Correct. The Texas republican politicians are mostly indistinguishable from democrats.

Agree. I may be leaving Congress on 1/3 - but we should all come back this week and stay through 1/3 to fight for Americans.

Patriots, On November 3rd, 2026, the leftists took Texas in a wave election that swept the country, the consequences of which will last generations. First, it is important to recognize my perfect wife, Mary Catherine, my partner in 39 years of blissful marriage, our five children, and our 12 grandchildren. I thank the leanest, hardest-working campaign team in Texas politics. I am so incredibly humbled by the millions of Texans who supported this campaign and believed in me. My work is for them. We won a crushing landslide in the primary and worked nonstop every single day since. I personally spent millions of dollars on this campaign, a huge percentage of a net worth that took over 40 years of hard work and sacrifice to accumulate. Don't shed a tear for Don Huffines. I had a great life before this campaign, and I will have a great life after it. I am not sad for myself, and I am not losing any sleep over an election. I am sad for the Texans who do not want to be slaves to their government. They just want to live their lives in freedom, knowing their leaders are strong and courageous. I am extremely humbled and honored to have served as Texas Comptroller, because of your support and the appointment by Governor Abbott. On August 1, 2026, I was sworn in, rejected all pay and benefits, and went straight to work bringing a private-sector mindset and incredible sense of urgency to Texas government. A full list of the Huffines Administration's accomplishments will be shared at the end of my term, as there is still much to come. For two years, at more than 500 events in every corner of this state, I warned that when Texas goes, so goes the nation. I campaigned on a simple message: 'AUDIT government. EXPOSE corruption. It's YOUR money.' I could not wait to clean out the garage, because I knew that if Republicans did not clean it out ourselves, the Democrats would use it to flip Texas blue. It turns out we were already out of time. Texas is the foundation of the national Republican Party, and now the foundation is broken. What the Huffines Administration accomplished in the first 100 days is unprecedented, and it barely scratched the surface of what I had planned. I inherited an incomprehensible mess. Sadly, the agency had not been touched since the 1990s: rife with fraud, waste, and abuse, and leaderless. Frankly, besides the reforms we made, the Democrats will find this agency and every other state agency exactly how they left them decades ago. And that tells you why Republicans lost Texas. The leftists will continue to grow government, drive up the cost of living, and rebuild the government school monopoly, chaining Texas families to failing schools with no way out. And of course, they will continue to whittle away at our virtue by replacing God with government. I am not saying any of this out of bitterness, but because we must understand our ideas did not lose on Election Day. Our failure to deliver on them did. We did this to ourselves. For 25 years, Republicans controlled everything in this state while Texans got crushed on affordability: property taxes, insurance, housing, and electricity. In Texas, you never really own your home or your land. You rent your property from the government, and the rent goes up every year. The administrative state grew unchecked, and fraud, waste, and corruption went unpunished. The Republican Party has the solutions, but our leadership lacked the courage to act. The grassroots begged, were ignored, and got basically nothing. Our officials governed from the mushy middle: desperate to stay in power, desperate for the prestige and approval of elitists and lobbyists. They served up the same stale, overcooked rhetoric instead of a bold, unified Texas First Agenda. How do you campaign on a promise you have been making for 12 years? Florida had strong leadership and survived this tsunami. Texas had 25 years of gaslighting. Texans are desperate for something different: leaders who are courageous and creative. We need businesspeople who understand risk, solve problems instead of symptoms, and know that our liberty comes from God, not the government, and that government's fundamental role is to defend it. Our culture and heritage are unique, forged with the blood of Texas patriots who understood the value of liberty. This was our political Alamo, and I know you want me to say that San Jacinto is coming. But how, and when? We lost Texas before the new national and state Democrat regimes reopen the Texas border, grant amnesty, and permanently change the demographics of this state. Liberty is fleeting. Every generation must fight for it, and the fight for Texas now belongs to the millions of grassroots patriots who love this state and will never give up on it. Taking the Lone Star State back is imperative, because there is no path for the national Republican Party without Texas. But hear me on this: our hope was never in a party, and it was never in a politician. "Put not your trust in princes." Psalm 146:3. Jesus is the foundation of everything I do, followed by family and business, in that order. We do not know what the future holds, but the Lord knows exactly what He is doing, and we trust Him completely. Christ is King. We will never give up. We will never back down. We will never bend the knee to any man or any government, for any reason. Because this is Texas. For liberty, prosperity, and virtue, always. I love you all. God bless you, and God bless Texas. Comptroller Don Huffines

Rep. Roy: "Just as President Trump was not elected to have an Iran war and to have tariffs, neither were Democrats elected this week to open the borders and to engage in endless investigations and persecution of Members of Congress. If Democrats go down that road, which I expect them to do, then it's going to be a short-lived majority."

Rep. Roy: "We have two months left in this Congress, and lame duck. We ought to deliver. We ought to send the codification of Trump's border policies over to the Senate. We ought to do a reconciliation package. We ought to make the Senate act and demonstrate to the Democrats that they're not going to come in and have a cakewalk in two years."

“This is a huge blue wave, but not a mandate for Democrats. The election results also included a rejection of big government policies and progressive populism,” said @VanceGinn on the widespread rejection of tax hikes on Tuesday’s ballot. thetexan.news/elections/2026…

TEXAS REWARDED THE FIGHTER: KEITH SELF NEVER BACKED DOWN ON ISLAM - GOP, TAKE NOTES While the rest of the GOP went silent after the primaries - suddenly too busy courting the Islamic vote to keep talking about what’s actually happening - Hero Keith Self never bent the knee. The co-founder of the Sharia Free America Caucus kept naming the threat: Islam and Sharia as a system of domination, the building of parallel communities, the deliberate radical expansion happening right now in North Texas. He didn’t soften or pivot. He fought every step of the way and Texans rewarded him. That’s the lesson, America. Most of the candidates who lost last night stopped talking about Islam the moment the primary was over. They calculated. They compromised. They thought silence would buy them votes or money. Self didn’t. He stayed unapologetic. He kept warning that this is conquest by migration, infrastructure, and political capture, not “enrichment.” And the voters in his district chose the fighter. This is still possible. Texas is not lost. There is still a base that wants leaders who will actually defend the state instead of managing its transformation. Self just proved it. GOP - take the lesson. The easy path is to go quiet and chase votes. The right path is to keep naming the threat and fight it. Voters can still tell the difference. Keith Self never stopped. Texas noticed. Wake up, America. This is the model. Unflinching. Consistent. No apologies for defending the Constitution against a system that rejects it. If more of them had his spine, we wouldn’t be watching the same pattern that already swallowed parts of Europe. Thank you, Congressman Self. Keep going. Texas is still in the fight, because you refused to stop.

For those who are shocked by the governor upset in Texas, let me remind you: Under Abbott, Texas added around 477k new lawful permanent residents in just the last four years. Where did they come from? Largely, tech startups that are full of HB-1 labor. That labor happens to be 70-80% Democrat. That level of immigration is more than enough to erase the GOP margin in Texas. Immigration is why Texas lost every statewide race. Abbott went after big business then got himself voted out.

“I blame this on @GregAbbott_TX. I blame it on @DanPatrick . I blame it all on our leadership. Thinking they’re going to go for four terms as Governor. Four terms as Lt. Governor. Seriously?! If they campaigned on lowering your property taxes all that did is remind everybody why you didn’t do it 12 years ago.” - @DonHuffines #txlege

Tonight’s outcome isn’t about placing faith in Democrats or socialist principles; it’s about holding Republicans accountable for betraying their promises. All Republicans had to do was: 1. put Americans First 2. not start another war 3. prosecute sex traffickers

Democrat primary voters OUT-VOTED Republican primary voters in Texas early voting. Early voting is over. 7.7 MILLION Texans voted, near-presidential turnout. In 2022, Republican primary voters finished early voting 565,133 ballots AHEAD of Democrat primary voters. In 2024, we finished 944,796 ahead. This year we head into Election Day 25,836 BEHIND. This is hard voter file data from @longhornderek, the best in the business. No polling. No modeling. Just facts. Santa Anna thought the war was won at the Alamo. Then came San Jacinto. Texas is never decided by how the fight starts. It is decided by how we finish. Here is what is left: 2.7 MILLION of the most likely voters in Texas have NOT cast a ballot. 886,000 of them are Republican primary voters. The communists have 596,000. That is a 289,717 vote advantage sitting on the sidelines, but it wins NOTHING unless those Republicans show up. The other 1.2 MILLION likely voters have no primary history at all. This election belongs to whoever shows up Tuesday. Texas is the foundation of the Republican Party in America. When the foundation breaks, it ALL falls apart. When we lose Texas, we lose the USA. GO VOTE to defend our liberty on Election Day, TUESDAY, Nov. 3. RAIN OR SHINE. 🇺🇸

Please remind @SenTedCruz that we still want him to STOP THE KILL SWITCH! @TxTurf @GAWTP

In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … 🍿

This Senate race could alter the future of America for a generation. The stakes go far beyond a single Senate seat. Control of the Senate could determine whether Democrats have the power to pursue D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood, pack the Supreme Court, return to open-border policies, and pass mass amnesty. But Republicans also have to do a better job telling the full story. Remind voters where we came from: crushing inflation, a wide-open southern border, rising costs, and a federal government that grew more expensive and intrusive. Show them what we’ve done: secure the border, unleash American energy, cut unnecessary government, restore fiscal sanity, and fight to bring costs down for working families. Then make the choice clear: Republicans are the only party offering a path toward lower costs, secure borders, limited government, and an America where families (not Washington) have more control over their future. The argument can’t just be about what we’re against. We need to paint a picture of what we’re fighting for and make clear how much is at stake. @willcain
