Heidi and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Josh Baer and the tragic plane crash in Laredo.
Josh has been one of the most significant figures driving innovation and entrepreneurship across America. In Texas, he made our state a global leader. His impact was incalculable.
Our prayers are with his family and the others aboard the aircraft.

Texas is leading the way in reindustrializing America.
Glad to have Jensen Huang in Sherman, Texas today as Coherent and NVIDIA broke ground on a new silicon photonics lab.

College sports is facing a crisis.
The transfer portal has no real rules. Eligibility lawsuits are stretching college careers six and seven years. Schools are cutting women’s sports, Olympic sports, and non-revenue sports.
That’s why we must pass the Protect College Sports Act.
College athletes should be compensated fairly for their name, image, and likeness.
But college sports also needs basic rules. We can protect NIL, stop the chaos, and make sure student-athletes are actually getting an education.
It’s time to advance the Protect College Sports Act.

Great visiting with fellow Texan Noah Syndergaard this week. As an Astros fan, Noah gave us more than a few headaches!
Heidi and I are heartbroken by the horrific shooting in Midland, and we are praying for the victims, their families and the city of Midland.
We are grateful to the law enforcement officers and first responders who moved swiftly to protect the community.
Please continue to heed the guidance of local authorities as they secure the scene.

Enjoyed catching up with Dana White today.
Dana has built one of the most successful sports brands in the world, and it was great spending time with him, Nick Khan, and Lonnie Ali on Capitol Hill.

India is the world’s largest democracy, and the U.S.-India alliance is a critical to the national security of both our countries.
I congratulate Prime Minister Modi on becoming India’s longest-serving Prime Minister. This milestone is a testament to his political acumen and leadership.
President Trump & Congressional Republicans promised to secure the border.
The Secure America Act fully funds ICE and Border Patrol through his term and gives them the tools to combat trafficking, stop deadly drugs, dismantle cartels, and enforce our laws.
Promises made, promises kept.
Meanwhile every single Democrat voted against the funding.
