A deep national divide over public safety isn’t emerging — it’s already here, and it’s impossible to miss. In state after state, Democratic governors and big‑city sanctuary leaders have spent years tearing down law enforcement, tying the hands of federal agencies, and feeding a narrative that treats officers as political adversaries instead of public servants. And then there’s Texas. Governor Greg Abbott has built one of the strongest, most unapologetically pro‑law‑enforcement records in the country, and he hasn’t blinked once.

Nearly two hundred members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) gathered in downtown San Antonio to protest the recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shooting in Minneapolis.

A covert C‑17 medevac flight carrying U.S. service members wounded in the operation to seize Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro landed in San Antonio over the weekend, where the troops were rushed to Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) for treatment. City officials confirmed the arrival after flight‑tracking data revealed the aircraft’s route from Joint Base Charleston to Puerto Rico and then to Texas.

As U.S. forces executed one of the most decisive military operations in decades — a Trump‑ordered strike that sent 150 aircraft into Venezuela and delivered dictator Nicolás Maduro into American custody — Texas Democrats erupted in fury, blasting the mission as “stupid,” “illegal,” and driven by personal greed.

While Venezuelan expatriates across the country cheered the U.S. capture of socialist strongman Nicolas Maduro, a small group of San Antonio socialists took to the streets Saturday to denounce the operation as “illegal” and “a war crime.”

A father in Porter, Texas, used parental control features on his 15-year-old daughter’s cell phone to locate her after she went missing on Christmas Day.

A small group of socialist activists joined striking baristas at a northside Starbucks on Saturday, attempting to bolster a picket line that drew little interest from customers or nearby holiday shoppers.

Federal Judge Jerry Edwin Smith delivered a blistering dissent against fellow jurist Jeffrey Vincent Brown, condemning Brown’s 160‑page injunction blocking Texas’s 2025 redistricting map as “a Nobel Prize for Fiction” and “the most outrageous conduct” he has seen in nearly four decades on the bench. Smith’s rebuke came as the Supreme Court stepped in with an administrative stay, halting Brown’s ruling that found Texas racially gerrymandered its new congressional districts.
