Federal Fightback
Stay up-to-date on the latest policies and actions happening beyond the State Capitol.

That means decisions made in Washington directly shape whether Texans can access healthcare, recover from disasters, afford groceries, and get the education and infrastructure our communities need.

In 2026,
federal programs, aid, and long-term funding have become far less certain, even though millions of Texans rely on them every day. From Medicaid and SNAP to tariffs, the state workforce, and disaster recovery, what happens in the federal budget doesn’t stay in D.C. It shows up in Texas households, classrooms, clinics, and local economies.
Federal funding isn’t extra money; it’s foundational to how the state pays for basic services.
Every Texan works to ensure that Texas families and communities aren’t left behind when federal policy shifts, and that state leaders understand what’s at stake.
