One of the great myths in Texas is that public education is underfunded. To the contrary, through the legislature and local governments, taxpayers have amply funded public education no matter how you frame it. The real story is one of misallocated resources. Read on #txlege 👇👇

The story of New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones accidentally highlights the importance of school choice and standardized testing: two things the political Left opposes.

Freedom is never free. And those who defend it must never be forgotten.
On Veterans Day, we honor the extraordinary men and women who have served our nation with courage, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion to liberty.
Generations of Texans have answered that call, helping defend America exceptional.
Our veterans have given so much of themselves, and their families have sacrificed alongside them. Our gratitude must be more than words. Honoring their service is a sacred responsibility we carry every day.
Because of their courage, America is stronger. Because of their sacrifice, freedom endures.
God bless our veterans, our military families, Texas, and the United States of America!

TCCRI lays out a reform agenda for state family courts.

It is clear that government provides an enormous subsidy to postsecondary education that inflates its price beyond the reach of most families. Providing any more taxpayer money to the system should be rejected.txccri.org/single-post/st…

Observing the efficacy of current reforms on the electric grid before enacting new ones is the best approach the legislature can take for the moment.txccri.org/single-post/st…

Much of the hysteria around data center resource use is built on flawed claims recirculated by media outlets looking for clicks. Case in point: water use for power generation is attributed to data center projects, inflating the final number of opponents point to. This report by clarity on the water question.

Claims that data centers are extreme consumers of water are often exaggerated. In fact, they use water on par with most other industries, and far less golf than courses. TCCRI shows this in its latest testimony.txccri.org/single-post/da…

As we mark #CancerSurvivorsMonth, we applaud innovation that has led to new #MCED tests that detect cancers earlier – and the policies that will make these tests available sooner. More here: abcnews.com/video/13346206…

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.

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 liveily, guided by the commonsense policies that make our state thrive.

Last week, TCCRI concluded its first Energy & Infrastructure Task Force meeting chaired by Senator @PhilKingTX. Focused on Texas' energy needs as new data centers come online, it assembled stakeholders from state government to the private sector to discuss this important issue.

A spot-on commentary by US Rep. Nathaniel Moran. Unless #Congress acts, the US will lose the world’s #pharmaceutical development race, leaving US patients beholden to China for medicines. We can’t allow that. @RepNateMoran tinyurl.com/udfzd7b6

Had a great meeting with @RepPfluger office about the proposed codification of #MostFavoredNation policy. We appreciate your time and the discussion about how drug #PriceControls will only stymie bioscience R&D and harm patients.

Decades of pushing the oil & gas industry out of California has left it vulnerable to Middle East disruptions. California could learn from Texas by working with energy producers to keep supply secure and affordable; policies TCCRI has long advocated.

Reforming the federal 340B program would deliver for patients, but the onus is on Washington to restore accountability and protect patients, employers, and taxpayers alike.txccri.org/single-post/fe…

Our sincere appreciation to @RepNateMoran’s office for taking time to meet to talk about the Administration’s proposed #MostFavoredNation policy and why codifying this approach is a bad idea for American #biopharma innovation and patients.

In its latest white paper, TCCRI takes a deep dive into weather modification and urges policymakers to stand firm against any efforts to ban these technologies. Read the full white paper here.

Almost 100,000 students have applied to Texas Education Freedom Accounts in a little over a week!

There is a HUGE demand for school choice, as we’ve always known.

In Austin today, I was glad to join the @TCCRI Financial Services Policy Summit! Smart, purposeful policy lets Texas continue to lead as America's economic engine, where families thrive and businesses grow!

Early #cancer detection is closer to reality for patients. The #MCEDAct, one of the most important cancer policy achievements in years, has passed! @RepArrington, we thank you for leading this effort through the years and we are grateful to Congress for passage. @JohnCornyn
