Cecilia & I mourn the horrific terrorist attack against the Jewish community in Sydney.
Hatred and evil will never prevail.
Terrorism must be purged from every corner of the Globe.
We pray for the people of Australia and the entire Jewish community.

This is why I fought to amend the Texas constitution to deny bail for dangerous criminals.
Too often, Houston judges have let criminals arrested for murder back out on the streets to kill again.
No more.

I am calling for legislation that creates a Chief State Prosecutor to actually prosecute criminals like this that DAs in places like Austin refuse to prosecute.
Progressive DAs are literally leading to the murder of Texans.
Those DAs must be held accountable and prosecutorial power must be shifted to actual prosecutors. https://twitter.com/AustinJustice/status/2002831560924610604#m

HEADS UP HOUSTONIANS:
A federal appeals court ruled the U.S. government is liable for Hurricane Harvey's flood damage to homes located upstream of Houston's Addicks & Barker dams in 2017.
There are a few more legal hoops to jump through but relief is now closer than ever.

A ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which held the federal government is liable for flood damage caused by Hurricane Harvey, applies directly to six test cases but opens the door to more claims for compensation.

I’m adding this to the growing stack of evidence about local prosecutors who endanger communities by refusing to prosecute.
Texans deserve a Chief STATE Prosecutor who actually prosecutes criminals rather than setting them loose to harm others.

It takes effect January 1st.
It's a new property rights law that improves land landowners' rights.

I've ordered the extradition from Mexico to Texas of the killer of Eddy Betancourt, a member of the Texas Facilities Commission.
Mexico must refuse to be a sanctuary & refuge for murderers of Texans.
If Mexico wants respect from the US, it must not harbor killers; instead it must ensure that they go through due process and face the consequences of their actions.
