U.S. House Republicans Warn President Biden

Twenty-four House Republicans have cautioned President Biden against federalizing the Texas National Guard amid a border standoff. They contend this move would violate the constitution and have urged the president to work with Texas to ensure border security.

Under the leadership of Rep. Randy Weber, the group underscored the importance of governors maintaining command of their state forces:

“By deploying the National Guard, Governor Abbott has taken the necessary steps to defend this country and her people from foreign invaders.”

The push by Democratic lawmakers for Biden to seize control of the Texas National Guard came after troops took control of a park in Eagle Pass—a major border-crossing point used by illegal immigrants.

USS Texas Gets Facelift

The USS Texas is undergoing a $60 million restoration project. The Battleship Texas Foundation, which maintains the vessel, has released new photos showcasing the progress of the restoration work.

It’s been a floating museum since 1948, and it needs urgent repairs due to leaks and deterioration. The restoration involves the removal of old paint, rust, and other updates, giving the battleship a rejuvenated appearance.

The iconic battleship was commissioned in 1914 and served in both World Wars. It will anchor in Galveston to continue its service to the public.
