    What to know what is really happening around the state, including in the halls of state congress?

    I highly recommend the Texas Scorecard https://texasscorecard.com/ It is definitely a conservative site. You can subscribe on the site - box on the upper right.

    I subscribed to their daily emails, which are concise and to the point Give them a looksy and stay informed on Texas news.

    Here's a sample of today's email:


    President Trump to Cancel Student Visas of Pro-Jihadist Protesters
    • President Donald Trump has signed an executive order promising that the federal government will deport students who participated in “pro-jihadist” protests. Valorie Muñoz has the background.
    • Back in April, more than 30 students were arrested for physically assaulting and threatening staff, establishing encampments, and vandalizing property during a pro-Palestine protest at the University of Texas at Austin.
    • Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said his agency will deny and revoke visas for those discovered to be Hamas supporters.
    • The presidential order also gives federal agencies 60 days to review and present potential actions to combat antisemitism on university campuses



    Gov. Abbott Directs State Agencies To Reject ‘Woke’ Gender Ideologies
    • In a directive to state agency heads, Gov. Greg Abbott is instructing them to adhere to state and federal law. That includes, reports Sydnie Henry, President Donald Trump’s recent executive order rejecting “radical sexual orientation and gender identity ideologies.”
    • The governor's directive follows several actions taken by the Trump administration to reverse policies implemented during the Biden-Harris era.
    • Last week, President Trump issued an executive order designed to defend women from gender ideology extremism and restore biological truth to the federal government. Additional actions from Trump include protecting minors from chemical and surgical gender mutilation and disallowing “transgender” individuals from openly serving in the military.
    • “All Texas agencies must ensure that agency rules, internal policies, employment practices, and other actions comply with the law and the biological reality that there are only two sexes—male and female.” – Greg Abbott



    Houston Mayor: Police Will Focus on 'Local Issues,' Not Deportations
    • Houston Mayor John Whitmire said this week that his police department is not helping U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with operations. Joseph Trimmer reports there are estimated to be a half-million illegal aliens in the Houston area.
    • The mayor revealed that while ICE made arrests targeting violent, illegal alien criminals, the Houston Police Department did not participate. He said HPD would focus on enforcing local and state laws without regard to the immigration status of the people they investigate.

      I sure hope the illegal head count for Houston is wrong. But I can see it being true.

        Spot on. They have been estimating that garbage for years. I can only assume inside loop 610! But inside the beltway there are at least 3 to 5 million. The sanctuary city label has helped the growth.

        Who really believes the estimates anywhere. The dems always ran on 11 million in the US but I saw a story the other day where they estimated 18 million. Who is they?

                      They've been throwing around 11 million for decades. My guess, that number is currently closer to 45 million nationwide.
