Cotton is the best natural, breathable, and soft fabric option – and even better – 40% of America's cotton is grown in Texas! Thank you, @SecRollins, for putting our farmers first and boosting the American cotton industry – which contributes billions annually to the Texas economy. #PlantnotPlastic

@SellForTexas19 Congratulations Tom

West Texas: It is the honor of a lifetime to be the Republican Nominee for Congress in Texas' 19th District. We are so proud of the race we've run over the past 6 months, and we know it would not have been possible without the support of our incredible team and the many patriotic volunteers who care so deeply about the issues impacting us as West Texans. As we head into the November Election, we know that West Texas is ready to send an America First Conservative to Congress to Make America Great Again and to stop the radical woke left from destroying the values, freedoms, and principles we hold so dearly. Honored, humbled, and grateful for the trust placed in our campaign and for this opportunity to continue fighting for West Texas. Onward.

On National Rescue Dog Day, we celebrate the incredible rescue dogs who remind us every day what loyalty, resilience, and unconditional love look like. 🐶🐕🇺🇸 At @USDA, protecting animal welfare is more than a mission — it’s a responsibility. Earlier this year, USDA partnered with @TheJusticeDept, @DHSgov, and @HHSgov to crack down on chronic dog welfare violators and strengthen enforcement against animal cruelty and dog fighting operations. This one is especially important to me — we adopted my precious Aussie Shepard, Maggie, almost 10 years ago. She has been my best friend, travel companion, herder of my kids (especially when they were young!), guardian (she is VERY protective of her mom!), and has participated in thousands of conference calls beneath my desk for a decade. Thank you to Lauren and the wonderful team @SavingHopeTx for one of the greatest gifts of all. My family AND our USDA family is so proud to support rescue and adoption efforts that help deserving dogs find safe, loving homes across America. If you’ve ever adopted a rescue dog, you know the truth: they may be rescued, but they end up rescuing us too. ❤️

@RepCuellar @FreshProduceAA Mexican melons coming in from Nogales at $3 a box? How’s that possible when our actual box costs that alone ?

South Texas plays a major role in keeping fresh produce moving across the country, and our ports of entry are critical to that process. I spoke with representatives from the Fresh Produce Association @FreshProduceAA of the Americas and produce industry leaders about infrastructure needs at Southwest ports of entry, food safety standards, and the importance of maintaining efficient cross-border trade. We also talked about the Tomato Suspension Agreement and the role it plays in supporting supply chains, jobs, and stable food prices tied to the produce industry. Thank you to the FPAA and produce leaders for the conversation and for continuing to advocate for South Texas trade and agriculture.

.@SenTedCruz tells TFB members how he worked with @SecRollins and President Trump to push Mexico to live up to its obligations under the 1944 Water Treaty. That water is vital to farmers in South Texas. “We are seeing real victories, but we’ve got to keep going.”

This morning, I met with members of the @TexasFarmBureau to talk about issues directly impacting ranchers, farmers, and rural communities across #TX28. We talked about the importance of a strong agricultural workforce, protecting private property rights, the future of the Farm Bill, and the need for bipartisan cooperation when it comes to supporting American agriculture. We also discussed ongoing water challenges affecting South Texas producers and the importance of continued coordination with Mexico under the 1944 Water Treaty. Agriculture remains one of the most important industries in South Texas and across our state. That is why I have continued working through the appropriations process to support producers, strengthen rural communities, and address issues important to South Texas agriculture. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from agricultural leaders from across Texas and exchange ideas on how Congress can continue supporting farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. Thank you to the Texas Farm Bureau members who traveled to Washington to share their perspectives and advocate for Texas agriculture.

Supporting agriculture means supporting affordability, food security and the future of California communities. What are your top concerns? Let us know in the comments below.

Awesome. 👍

How cool is this @UNC Make your six strings something worth hearing. 👏 @ericchurch

Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard. Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life. Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You. Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken. Watch the whole thing.

@JohnCornyn Thank you Senator for your unwavering support.

Water shortages created by Mexico's failure to follow the 1944 Water Treaty have wreaked havoc on the ability of farmers and ranchers in South Texas to plan and to tend their crops & livestock, hurting both them and our state’s economy.   I’m introducing legislation called the WATER for Farmers Act, which will impose penalties in the form of tariffs on Mexico if they continue in their delinquency of water deliveries.   Watch my full remarks HERE: youtube.com/watch?v=Lq1oky…
