The anti-science agenda of Grand Old Party leadership is a threat to our state. Their pandering to disinformation and unproven theories for political gain, combined with fueling anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers in the name of personal freedom, undermines the fight to contain COVID-19.
Earlier this week, a colleague of mine outside of Houston had to rush his child to the Shriners Hospital for Children burn unit.
Saturday is National Clean-Up Day, an annual event aimed at raising awareness about litter and encouraging communities to do what they can to clean up their common spaces.

There's still time for you and your family to participate in our letter-writing campaign for our soldiers.
It occurs to me that in light of our embarrassing withdrawal from Afghanistan and unceremonious abandonment of equipment, weapons, supplies, friends and American citizens, we should find new and different ways to honor those who served.
Alert Americans know President Joe Biden didn't end the Afghanistan War. It ended in 2019 when Trump and Afghanistan forces agreed to stop fighting.
As a strong Republican, I look forward to monthly columns authored by David Michael Smith. Smith's writings are the single best motivating factor for voters to select Republican candidates.
When government looks at project cost, it focuses on out-of-pocket expense rather than the total cost.
