These editorial writers can't read or think. The state didn't force Austin or other cities into a contract. The cities signed a contract to get money from the state. After they got the money, the cities refused to comply with the contract terms. Those terms include a requirement that the cities repay the state all the money they got if they don't comply with the contract. Enforcement of the contract doesn't defund police. I signed a law preventing defunding the police. Under that law the cities still have to fully fund their police--they just have to find other funds in their budgets to pay for it. If the cities didn't like the contract terms, they should have never entered into it. By the way, the contract is just one page, with clear requirements and consequences for failing to comply. As to local control, entering into the contract was a local decision. Breaching the contract is a local decision. statesman.com/opinion/editor… via @statesman

Houston received more than $100 million from the state based on a written agreement that they will comply with immigration enforcement. If they refuse to comply, they better get out their check book. It will be costly if they refuse to keep their streets safe.

New: Houston City Council will meet Friday to consider repealing its newly passed @ICEgov cooperation limit policy after @GregAbbott_TX's office threatened to pull $110M in public safety grants. houstonchronicle.com/politics/houst… via @HoustonChron @DegroodMatt

Remember. I made Texas one of only two states to halt state agencies and universities from using H1B visas. We are thoroughly investigating abuses and potential fraud in the program. Remember also that it’s the feds not the states that authorize them. We need the feds to stop authorizing them.

Prayers have been answered for the safe recovery of the missing Weapons Systems Officer. This is such a great American story. No soldier left behind. Elite training and execution saved and rescued the downed F15E fighter jet officer. God bless America
Jennifer Griffin@JenGriffinFNC

Fox News can confirm that the 2nd crew member of the downed F15E fighter jet has been rescued and he and the members of the rescue team that extracted him from behind enemy lines in Iran are all safely out of Iran. That according to two senior US officials and multiple well placed sources in the region. The Weapons Systems Officer ejected along with the pilot when their F15E Strike Eagle they were flying was struck Thursday night (early Friday local time) in southwest Iran.  The WSO used the SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) training to evade capture, hiding on an elevated ridge after hiking away from the wreckage and putting out an emergency beacon.) US Special Operations rescue forces to include PJs (United States Air Force Pararescuemen (PJs) and many layers of elite rescue forces took part in the complex, layered mission to both find the crew member and also keep the Iranian forces who were hunting the American weapons system operator at bay. There are videos that have appeared from local eyewitnesses that show what appear to have been  injured and dead Iranian members of the IRGC and Basij who were looking for the downed American crew member. Fox has learned there was fighting on the ground but no Americans killed during the operation. “It was a very complex operation to retrieve the downed service member,” a well placed source briefed on the operation told me. Many different branches of the US military were involved in the rescue. Fox News can confirm the A10 Warthog that crashed Friday was involved in providing cover for the rescue teams searching for the pilot. That A10 crashed in Kuwait (first reported by ABC Friday) but the A10 pilot managed to eject safely and was rescued. There was destruction of aircraft which have sensitive equipment on board, I am told, all part of this complex CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) mission. The F15E was pretty much destroyed on impact. Two rescue helicopters were hit by enemy fire on  Friday and crew members onboard were injured by enemy fire but managed to make it out of Iran. There were a lot of elements to this rescue, I am told.

On this Good Friday, we come to the cross, and remember the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made to save us all from sin. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life." John 3:16

Houston, we have liftoff.🚀 Mission Control is guiding Artemis back to the Moon—right from Texas. Texas drives innovation. Texas leads the future.
NASA@NASA

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Texas is enforcing the rule of law to stop the spread of radical Islam. The leaders of the failed EPIC City tried to a create a new city called The Meadow. @TCEQ uncovered legal violations. This court order stops them in their tracks. texasscorecard.com/local/court-te…

So called "voting rights" groups are suing Texas to stop verifying that only U.S. citizens are on our voter rolls. Let that sink in. Only U.S. citizens can vote in Texas. That's not controversial -- it's the law. We will fight this lawsuit and we will win. texastribune.org/2026/03/27/tex…

All of this will be taken into consideration when I have the final say on the fate of the police officer. This DA's failure to prosecute murderers & repeatedly letting dangerous criminals go free, while prioritIzing prosecuting police, will have consequences. foxnews.com/politics/soros… #FoxNews

Thanks Elon. Extraordinary event tonight. Your vision is powerful and we are proud of all you do in Texas.

ELON MUSK: "We're starting off with an advanced technology fab here in Austin, and I'd like to thank @GregAbbott_TX and the state of Texas for the support. So in the advanced technology fab, we will have all of the equipment necessary to make a chip of any kind logical memory, and we will also have all of the equipment necessary to make the masks. So in a single building, we can create a mask, make the chip, test the chip, make another mask, and have an incredibly fast recursive loop for improving the chip design. To the best of my knowledge, this doesn't exist anywhere in the world. We're really going to push the limit of physics in compute, and we're going to try a bunch of wild and crazy things, which you can do if you've got that fast iteration loop that I can't emphasize enough the importance of being able to make it, to test it and and then make and then change the design, do another one, and have that in a single building."
