Texas defense hawks urge Congress away from military funding cuts to raise the debt ceiling
Join The Temporary, The Texas Tribune’s each day e-newsletter that retains readers up to the mark on probably the most important Texas information.
WASHINGTON — As U.S. Home Republicans debate what to chop out of federal spending of their debt ceiling combat with Democrats, a handful of Texans have a transparent message: Don’t mess with the army.
Republicans within the majority are utilizing the debt ceiling as a negotiating instrument with the Biden administration to scale back federal spending, however they’re divided over the place to trim the fats. Some, together with Texans who’ve lengthy defended army spending, are asserting Congress shouldn’t contact protection funding, whereas others say all funding aside from entitlements must be on the desk. It’s an uncertainty that Republicans can hardly afford with solely a six-vote margin of management within the Home.
Texas Republicans have eked out central roles within the debt ceiling discussions inside their get together. U.S. Reps. Michael McCaul, Home International Affairs Committee chair, and Kay Granger, Home Appropriations chair, are each identified protection hawks who’re in opposition to chopping any army spending. In the meantime, Reps. Jodey Arrington, Home Funds Committee chair, and Chip Roy, a member of the Freedom Caucus, are prepared to scorch earth to steadiness the nation’s books. Roy finagled new affect inside his get together after the fraught energy steadiness created throughout this 12 months’s tumultuous Home Speaker election.
The stakes are excessive. The Biden administration urged Congress final month to swiftly increase the debt ceiling so as to repay curiosity on its money owed and to finance federal packages already accepted by Congress. Failure to take action may imply the nation defaulting on its debt — which it has by no means completed earlier than — and gravely damaging religion within the nation’s financial system and property.
It’s an consequence each events agree can be catastrophic for the world. The federal authorities is projected to expire of cash in the summertime, at which level Congress can be pressured to boost the debt ceiling so as to keep away from excessive measures.
“I believe it’s honest to say that is probably the most critical scenario regarding the debt ceiling since 2011,” stated U.S. Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pennsylvania, the highest Democrat on the Home Funds Committee.
Protection spending has steadily elevated beneath each Democratic and Republican presidents and Congresses. Final 12 months’s federal spending invoice included a ten% improve in protection spending, development that protection hawks within the Republican convention, like McCaul and Granger, assert is important with rising threats from China, Russia and Iran. The invoice included about $45 billion in assist for Ukraine and NATO in a bid to stave off additional aggression from Russia.
However a vocal handful of far-right Republicans within the convention are skeptical about sending more cash to defend Ukraine. They argue securing the U.S.’ southern border must be an even bigger precedence. It’s a view that McCaul calls harmful.
“If Ukraine falls, Chairman Xi in China’s going to invade Taiwan,” McCaul stated in a CNN interview. “They speak in regards to the border — not mutually unique in any respect. We will do each. We’re an amazing nation.”
Final 12 months’s spending bundle to fund the federal authorities took months of negotiations to cross, with excessive potential for a collapse earlier than the tip of Congress. The uncertainty led to fears inside the Protection Division that it will not have the ability to plan its monetary agenda simply as Russia threatened to escalate its battle in Ukraine, and protection spending supporters aren’t eager on a repeat.
Granger’s committee determines how a lot cash ought to go to particular person authorities packages, and though she opposed the spending invoice due to its excessive spending on non-defense priorities, the Fort Price Republican is a significant supporter of protection spending, together with manufacturing in her North Texas district.
Roy stated he would favor to protect and even improve protection spending within the subsequent price range course of, however he isn’t ruling out trimming the protection fats so as to steadiness the nation’s books. When requested if protection spending was nonetheless within the combine to be reduce, he stated, “You’ve received to go work out the way to get it completed.”
Roy additionally voted in opposition to a $40.1 billion assist bundle for Ukraine final Could, shortly after Russia’s February invasion of Ukraine, although his main objection to the invoice was the style during which it was rushed to the ground, barring members from learning and debating it earlier than it was put up for a vote. He additionally raised considerations with the shortage of income streams to finance the invoice, which means one other pile-on to the nationwide debt.
Roy informed The Texas Tribune his private choice can be to decrease all discretionary spending — aside from protection — to ranges from earlier than the pandemic. He wouldn’t contact obligatory spending for entitlement packages corresponding to Medicare and Social Safety advantages. Doing so can be politically fraught with Republican voters, lots of whom depend on the social spending advantages.
However that leaves few choices for chopping, and Democrats have made it clear the sorts of cuts Republicans are pushing for on non-defense packages are a nonstarter.
“Should you say we’re gonna reduce authorities however we’re not going to the touch Social Safety, Medicare or protection? OK, nicely, you’re speaking about, , pennies on the greenback,” Boyle stated. “Nondiscretionary protection contains quite a lot of necessary issues: training, Pell Grants, well being look after veterans. Quite a few issues that, frankly, lots of their members are for.”
“This can be a little like saying, I’m going to go on a food plan however I’m not going to chop out cheesecake, cookies and all kinds of sweets,” he added.
Republicans might want to get Democrats on board within the Senate, which is beneath Democratic management.
Republicans have lengthy been fearful that the ballooning nationwide debt — a lot of which is taken out to repay previous loans — is creating an unsustainable burden for future generations. They view the approaching debt restrict as the right probability to pressure Democrats to get on board with provisions to rein within the deficit. Each events have voted to boost the debt ceiling, and the nationwide debt has elevated steadily beneath each events.
Far-right members of the Home Republican convention, led by Roy, negotiated with Speaker Kevin McCarthy throughout his bid for the speakership to return general discretionary spending to fiscal 12 months 2022 ranges, which have been the spending ranges applied earlier than final December’s $1.7 trillion authorities spending bundle. That may imply a reduce to roughly $1.47 trillion in fiscal 12 months 2024, which begins this October.
Previews of the present debate emerged then, when Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-San Antonio, voted in opposition to the bundle that set the foundations for the present Congress and included the settlement to decrease authorities spending.
“Placing hundreds of thousands of {dollars} on the fence is a nasty concept. And yeah, particularly now after we received a rising menace and China and threats to Taiwan,” Gonzales, a Navy veteran, stated on the time.
Roy’s workplace sternly denied that protection cuts have been ever a part of any negotiations with get together management on the time.
In the meantime, Democrats in Congress and the White Home say defaulting on the federal debt is simply too harmful of a chance to make use of as a bargaining chip and are demanding to boost the debt ceiling with none circumstances. Boyle asserted that Congress must deliberate over how a lot cash to spend in its annual price range and appropriations course of anyway, and there was no have to tie spending to the debt ceiling.
However Arrington dismissed Democrats’ calls for of a “clear” debt ceiling raise as unrealistic. Democrats will want Republicans’ help as a lot as Republicans want theirs to raise the debt ceiling, and he’s refusing to cross on the possibility to make spending cuts aligned with the settlement reached between Republican management and Roy’s dissenting camp in January.
“I don’t assume the president will escape having to cope with negotiating some fiscal reforms in probably the most accountable manner in order that we will bend that debt curve, in order that we will get on a sustainable path, stave off a debt disaster and act like adults,” Arrington stated in an interview with Fox Information.

Trump demonizes immigrants. So why is he winning so many Latino votes?
Back in 2015, when Donald Trump first descended from his golden escalator in New York City, Alexis García was attending high school in the Texas border town of Rio Grande City. In those days, it seemed, everyone in his classes hated Trump. The town of 15,000 serves as the seat of rural Starr County, which is 97% Latino and has voted for the Democratic candidate in every presidential election for the past 100 years. García was too young to vote in 2016, but he supported Bernie Sanders. That year, Hillary Clinton destroyed Trump in Starr, winning 79% of the vote.
But after Trump took office, García began to find himself drawn to Trump’s bombast. He liked the nicknames Trump came up with for his opponents — they reminded him of his own nickname, Pelón, meaning baldy for his buzzed hair. “Trump is like a schoolyard bully,” García tells me, meaning it as a compliment. By the end of 2017, as a high-school senior, he’d become a full-fledged Trump supporter.
At first, seeing how his classmates went after other Trump fans, García chose to keep his political conversion to himself. “Tienes nopal en la frente,” his friends would tell Trump supporters — you’ve got a cactus on your face. The meaning of the insult was clear: You’re only Mexican on the outside. When García finally told people he liked Trump, he was denounced as a racist. “How can you do this to your own kind?” people would ask.
“Coming out as a Republican was probably worse than coming out as an LGBT person,” says García, who works at a local supermarket. “They would shame you for it.”
At the time, García felt like he was part of a minority in South Texas. MAGA was a sort of counterculture among Latinos, a tiny band of provocateurs who enjoyed pissing off the dominant Democrats. But beneath the surface, a seismic shift was underway. When the results were counted on election night in November 2020, García was as shocked as everyone else to discover that Republican turnout in Starr County had nearly quadrupled from 2016. Joe Biden still won, but barely — 52% to Trump’s 47%. Trump had gained more ground in Starr than in any other county in America.
Since then, political analysts have been questioning whether Democrats are losing their long-standing advantage among Latino voters. How had a candidate who once called Mexicans “rapists” done so well in a Mexican American county? In July, before Biden exited the race, polls found his support among Latinos had fallen below 50%. And even since Kamala Harris won the nomination, polling has indicated she’s likely to win no more than 58% of Latino voters — a far cry from what Democrats used to muster. That’s especially significant this year because Trump doesn’t need to win a majority of Latino support to retake the White House. If he can peel off enough of the 36 million Latino voters, especially in hotly contested swing states such as Arizona and Nevada, it could prove to be the margin of victory.
In late July, after Biden dropped out of the race, I traveled to Starr County to see why this longtime Democratic stronghold has been shifting steadily to the right. To be sure, Starr differs from other border towns in some significant ways, especially in its relative dearth of recent migrants. But the county underscores how being Latino is becoming less predictive of how someone will vote. The area is working class, and its politics are similar to much of rural America. There’s a reverence for law enforcement and the military, a sense of economic instability, and a nagging suspicion that liberal elites in Hollywood and on Wall Street think of locals as ignorant hicks. In Trump, they see a man who offers something different. “People tell me they’re going to vote for him,” García says. “Trump is going to win.”
On a humid July morning, Benito Treviño, 77, is walking along the dirt road of his ranch, nestled among the thickets of Tamaulipan thornscrub that grow north of Rio Grande City. Reaching up, he grabs a bean pod from one of the large mesquite trees. “We can grind these into flour with a hammer mill we built,” says Treviño, a biochemist and botanist by training who now runs a native-plant nursery. Like the mesquite and huisache that thrive in this arid climate, he has deep roots in Starr County.
Treviño traces his family’s ancestry back to the earliest Spanish colonists, who made their homes on thin ranches along the Rio Grande. When the US annexed half of Mexico in 1848, those Mexican ranchers suddenly became American. Instead of them moving to America, America moved to them. Today, many South Texans like Treviño see themselves as more Tejano than Mexican American.
This explains, in part, why Biden’s campaign struggled to get traction among many Starr residents. His 2020 playbook for Latinos was built around celebrating immigrants and affording them a sense of belonging — one of his slogans was “Todos con Biden.“ But many here don’t identify as immigrants. Treviño was born in 1947 and grew up helping his parents work the lands his family had been on for generations. He’s American.
Like almost everyone in his generation, Treviño was raised as a Democrat, he says, for one simple reason: There were no Republicans in Starr County. “I never heard the word ‘Republican’ growing up,” he says. “There was no Republican Party here.” For more than a century, Democrats enjoyed complete control of local government, often running unopposed in general elections. That dominance, at its worst, led to graft and corruption as powerful families passed down elected offices like heirlooms. When Treviño’s father spoke out against the local leadership in Starr, the Democratic bosses found a way to show their displeasure: Treviño claims that when officials decided to improve a dirt road that ran through the county, they left the stretch in front of the Treviño home unpaved.
The machine politics compelled Treviño to turn away from the Democrats. He was also prodded by his wife, Toni, a chemist turned lawyer who moved to Starr from Houston. As an outsider and self-identified libertarian, she was shocked by the county’s rampant cronyism. “Why are you a Democrat?” she asked her husband. “You’re a hard worker. You’re very conservative in your values.” The Treviños became Republicans, and today Toni serves as the chair of the Starr County GOP.
While the worst instances of machine politics were eradicated by the 1980s, many old-timers like Treviño remain deeply suspicious of the Democratic Party. In South Texas counties where Democrats have controlled local politics for generations, Republicans can offer themselves as the party of something new. And polls indicate the same shift taking place across the country: Latinos are much more likely to see Trump, rather than Harris, as the candidate offering a chance at major change.
If any place embodies the dual identity among Latinos in Starr County, it’s the Rancho Cafe in the tiny town of Roma. On the outside, the restaurant has the wooden facade of an Old Western saloon, complete with a covered wagon in the dirt parking lot. Inside, however, it’s classic Tex-Mex. Traditional Mexican dresses hang for sale along the walls of the café, and the servers greet you in Spanish.
At lunchtime, Aliriam Perez sits sipping a bowl of caldo. Both her parents are from Miguel de Alemán, a Mexican city across the border that would blend in seamlessly with Roma if it weren’t for the heavily patrolled river separating them. Perez grew up mostly on the US side, though she crossed over frequently to spend time with family. Her mother was adamant that Perez never lose touch with her culture — she didn’t want her daughter to become “pocha,” Americanized. Though Perez at times rebelled against her mother’s wishes, at 34 she’s come to appreciate the importance of her Mexican heritage. Now that she has two boys of her own, she’s raising them bilingual. “It’s part of their history,” she says. “It’s where they come from.”
Growing up, Perez wasn’t very political. But that changed when she married a local police officer. In 2020, during the Black Lives Matter protests that followed the murder of George Floyd, Perez was deeply offended by the way Democrats supported calls to “abolish the police.” It felt like an affront to her husband, who was “out there putting himself in danger,” she says. Breaking with her mother, who believes that it’s crucial for Mexican Americans to vote against Trump, Perez began volunteering with the local Republican Party. As she sees it, a vote for “law and order” Trump is a way to both honor and protect her husband and other first responders.
In one recent poll, only 9% of Latino voters cited immigration as their top priority.
Democrats maintain a significant advantage among Latinos like Perez’s mother, first-generation immigrants who speak Spanish as their first language. But that advantage weakens among the second and third generations — not because American-born Latinos like Perez are more distant from their heritage but because they’ve started to prioritize other issues in the voting booth. The top two concerns among Latinos this year are the same as those for their fellow Americans: the economy and healthcare. In one recent poll, only 9% of Latino voters cited immigration as their top priority.
Starr’s economy is propped up not only by law enforcement, including the Border Patrol, but also by the oil and gas industry. During García’s childhood, he recalls, his immigrant father would make the long drive out to the Permian Basin in West Texas, where he worked as pipe fitter. Oil production has grown under Biden, and Harris says she has no plans to ban fracking. But to García, it’s obvious that Republicans are far more keen to expand drilling. Voting for Trump, as he sees it, is his best bet to keep his dad employed.
To be sure, “oil worker” is not a big part of Latino identity in swing states like Arizona and Nevada. Democrats, in fact, have long played to Latino voters by emphasizing the discrimination they face in the energy industry and law enforcement. But that appeal is beginning to lose its appeal. Perez says she knows racism exists in America — a white worker in an Alabama Dairy Queen once refused to serve her because she’s Mexican. But she doesn’t see discrimination as the province of any one political party. “There are Democrats who are racist and there are Republicans who are racist,” she says. Latinos still tell pollsters they consider the Democratic Party more welcoming to them than Republicans. But there are signs the political cohesion of “Latinidad” is beginning to fracture. Across the country, Latino Republicans say they feel more able to wear their politics on their sleeve. When people give them a hard time about voting for Trump, they’ve adopted a proud and defiant comeback. “¿Y qué?” they reply — “So what?”
In his home on his ranch along the northern edge of Starr County, Rick Guerra keeps one room as a sort of museum of his time in the Army: his vest from his days as a tank gunner during the invasion of Iraq, his boots from his deployment in Afghanistan. On one wall, there’s a collection of medals and challenge coins. As a teenager, Guerra helped his father and brothers build this very house. After he retired from the Army, he moved in with his wife and two children.
Leaning conservative since he was a kid, Guerra became a dedicated Republican during his time in the Army — and he’d like to see America return to the days of George W. Bush, when the military was flush with cash. Like many Latino-majority counties in Texas, Starr sends a higher percentage of its young men and women to the military than the rest of the country. Most families have at least one veteran in their family tree, and that has contributed to the fiercely pro-military tenor of the local political culture.
There’s another dynamic at play on Guerra’s ranch: This is rural America, where Democrats have been hemorrhaging support for over two decades. Today, the political gulf between urban and rural areas is a greater divide than the split between North and South. While three-quarters of rural Americans are white, huge swaths of rural counties in Texas and other states are majority Latino. As a result, millions of Latinos are beginning to experience what demographers call “rural resentment” — like other MAGA supporters, they feel disrespected by politicians and the media on the urban coasts. And efforts by Democrats to counter such perceptions, like passing the Inflation Reduction Act to create energy jobs in rural areas, have had little effect on attitudes among Latinos and other rural voters.
“If you’re blue collar, you’re blue collar — it doesn’t matter where you’re from,” Guerra says. “And if you’re blue collar, you want a president who is going to get his hands dirty and do stuff for the country and its people.”
Trump’s working-class support in Starr has been most visible in the string of “Trump Trains” that have been taking place across South Texas. In June, at the first rally of the summer, I speak with a professional portrait photographer named Roel Reyes as he’s adjusting the flags on his motorcycle on the southern edge of Route 83. He’s flying the Texas Lone Star flag next to the Stars and Stripes; on the front of his bike are two signs that proclaim “TRUMP 2024.” Reyes smiles as pickup trucks and other bikes pull over behind him, all of them flying Trump banners. Before long, the parade of vehicles snakes 15 miles southeast from Roma to Rio Grande City.
In 2020, during the early days of the pandemic, Reyes helped organize the county’s first Trump Train. At the time, the riotous parades felt like a protest as much as a rally, a way to openly flout the COVID shutdowns being enforced by local Democrats. Reyes recalls getting plenty of “single-finger salutes” from townspeople. But the trains also gave him the sense that Trump was more popular in Starr than the polls might indicate. During the rallies, he’d get waves from local folks he knew would never admit to supporting Trump in mixed company.
“Trump puts the country first. He puts God first — he’s for border control,” Reyes says. Next to him, an off-duty Border Patrol agent who has joined the Trump Train nods in agreement.
Local Democrats and Republicans agree that the trains gave Trump an electoral advantage in 2020. During the pandemic, Democrats — following strict instructions from the Biden campaign to avoid spreading the virus — stopped knocking on doors and focused instead on their digital strategy. Republicans, meanwhile, kept staging the Trump Trains, knocking on doors, and throwing well-attended barbeques and “asadas.” Democrats have become accustomed to hemorrhaging support from working-class white voters. But now it’s clear that more and more Latinos — who are overrepresented in the working class, especially in South Texas — are flocking to the Republicans. Being Latino, it appears, no longer dictates how someone will vote.
The Trump Train being held is small, but Reyes already has plans to hold larger rallies all across the border lands. This first train, he says, “will be like the trailer before the movie.” But it’s hard to hear him. Every few minutes, passing trucks honk their horns, their drivers waving out their windows at the sea of MAGA flags blanketing the dry, thorny landscape that once belonged to Democrats.

‘We Weren’t Loud Enough!’ Texas A&M Proves That ‘Talking Down’ Kyle Field is Personal
COLLEGE STATION, Tx. — Standing along the back end zone as the Missouri Tigers attempted offense at Kyle Field, Texas A&M Aggies yell leader Kyler Fife kept it simple.
“Oh hell yeah,” he said when asked if the crowd at Texas A&M took Missouri’s challenge personally. “Oh hell yeah. I thought we weren’t loud enough!”
His arms outstretched for the latter statement, it was clear that Fife was among the crowd who did take it personally. And the aforementioned challenge?
Kyle Field was not as loud as the Tigers’ practice sessions.
“At some point it can only get so loud,” Missouri quarterback Brady Cook said during the week. “In my opinion, the noise at practice is actually louder. They put these big speakers pretty much two feet right behind me. You can’t hear anything.”
Evidently, The 12th Man made sure such was the case for Cook and company throughout the contest. By the end of the game, the Tigers were forced into a delay of game penalty, two false starts — back to back, no less — and a snap that came too early on a fourth-and-long they certainly needed.
Interestingly enough, the fans didn’t need much help getting pumped up, but they got some anyway. On a critical possession that would have given Missouri some momentum to chip away at the early 17-point lead the Aggies crafted, all it took for the student section to make a difference was a Sheck Wes song.
“Mo Bamba” rang through the speakers three times in a row on three straight plays. And the result was exactly what Texas A&M hoped for. Another failed offensive possession.
“It was kind of like playing the NCAA game,” Aggies edge rusher Nic Scourton said. “Going out there, having fun. Kyle Field’s rocking. We got them backed up. It’s something you dream of as a kid. Like, it’s crazy. It’s just this place is so special to play.”
With how special it’s seen, it made sense that the Maroon & White didn’t take kindly to any outsiders talking down on it, as Scourton explained. Especially not the noise factor.
“It has been interesting that we’ve had people call out Kyle Field a little bit,” Aggies coach Mike Elko said on The Aggie Football Hour. “I heard their quarterback say today that it’s louder in practice than it is at Kyle Field. To me, that’s a challenge to the 12th Man.”
“They kind of lit a fire on us,” Aggies edge rusher Nic Scourton added. “Coming into our place … talking down on Kyle Field. I think guys were really motivated to go out there and be dominant.”
That’s what happened. Texas A&M out-gained Missouri through the air, on the ground, in time of possession and everything else in-between. In the books, the win goes down as a complete domination. To the fans, it was a lesson taught to the Tigers.
And to the players? It was a personal statement.
One they felt good about making.
“What I took personally (was) them saying that their practice would be louder than our stadium,” Aggies leading rusher Le’Veon Moss said. “I took that personal because our 12th Man supports us to the end, no matter what happens.”

Texas High School Football Team In Trouble For Whipping Opponents With Belts After Blowout Victory
A Texas High School football team is facing criticism after not only putting a beating on their opponents 77-0, but also taking belts and whipping some of the opposing team’s players afterward in the handshake line.
Players at the Houston-based Willis High School were seen on a video posted on Facebook taking large belts and swinging them at members of the Cleveland High School team during the customary postgame sportsmanship handshake. At one point, one of the Cleveland players jumps out of the way in order to avoid getting whipped while Willis’s players laugh at their opponent.
WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM TOOK BELTS AND SPANKED / WHIPPED OPPONENTS
Yikes.
If being shut out by 70+ points wasn’t humiliating enough, imagine having your opponents then haze you in front of your teammates, family and school? Not a laughing matter, according to some of the Cleveland player’s parents.
“That’s just shady and there’s no point in doing that. It’s just very childish for them to do that,” Melanie Gonzales told KRHO TV.
“I just don’t get it. I don’t, and I’d be very pissed off if I’m scrolling on my phone, and I see my son getting hit with the belt,” Mary Almaguer also told the outlet as she said that the whole situation was ridiculous. In a statement, Willis High School said that the players involved in the whipping would be suspended for the first half of their next game, partake in community service and receive other disciplinary measures.
For Almaguer, that’s not enough.
PARENTS ARE CALLING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO FILE A COMPLAINT
“I think more than just half of a game suspension, maybe the rest of the season, some counseling,” the player’s mom said. Meanwhile, Cleveland High School released their own statement saying that Willis’s actions were uncalled for and they have contacted the proper district and league officials to file an official complaint.
How times have changed! Back when I was playing sports, the biggest thing we had to worry about was if someone spit on their hand before we all lined up. But to have to maneuver your way around the line so that you don’t get whipped and spanked is absurd.
Also, where were the coaches of either team while all of this was going on? How does nobody step up in that situation ?
Unfortunately, the whipping doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon as more Gen Zers are partaking in the trend for some unknown reason.
