BREAKING: You won’t believe this!…

James Talarico will now officially help decide how to “punish the Democrats” who broke quorum last year!!

😂 😂 😂

Can’t make this up!.. I explain below…
The “Republican” Texas government is taxing Texans out of their homes to… SUBSIDIZE DATA CENTERS!
From The New American: On July 1, Texas Representative Brian Harrison (R-Midlothian) issued a statement declaring that “Texans deserve action, not just rhetoric, from their state leaders.”

He continued:

Texas must start acting like the sovereign state it is and stop taking it on the chin when actions from DC threaten to destroy the very fabric of our republic. Texas must not simply act like a powerless bystander but take bold and decisive action to protect liberty for future generations. I am publicly demanding an immediate special session to combat the harms from mass birth tourism, pressure the federal government to fix birth tourism, and to protect the value of citizenship that countless paid the ultimate price for.

Harrison ended his statement by stating, “I hope every elected Republican in Texas joins my call for immediate action. Delay is unacceptable for a state like Texas!”

Additionally, Representative @chiproytx (R-Texas) responded to Harrison’s call for a special session by noting that “Texas should do this — and more.”

States Must Reassert Sovereignty

Harrison’s call for a special session raises an important principle: Constitutionally, the states retain their sovereign authority to restrict immigration within their borders — and they must act to protect American sovereignty and deter mass migration. In fact, Texas acted itself to secure its border with Mexico, including by building border barriers, spending record sums on border security, and criminalizing illegal migration. Having a Republican occupy the U.S. presidency does not absolve the states from this duty.

Texas state officials must heed Harrison’s call and act boldly to stop mass migration and nullify all unconstitutional federal acts
From #townhallcom: Gov. Abbott took action only after several prominent Texas Republicans rebuked the Supreme Court decision and called for Texas to assert its sovereignty by refusing to issue birth certificates to children of foreigners. State Representative Brian Harrison (R-Midlothian), who previously worked in the Trump Administration, demanded that Gov. Abbott call a special session of the legislature to push back against this Court decision.

“I hope every elected Republican in Texas joins my call for immediate action. Delay is unacceptable for a state like Texas!” Rep. Harrison posted on X.
Texas should be in a special session right now to start ELIMINATING PROPERTY TAXES….

And to MAKE BIRTH TOURISM A FELONY.

Why isn’t Texas leading??
Texas voters... did you give Republicans total control of the Texas government so they could enact the highest effective property tax rate in the nation... and spend BILLIONS of your hard earned dollars on corporate welfare (including for data centers and liberal Hollywood)!?
Here it is! The Texas government has been giving PROPERTY TAX BREAKS TO DATA CENTERS since 2013!

Indefensible!

While your property taxes have skyrocketed... rich corporations, data centers, and liberal Hollywood have been getting your money... and NOT having to pay the same taxes that you do.

We need to have a special session to END ALL CORPORATE WELFARE... and start ELIMINATING PROPERTY TAXES....

Right now!!
Reminder that our "Republican" Speaker was elected by JAMES TALARICO and the Democrats.

And he's governed like it... record high spending, record high debt, record high property taxes, record high corporate welfare, etc..

Democrats control the Texas House.

Total betrayal.
Liberals support Hollywood subsidies.

Conservatives (should) oppose them.

🚨PROPERTY TAX HIKE ALERT!!! Your local governments are about to vote on whether or not to raise your property taxes!!

Property tax discussions are often made overly complicated by big government liberals who want to raise your taxes, but who don’t want you to know it!

Let me cut through the spin and be crystal clear: ANY LOCAL OFFICIAL WHO VOTES FOR A TAX RATE HIGHER THAN THE NO-NEW-REVENUE (NNR) RATE IS VOTING TO RAISE YOUR PROPERTY TAXES!!

Be warned, you’ll likely hear officials brag that they plan to “lower your tax RATE.” This is a gimmick... even if your tax RATE is lower than last year's tax RATE, due to rising property appraisals, your property tax BILL will still be higher than last year’s bill if the rate is set higher than the NNR rate.
You can think of the NO-NEW-REVENUE rate (NNR) as last year's “effective” rate adjusted for inflation of assessed values. And the “no new revenue” rate is a very misleading name because it actually brings in a ton of new revenue to local government, especially in growing areas.

Never forget: a lower property tax RATE is still a property TAX INCREASE… if the rate is set higher than NNR, even if the rate is lower than last year's.

Join me in demanding local governments CUT PROPERTY TAXES by setting rates that are BELOW the No-New-Revenue rate.

Tell them that you know that any vote for a rate higher than the NNR is a vote to raise property taxes!

Never ending property taxes are immoral, unethical, and I will keep fighting to abolish them! But, in the meantime, the least we can demand of local officials is that they NOT raise property taxes.

See my letter to local elected officials below.
Incredibly honored to receive the 2026 Ross Kecseg Memorial "Fearless Conservative" Award from #GAWTP last night. I am grateful for the patriots all across Texas, and America, who I’ve been privileged to lock arms with in the fight to preserve LIBERTY!

While, unfortunately, I’m often fighting alone in Austin against government growth and liberal policies… I know I’m standing in solidarity with the overwhelming majority of freedom loving, hardworking, patriotic men and women of Texas… and I’m grateful beyond words for their encouragement, prayers, and support.

Thank you, JoAnn Fleming, for your fearless leadership guiding the largest grassroots conservative organization in Texas.
And it was a real honor sharing a stage and getting to visit with Vice President J.D. Vance’s mother, “Ms. Bev,” who was an amazing and inspirational keynote speaker!

President Reagan once said that America was the “last best hope” for mankind on Earth, and I believe that Texas may be the last best hope for liberty in America.

With leftists fighting to destroy the greatest nation in history, now is not the time for comfortable timidity in the Texas Capitol. More than ever, we need courageous leadership that remembers that the number one role for government is to protect our GOD-GIVEN FREEDOMS.

Texas should have the boldest, most pro-LIBERTY government in America!

I’ll keep fighting to make government as irrelevant to our lives as possible, so we can be as free as God meant for us to be!!

God Bless Texas!!!
Tarrant County CUTS PROPERTY TAXES; again!

"Anyone who tells you that cutting taxes means gutting services has not looked at what we just did. We proved the opposite. You cut waste, you set priorities..."
- County Judge #TimothyOHare

This is the way!

Insanity! The City of Midlothian PROPOSING TO MASSIVELY RAISE PROPERTY TAXES!!...

Worse: they appear to be skirting Texas law requiring voter approval for huge tax hikes like this… setting their proposed rate only 0.000162 below a rate that would require an election.

Betrayal!!

I’m proud to represent Midlothian taxpayers in the Texas House… and, having been re-elected OVERWHELMINGLY by Midlothian voters in March, I can assure you my neighbors here deserve property tax cuts… not property tax hikes so large it’s almost illegal without a voter approval election!!

I’ll keep fighting to ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES… but in the meantime, it’s indefensible that local officials choose to keep raising them!

The #MidlothianTX City Council must REJECT this tax hike!!
