’s most sacred stage. There, he joined the ranks of Johnny Cash, George Jones, Patsy Cline, and more.
“The ultimate dream when you’re in country music is to be asked to join the Grand Ole Opry,” Jackson later reflected. “You think about people like Hank Williams, and Mr. Acuff, and George Jones, who stood on that spot of wood. That’s what makes you so nervous — to think about the historical part of the Opry and how it’s played such a part in country music.”

Friends, the spirituality of the Sacred Heart is incredibly rich and beautiful. In fact, when the American bishops gather this summer, we’ll be dedicating our country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in honor of the 250th anniversary of our nation.
In theaters June 9, 11, and 14 is the new film, “Sacred Heart: His Reign Has No End.” I can't think of a better way to enter into this beautiful devotion than by watching this movie.
