It was relatively quiet on the House floor last week but a very busy one in committees. I passed seven of the Senate bills I'm authoring this session. Three measures deal with elections: Senate Bill 375 changes some filing and election dates to help us get absentee ballots to our military members between primary and runoff elections. In prior years, the State Election Board has had very short windows to get these ballots mailed. This will help lengthen that time. Senate Bill 376 deals with...

NEW YORK (AP) — Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sued Rep. Jim Jordan on Tuesday, an extraordinary move as he seeks to halt a House Judiciary Committee inquiry that the prosecutor contends is a "transparent campaign to intimidate and attack" him over his indictment of former President Donald Trump.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's immigration head will face criminal charges in a fire that killed 40 migrants in a detention center last month, but President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Wednesday that he will not dismiss the official known for his hard line on northbound migration. Obrador's decision to keep Francisco Garduño as head of the Mexican Immigration Institute appeared to conflict with the federal Attorney General's Office announcement late Tuesday to charge Garduño in connection with the blaze. That shows both some separation of po...
