🚨 A Texas 4-year-old got a THC lollipop at school.
This is exactly what SB 3 was designed to prevent. The Texas Legislature passed a bill to ban intoxicating THC products like gummies, candies, and drinks that can appeal to children.
Governor @GregAbbott_TX vetoed it.
Since hemp-derived THC became legal, Texas poison-control calls involving THC have nearly tripled—from 923 in 2019 to 2,592 in 2024. Calls involving children age 5 and under increased 495%!
Texas shouldn't be following California's path of normalizing high-potency THC products. We should be protecting kids.
How many more children have to be exposed before action is taken?
Watch. Share. Speak out.

Why are subways trains so dangerous now?
"Since New York legalized cannabis in 2020, violent incidents have occurred in the subways, some suggestive of cannabis-induced psychosis. Below is a sampling of some of these incidences:" https://t.co/ENUJ87x0rb
For the first time since 2024, the House passes bipartisan legislation to send billions of dollars in new security assistance to help our democratic ally Ukraine fight against Putin’s bloody illegal war and imperial aggression. Let’s stand strong for democracy and freedom against the oligarchs and authoritarians.
‼️BACON: Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night with ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles, and we better be there to help them, or in the history books it's gonna say, "United States failed when it's most needed."
“Are we gonna stand with good, or are we gonna stand with evil? That's what this is about tonight. Ukraine is a democracy, it's a free market, it's rule of law. It's been invaded by a dictator who throws his enemies off of roofs, poisons his adversaries, and he attacked his neighbor that's four times smaller than Russia. What's the goal? To eliminate their independence, to eliminate them as a culture, as a people, 'cause he wants to control those old borders of his that he has had. We gotta stand for the good side tonight. What does this bill do? It provides $1.3 billion in direct military aid, and $8 billion in military sales, and provides tough sanctions on Russia. We should have done this a year ago. We could have done this in a bipartisan way year ago, but we have not. This decision is needed now. Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night with ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles, and we better be there to help them, or in the history books it's gonna say, "United States failed when it's most needed." And I know this, I want this House to stand on the right side. I want Republicans to stand where Ronald Reagan would be if he was here right now. Ronald Reagan would be voting yes tonight. He'd be standing up for Ukraine and opposing Russia. This is our Churchill moment or our Chamberlain moment, and by God, I'm gonna choose Churchill, and this House better choose Churchill tonight. With that, I yield” - @RepDonBacon on Thursday, June 4th, 2026
🚨 The House just voted 218-204 to move forward on the discharge petition to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia. The House will vote on final passage tomorrow. This is our Churchill moment and we must pass the test.
Take note. Marijuana money does not fix Colorado roads. However, it will increase the disease of addiction and cause serious mental illness and more road fatalities. Don’t be like Colorado.
Kasparov: Any compromise with absolute evil is a victory for evil. For years the West thought business would restrain Putin from aggression.
Putin understood the opposite: business would restrain the West from responding. 4/
“A historic victory for Ukraine!”

How is it that 80-90% of Americans agree that our public officials should not be able to legally enrich themselves based on insider stock information they have and yet the Stock Act which would prevent exactly that, never manages to be passed?
@MargaretHoover talks about the Stock Act with @JohnAvlon in the latest episode of "How to Fix It."
We are grateful to stand beside Reps. @PeteSessions, @RepAndyHarrisMD, and NDASA as we advocate for the marijuana safety carve out on Capitol Hill.
Without Congressional action, truckers and pilots won’t be tested for THC under Schedule III.
We need change NOW!
Taiwan makes almost 70% of the world’s semiconductors and more than 90% of the most advanced chips powering your phone, your car, and the AI race.
If China controls Taiwan, the Communist Party gains leverage over the world’s most critical tech supply chain. That’s not just a threat to Taiwan’s 23 million people living in a thriving democracy — it’s a threat to global freedom, security, and the future itself.
.@GeorgeWill: Don Bacon is going home to Omaha. His departure illustrates a conundrum inside a paradox: Those you wish would leave Congress linger. And those you wish would stay depart because of traits that make them worthy legislators: seriousness and spines.
