Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) has strayed from its intended purpose: strengthening two-parent families and helping parents achieve self-sufficiency. New TPPF research shows how Texas can reorient funds toward family flourishing without increasing spending.

President Trump came to San Antonio to make the case that America First policies are strengthening Texas – and the nation. In the Lone Star State, the words “Remember the Alamo” still speak to what it takes for a free people to flourish. And “America First” is a similar rallying cry – and commitment – for an entire nation.

Many Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program recipients are students with special needs. For families like Hadley’s, school choice means finding the right teachers, accommodations, and support to help their child thrive.

The median Irving homeowner could face a $250 increase in their property tax bill. With affordability already a major concern for families, now is not the time to add more costs onto taxpayers. #txlege

On Sept. 26, cartel gunmen fired on a U.S. Coast Guard crew on the Rio Grande. That's not crime — it's terrorism. Washington has the FTO designation, the trade leverage, and the moment. It should use all three. Full article by @Mariah_Selene linked below 👇
