Thanking God that our President, First Lady, and attendees of the WH Correspondents’ dinner are seemingly safe and the suspect has been taken out. As we continue to monitor, may God bless and protect our country and her leaders.

Speaker @Burrows4TX is right to point out that this 18-year-old Houstonian conspiracy perpetrator apparently got her "training" playing Roblox, and her parents didn't know anything about these "games" she was playing... Fortunately, the attack on the synagogue was thwarted, and no one was physically hurt, but was the cause a "Big Tech" game program "teaching" no morality at all? Regardless, as an adult, her life took a serious turn for the worse, but eventually, the Big Tech effect en masse is becoming obvious to everyone! #txlege

According to KHOU11 article Hicks’ father stated: “She loves playing these fantasy video games on Roblox. That's what started her out with," he said, adding, "We're not up on the technology of these computers and gaming platforms and all that. We don't know nothing about them."

Texans know that when severe weather hits, being prepared makes all the difference. The Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday runs from April 25–27, giving Texans the chance to purchase key emergency items tax free. From flashlights and batteries to generators and emergency ladders, it’s a great opportunity to get ready while keeping more money in your pocket. The Texas Comptroller estimates Texans will save more than $2 million during this holiday. There’s no limit on how many qualifying items you can purchase, so take advantage and make sure your home and family are prepared. Preparedness is not just smart, it’s essential here in Texas.

🔥🚨BREAKING NEWS: The FBI has issued a warning about a newly discovered pedophilic, Satanist extortion cult targeting children online using platforms including Roblox, Discord, Twitch, Soundcloud, and Telegram to find new victims. The FBI said in their public notice that the cult uses many names, including 676, 764, CVLT, Court, Kaskar, Harm Nation, Leak Society, and H3ll, but “continuously evolve and form subgroups under different monikers.” “To gain access to a majority of these groups, prospective members are required to live-stream or upload videos depicting their minor victims harming animals or committing self-harm, suicide, murder, or other acts of violence,” the FBI said. “The key motivators of these groups are to gain notoriety and rise in status within their groups.” According to the FBI notice, the groups target minors between the ages of 8 and 17 years old, especially LGBTQ+ youth, racial minorities, and those who struggle with a variety of mental health issues, such as depression and suicidal ideation. “The groups use extortion and blackmail tactics, such as threatening to SWAT or DOX the minor victims, if they do not comply with the groups’ requests, manipulate and extort minors into producing CSAM and videos depicting animal cruelty and self-harm,” the FBI warned. The cult is linked to high-profile crimes, including a German teenager accused of murdering his foster family in Romania.

WARNING: Evil Predators Hunted and Killed a 15-Year-Old Girl A Canadian father just exposed how the sick 764 network groomed his daughter Penelope on Roblox, then used blackmail to force self-harm, animal torture, and suicide. She was only 15. This is not a game — it’s pure evil targeting our kids right now. Parents, wake up and check their phones.

It was a privilege to join the Sun City Republican Club this evening with Chairman @TerryWilsonTX, local leaders, and candidates—and to spend time with some of the most dedicated conservatives in Texas. The Texas House’s recent accomplishments have laid a strong foundation—but there’s more to do next session. The road ahead will take all of us coming together and staying focused on what matters most for Texans. When we stand united, there’s no limit to what we can achieve. Grateful to the Sun City Republicans for the invitation to join you tonight, and for the support and energy you bring to advancing the principles Texans expect.

Had a great visit with some of our most dedicated grassroots leaders at the Village Republican Women meeting today, alongside Representatives @LaceyHullTx and @ManoForTexas, Senator @TeamBettencourt, as well as other local leaders and candidates.   I appreciated the opportunity to highlight what the Texas House achieved this past session—and how we’ll build on that momentum next session.   But first, we must unite as a party and rally behind our Republican candidates in the upcoming general election. Our progress depends on staying focused and strengthening our majority.   Thank you @VillageRepWomen for the invitation, and for all you do to keep Texas strong, free, and full of opportunity.

Big win for Texas and the Constitution. Today, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld SB 10 requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms. This decision affirms what we’ve said all along: this law is consistent with our nation’s history and constitutional principles. Texas has always led the way in defending religious liberty and the values that helped shape our country. This decision is a major victory for families, for students, and for the rule of law. Proud of the Texas Legislature for standing strong and grateful to Rep. @CandyNobleHD89 and Sen. @PhilKingTX for championing this effort.

Today we celebrate San Jacinto Day, the moment that secured Texas’ independence and changed the course of history. In just 18 minutes, brave Texans stood their ground and won the freedom that would define our state for generations. That same spirit of independence, courage, and determination still drives Texas forward today. May God forever bless Texas!

This content is disgusting, but the failure to keep it out of the hands of young children is even worse. If the platforms pushing this content aren’t acting responsibility, we owe it to Texas kids to step in. #txlege
Dustin Burrows@Burrows4TX

Protecting Texas children is one of the most serious responsibilities of lawmakers, and we will treat it that way—especially in an increasingly digital world. After recently speaking with Rep. @donfortexas, I was alerted to a graphic, first-person shooter game on the online platform Roblox recreating the tragedy at Robb Elementary and targeting young users. That alone is indefensible. But it’s not an outlier—it reflects a broader failure to prevent violent, explicit, and predatory content from reaching children. Today, I issued an additional interim charge directing the House Committee on State Affairs to take a hard look at these failures and hold platforms like Roblox accountable—focusing on content moderation, age verification, and prevention of exploitation and predatory contact between minors and adults. When nearly 40 percent of Roblox’s 144 million daily users are under 13, there must be zero tolerance for weak safeguards and indifferent oversight. Platforms that allow content glorifying real-world violence are putting children at risk. The Texas House will not look the other way while companies aimed at children permit—and profit from—this kind of environment. Accountability is coming, and we will be ready to act. I am grateful to Rep. McLaughlin for raising awareness of this issue, and to Chairman @KingForTexas and the State Affairs committee for taking this on and working toward better protections for our next generation.

The importance of this cannot be overstated. There are children being groomed, sextorted, and radicalized online, with little to no accountability as the crisis worsens. @TPPF is in your foxhole, Mr. Speaker.

Rep. Don McLaughlin
Rep. Don McLaughlin@donfortexas·
I want to thank Speaker @Burrows4TX for recognizing the seriousness of this issue and moving to address it. What happened at Robb is not a game. It is not entertainment. It is not something to be recreated for shock value or consumed by children online. Turning the murder of innocent children and teachers into virtual content is beyond sick, and the fact that this kind of material can exist on a platform used by millions of kids is a staggering failure. Texas has a duty to stand up for these families, protect our children, and hold platforms accountable when they allow disturbing and exploitative content to spread. I am grateful Speaker Burrows included this issue in the interim charges, and I look forward to working toward real solutions that strengthen child safety and make sure companies cannot profit while exposing minors to this kind of evil.
