WOW -- Vance *defends* Ramaswamy's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away from that. Do you think that ad was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest with you. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern. My concern is who is gonna govern. I have to admit I'm a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans who are whining more about that ad than they are about what the Democrats want to do.

Just 2% of pro-Paxton GOP spending blitz is for Spanish ads

Texas schools reported losing more than 14,200 immigrant students last year. The true number is likely even higher, experts say. Latest for @texastribune: texastribune.org/2026/09/30/…

Texas lost at least 14,200 immigrant students last year

The actual enrollment loss amid increased deportation efforts is much higher as the federal definition that identifies immigrant students is limited, experts said.
