Paxton sues another organization for allegedly mailing abortion pills into Texas
The Texas AG's office is suing Aid Access, which advertises that it mails abortion medication to all 50 states.

Feb. 24, 2026

The Texas attorney general has sued another organization over mail-order abortion pills, his office announced Tuesday. The suit is the second to be announced in the past month targeting an organization for allegedly mailing abortion medication into Texas.

Attorney General Ken Paxton's office announced that it has filed a lawsuit against Aid Access, an organization that advertises that it mails medication abortion to all 50 states. The lawsuit also named the founder of the organization, Rebecca Gomperts, and a physician affiliated with the organization, Dr. Remy Coeytaux.

And Ralph Hall was 91 years old in 2014

The last time a Republican incumbent congressman from Texas was defeated in a primary was 2014 (Ralph Hall).

Right now, it is looking like there could be two defeated next week (Tony Gonzales and Dan Crenshaw), as well as the senior senator (John Cornyn).

Mind blown about the early vote in Texas. TX Dems may outvote the GOP for the 1st time in a midterm primary since 2002!

FAA Closes Airspace in Fort Hancock, Texas, After US Military Allegedly Shot Down CBP Drone
The FAA cited 'special security reasons' in its notice about the restrictions on the airspace near the Mexican border.

Federal aviation officials have shut down a slice of airspace over Fort Hancock, Texas, after lawmakers said the Pentagon appears to have mistakenly blasted a U.S. government drone out of the sky with a highenergy, laser-based anti-drone weapon near the Mexican border.

The Federal Aviation Administration barred all flights in the affected area Thursday, citing "special security reasons" in a notice that extends the restrictions through June 24. The order carves out exceptions for air ambulance and search-and-rescue missions that receive authorization from Joint Task ForceSouthern Border.

Three senior House Democrats who oversee aviation and homeland security matters said they were told the incident involved a Customs and Border Protection drone. Reps. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.), Bennie Thompson(D-Miss.), and Andre Carson (D-Ind.) said in a joint statement that the Pentagon "reportedly shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone" and denounced what they described as a breakdown in coordination.

"We said MONTHS ago that the White House's decision to sidestep a bipartisan, tri-committee bill to appropriately train C-UAS operators and address the lack of coordination between the Pentagon, DHS and the FAA was a short-sighted idea," the lawmakers wrote.

The shutdown near Fort Hancocka community about 50 miles southeast of El Pasocomes on the heels of an airspace closure at El Paso International Airport earlier this month.

In that case, the FAA announced overnight that it would halt traffic at El Paso's airport for 10 days for "special security reasons," before backing off and reopening the airspace after roughly eight hours.

Larsen, Thompson, and Carson said in a joint statement Feb. 18 regarding that incident that they have requested a classified briefing on the El Paso shutdown, which they said stemmed from "the deployment of a counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) last week."

"…[T]here are conflicting reports on the cause for this abrupt airspace closure, ranging from an alleged 'cartel drone incursion' to a shoot-down of a party balloon," the three ranking members wrote in their letter to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

They continued saying that "even more concerning" was that the DHS and DOD deployed this "complex" C-UAS technology without coordinating with the FAA, as required by law, "[which] introduces unnecessary and dangerous risk into U.S. airspace."

Duffy said the El Paso closure stemmed from a Mexican drug cartel's drone intruding into U.S. airspace, even though such sightings typically trigger only brief pauses in traffic, not hourslong airport shutdowns. Pentagon officials say more than 1,000 drone incursions occur along the southern border every month.

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford told senators in a closeddoor meeting that communication could have been handled better, but he declined to offer detailed answers on why the agency initially moved toward a 10day freeze in flights, lawmakers said. The surprise closure left planes from Southwest, United, and American Airlines stuck on the ground and interrupted medical evacuation operations overnight.

Local and federal officials complained they were blindsided. El Paso Mayor Renard Johnson said airport leaders, police, and other city authorities were not contacted before the airspace was shut, calling the episode something that "should have never happened," he said at a news conference.

The acting head of the Transportation Security Administration, Ha Nguyen McNeill, also told Congress that she received no advance notice.

On Capitol Hill, lawmakers in both parties have demanded answers. Senate Commerce Committee Chair Ted Cruz and Sen. Ben Ray Lujan have pressed for a classified briefing, with Cruz saying "the details of what exactly occurred over El Paso are unclear." Airline industry consultant Bob Mann was even more blunt: "FAA has not exactly acquitted itself credibly, objectively, or professionally," he said, adding, "The question should be, do we get an explanation?"

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said at a daily news conference her government was still trying to learn what happened in the El Paso case and had no information about drone activity along the border.
NTD News has contacted the FAA for further details. A White House spokesperson declined to comment and referred questions to the Department of War, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FAA.
Reuters contributed to this report.

Texas Republicans hail strikes on Iran
Military action comes days ahead of Texas' Senate primary with high stakes for both parties.

Washington Bureau

Feb. 28, 2026

WASHINGTON Texas Republicans swiftly lined up behind President Donald Trump on Saturday after he ordered military strikes against Iran, calling the action long overdue and necessary to curb Tehran's ambitions.
Democrats countered that the president bypassed Congress and risked dragging the country into a wider conflict.

John Cornyn, who faces Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt of Houston in Tuesday's Republican primary, tied the operation to what he described as years of Iranian aggression.
He expressed hope "that the Iranian people, after years of oppression and being ignored by previous Democrat administrations, will finally be free."

Paxton reposted video of Trump's speech, writing: "Thank you President Trump for your courageous leadership. For years, Iran has terrorized the world and threatened our nation's existence, and it's critical that the evil regime is never able to obtain a nuclear weapon. Praying for our brave men and women in uniform."
Hunt cited his combat experience as an Army Apache pilot, adding: "In moments like this, bold action requires bold leadership, we have that in President Trump."

Partisan split
Democrats in the Senate race were sharply critical.

"The self-proclaimed 'President of peace' is once again starting illegal wars without congressional authorization. This is not what the American people asked for," U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Dallas posted on X.

"Time and time again, Trump has proven that he is not interested in or capable of putting 'America First.' Our soldiers will have to put their lives on the line to defend his reckless decisions. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution to rein in this dangerous overreach before more damage is done."

I think everyone is. Even the Dems are for attacks.

A couple days ago I was driving on the Plaza in downtown New Braunfels and saw a black bus with Talarico's name on it. My guess was that he was on his way to some campaign event. It doesn't matter: Jasmine is going to defeat him soundly. On the other side we will probably see a runoff bewtwedn Paxton & Cornyn.

More blasphemy from someone who apparently does not actually believe in God. There is no limit to God's power. Yes, God often uses flawed humans to achieve His goals but He certainly is not limited in His methods. He is still capable of performing miracles and has done so countless times throughout history.
