Candidates for Congress recently filed their second-quarter fundraising reports. In some districts, Democratic candidates raised more than double what the Republican incumbents reported.

The East Texas Republican earned howls from Democrats when he accused a controversial FBI agent of lying under oath and brought up a well-documented extramarital affair in an open hearing.

Early fundraising sums show several Texas Democrats are postured to launch formidable campaigns in the fall.

The bill passed 86-11 and had the support of both Texas' U.S. senators, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz.

The state's two U.S. senators are likely to play pivotal roles in what is expected to be a politically explosive confirmation process.

As expected, Republicans were unable to reconcile differences within their party to move a major immigration bill through the U.S. House chamber Wednesday.

In less than a week, Democrat MJ Hegar's widely praised campaign video has many political insiders wondering if her long-shot campaign against U.S. Rep. John Carter has a chance at success.

U.S. Rep. Mike Conaway, who chairs the House Agriculture Committee, has been laying the groundwork for passing the massive piece of legislation known as the farm bill for over a year.

As expected, the U.S. House rejected a hard-line immigration measure Thursday afternoon – setting the stage for a vote on a more moderate immigration bill as early as Friday.

Republicans in Congress appear closer to reaching a compromise on immigration — and ending family separations at the Texas-Mexico border — after a closed-door meeting with President Donald Trump Tuesday evening.

Cruz's Protect Kids and Parents Act would require the federal government to keep immigrant families together "absent aggravated criminal conduct or threat of harm to the children."

The late U.S. Rep. Lera Thomas can't be found in the Texas State History Museum. And she's missing from most Texas history textbooks. Her tenure was short — but not without action.

The two Texas border Democrats initially withheld their support from a bipartisan effort to force a vote on major immigration legislation. Another Texan, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, remains the lone holdout among House Democrats.

The new poll comes about a month after the same firm called the race "too close to call."

Former President George H.W. Bush was hospitalized in Maine on Sunday for low blood pressure and fatigue, according to a tweet from his spokesman.
