ONTO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 🤘 #HookEm

LaVon and I spent the last two days in Washington, D.C. at new senator orientation. At times it felt like drinking from a firehose. At other times I found myself deeply moved. I want to share a few highlights. We spent time with Democrats and Republicans together, getting to know each other as people. That’s where common ground begins. Over dinners and at caucus meetings, I could feel the beginnings of productive, friendly relationships. On the Senate floor, I sat at a desk where generations of remarkable men and women have sat before me. I am humbled that God, and the people of Kansas, have given me this privilege. I also want to thank my new colleague, Senator Jerry Moran, for hosting me in his office. I look forward to working with him. There’s so much more I could share. For now, I’ll just say it again: I am grateful for this opportunity to serve the people of Kansas and our country.

Cornyn says here that Talarico expressed an interest in keeping on some of his casework staff (Cornyn's Dallas office houses a well-regarded casework operation)

Thank you to six former Speakers for agreeing to serve as my transition team as I prepare to become Speaker of the Texas House.  They are all friends who understand how the House works best for the people we serve.

Texans are tired of sending their tax dollars to California. That's why I filed bills to expand Medicaid, bring our tax dollars home, and lower healthcare costs for all of us.

The contrast between #txlege House leader @Senfronia4Texas who shares her power And @DanPatrick who clings to his Could not be greater. Elections have consequences, Dan. And yours is that you are fired. @VikkiGoodwinTX has the consent of the governed. You do not. #txlege

Absolutely BULLSHIT. What good does a toll road do for traffic when its cost prohibitive?

Every time the RINO Establishment lost in the POTUS primaries to Trump, they preferred to burn it all down rather than pass the MAGA agenda. They usually got their wish, but they took heavy casualties in the aftermath. Cornyn out. Paul Ryan out. Tillis out. Collins out. Cassidy out. Graham out. McConnell out. Romney out. Flake out. McCarthy out. Corker out. Toomey out. Burr out. These temporary midterm losses sting, but the long term cleansing of the RINO establishment allows MAGA to rebuild the GOP machine in our image - as a nationalist, populist party. Fight on.

My first priority as your AG-elect is to rebuild the Attorney General’s office. Years of corruption, partisan zealotry, and incompetence have left it hollowed out and demoralized. I’m ready to hire good people and build a solid foundation for the work we need to do.
