This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls:
“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.”
“It’s a beautiful thing”
@mayes_middleton Haha This law cost retailers in Texas a billion dollars to implement. And millions to maintain in coming years. That cost will be passed on to Texas consumers in the form of reduced staff , higher food prices less money to for retailers to invest back in the community.

So...like 80% of Valentina Gomez Noriega's campaign donations just go straight to her unemployed brother, Maicoll Gomez Noriega (who lives with her)? Thanks for the heads up @mccloskeyusa, even though we disagree on most other issues, bipartisan distaste for this chuckleskank is not one of them!
Hillary Hickland was instrumental in passing seven strong medical liberty bills during the 89th Legislative Session. TFVC is proud to recommend Hillary Hickland for Texas House to help protect and advance informed consent, medical privacy and vaccine choice!

The Texas State Board of Education will soon begin considering a preliminary list of required readings for public schools.
Parents should be aware that radical ideologues are mobilizing to influence the SBOE as it finalizes these literature standards.
Governor @GregAbbott_TX is taking his Texas Taxpayer plan directly to Texans, ensuring families and homeowners get relief that lasts.
A stronger, more affordable Texas.
Today, I called on local District Attorneys to investigate alleged Sharia “courts” operating in Texas.
These tribunals have no legal authority in our state.
Only Texas laws enforced by Texas courts govern our people.
In this legislative update, Representatives @brentmoney, @olcott4texas, and @NateSchatzline join me to dissect the need to ban Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying, restore prosecutorial powers to the Attorney General, and expound on Rep. Money's bill to completely ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES over the next five years.
It’s a great day for TX students, parents & teachers!

Breakdown of key changes between SB2 and HB3:
Both chambers are doing excellent work on school choice! HB3 builds upon the phenomenal work done by Chairman @CreightonForTX, Lt. Gov @DanPatrick, and so many others in the Texas Senate.
It's time to send school choice to @GregAbbott_TX's desk!
In the ongoing culture war, the most vulnerable members of society--our children--are on the frontlines.
Whether it's porn in their libraries, sexually charged performances in a neighborhood restaurant, or sexually oriented devices on the shelves of the family friendly market, children are increasingly confronted with sexually provocative content in public spaces designated for their use.
This is not a passive cultural shift, but rather part of a coordinated effort to normalize the sexualization of children.
The state has a compelling interest to protect children from sexualization, as it leads to their exploitation and is critical to both their safety and natural development.
This includes safeguarding the community spaces designated for their use.
Pornographic materials do not belong in libraries. Sexually oriented performances do not belong in front of children. Sex toys have no place on the shelves of family-friendly markets.
These are simple, common sense principles that align with the fundamental goal of protecting children.
I applaud Representative-Elect Hillary Hickland for filing HB 1549, which will ensure that obscene devices are no longer sold or displayed in public retail establishments commonly frequented by families and children.
