Texas is the state with the largest CO2 emissions in the nation. In 2022, for example, the state's emissions were more than double that of California, the next largest emitter.

Texas is the real model for American Energy Dominance. Trump is letting ideology triumph over pragmatism, while Texas continues to show what an all-of-the-above approach to harnessing energy resources can do for affordability, reliability, and economic growth

Let’s realize that both parties, when in power, have approved original Medicare and MA plans that enrich insurance companies at the expense of patients. Both parties let the HC industry get so opague, no one has a clue how the much care truly costs. Including most hospitals.
