Lt. Gov. Patrick thanks Sen. Hughes following ‘Life of the Mother Act' passage
Bethesda Pediatrics provides affordable healthcare thanks to East Texas Giving Day
Senate Bill 31, which is known as the Life of the Mother Act, explains the current law against abortions and clears up the definition of 'life threatening' to physicians. The bill helps clarify the proper practice of treating a pregnant woman who is at risk of death or suffering damage to a major bodily function.
'Since 2021, abortions in Texas have essentially ceased, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said. 'As a Christian and a conservative, I celebrate that tens of thousands of tiny Texans have been saved and that Texas has led the way in protecting life nationwide. SB 31, which is only designed to provide legal clarity for doctors in rare cases when a mother's life is threatened, is supported by Texas Right to Life, Texas Alliance for Life, and other life groups. I thank Sen. Hughes for his continued passionate defense of life.'

Next, the Texas House of Representatives will have to pass their version of the bill, HB 44, before the act can advance to Governor Greg Abbott's desk to be signed into law.

We follow the money in politics, and the trail just keeps getting longer
According to the nature of our economy, it's typical that costs increase over time (hello, inflation). But what we're seeing in elections cannot be considered normal. The Pew Research Center recently asked Americans to list which issues are the biggest problems facing the economy right now. Seventy-two percent said the role of money in politics is a 'very big problem' — landing it the foremost spot above health care costs, inflation, the federal deficit, poverty and every other issue. This is significant. While candidates for Congress and the presidency quibble over who gets access to power, moneyed interests continue to creep into the system, making elections costlier than ever. Sometimes it starts to feel like a contest just for the contest's sake. Let's take a look at the numbers. Just three presidential cycles ago, in 2016, the total cost of all federal elections rang in at $6.5 billion, a (relatively) modest increase from 2012. But four years later, the total cost more than doubled to $15.1 billion and, in 2024, nearly matched that total ($14.8 billion). The U.S. vastly outspends all other nations on elections. The source of money has also changed. Twenty-five years ago, the vast majority of candidates who raised more than $200,000 for general election campaigns collected that money from within their districts from people they would ultimately represent if they won (79 percent of House candidates, 62 percent of Senate candidates). As my organization has reported, congressional elections truly have now become national campaigns, with just 17.6 percent local money in House races and only 27.5 percent in Senate races for 2024. So, while more money is pouring into the U.S. election system than ever before, the traditional relationship between elected officials and those they represent has fallen apart. Thanks to the research done by Unite America, we know that nearly all congressional elections are decided by less than 10 percent of voters. Put those low voter participation rates together with low local fundraising rates, and you end up with elected officials who no longer represent the people. And if our officials are not beholden to their constituents, but rather to partisan forces, we end up with a dysfunctional government. We shouldn't be surprised that the American people have had enough. Amid a more politicized landscape in which partisans are moving increasingly toward the extremes, money in politics is one of the few issues that both sides of the aisle can agree on — with 66 percent of Republicans and 78 percent of Democrats citing it as a very big problem. And yet, our leaders appear uninterested in changing a system that helps them stay in power. In every Congress, a handful of lawmakers have introduced legislation to reform the role of money in politics, but none of those bills have any chance at becoming law. In fact, a meaningful campaign finance law has not been enacted since the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act was signed in 2002 — nearly a quarter-century ago. Since then, the courts have eaten away at the restrictions created by the law, clearing the way for super PACs and the untraceable ' dark money ' funds that support them. And then there's the Federal Election Commission, which is tasked with regulating campaign fundraising and expenditures in line with current law, enforcing the rules and punishing those who break the law. But even in the best of times, the FEC rarely takes action. When fully staffed, it has three Republican and three Democratic commissioners, leading to partisan gridlock. But deadlocked votes would be a welcome change from what we are facing now. In order to take action, the FEC requires a quorum of four commissioners. Right now it only has three, so it cannot complete most of its core functions. That leaves the judiciary as the only branch of government considering changes to campaign finance laws. All eyes are on Maine, where voters overwhelmingly approved a 2024 ballot measure setting caps on contributions to super PACs. Opponents have sued to overturn the measure, and the case has been teed up for a federal district court's review. It is likely to end up before the Supreme Court in the next couple years, in what will likely be the most significant ruling on money in politics since Citizens United. Before that case makes it to the high court, the justices may consider another campaign finance case. Current law limits how much money party committees can spend in coordination with candidates' campaign committees. That law is being challenged and the case could be heard this fall. While all this is happening (or, at the FEC, not happening), political operatives are already gearing up for the next elections and strategizing how to raise as much money as possible. If nothing changes, the dollars will only get bigger, and voters will be even more dissatisfied. We deserve better.

In Maine, a political novice makes a long-shot bid to oust Senator Susan Collins
Advertisement 'We need to stop using the exact same playbook that keeps losing over and over and over again,' said Platner, a political unknown who serves as the local harbor master in the tiny town of Sullivan. 'Running establishment candidates who are chosen or supported by the powers that be in D.C. -- in Maine specifically -- has been a total failure, certainly in attempts to unseat Susan Collins. It is time for us to try something new.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up A competitive pistol shooter who worked as a bartender at the Tune Inn on Capitol Hill while attending George Washington University on the GI Bill, he said that 'everyone knows we live in a system that is not built to represent working-class people.' Platner said he had been approached in the past to run for local office, and had always turned it down. But when a group of labor unions focused on climate issues reached out to him about running for Senate, Platner found himself open to the idea. Advertisement 'The political situation feels like a precipice,' he said. 'It feels like it will go really, really dark, or we have an opportunity to claw something back for working people in this country.' An untested candidate like Platner may be a risky bet, but some Democratic strategists said that at a moment of deep anti-Washington sentiment, voters are demanding new faces over veteran politicians they view as part of a system that has failed them. Platner said he was recruited by political organizers who were worried that 'there was going to be a bad decision made for this race, and they went looking around this state for someone. I am terrified that the Democrats are going to squander what could otherwise be a spectacular opportunity.' He said his campaign would focus relentlessly on the dire economic landscape that has made it difficult to afford a house or health care in his state. And his pitch is that he has a unique ability to 'appeal to a lot of voters in Maine who aren't usually on the side of a Democratic politician, or a lot of people who just stopped voting, because they see a political system they feel does not and cannot represent them.' He has already attracted some national political operators to work on his campaign. His sepia-toned launch video was produced by Morris Katz, a top adviser to Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor. A senior adviser is Joe Calvello, who previously worked on the campaign of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa. Advertisement Platner, whose light social media footprint indicates that he has supported Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said he did not define himself as a progressive or a centrist. But he laughed at the idea that he would have any challenge in connecting with supporters of President Donald Trump. Half of his friends and colleagues at the dock voted for Trump, he said. 'I'm a waterman who works in the ocean with his hands. I'm a competitive pistol shooter -- that's my weekend hobby. I have an extensive combat background,' he said. 'Even if I tried to put myself into the buckets that we as a society have created, I don't fit into any of them.' Maine Republicans disagree. 'Being a Bernie Bro and Kamala Harris donor is a profile to appeal to Portland progressives, not centrist and conservative voters in rural Maine,' said Jason Savage, the executive director of the Maine Republican Party. (Platner made a small donation to Harris' campaign last year, and in 2016 donated to Sanders' presidential campaign.) Jordan Wood, a progressive former congressional aide, entered the race in April, making a pitch that Collins 'hasn't changed the system -- she's part of it.' For years, Collins, 72, who leads the powerful Appropriations Committee, has been able to fend off well-funded Democratic challengers despite Maine voting Democratic in the past three presidential elections. But this cycle, she is facing record-low polling, and her race is one of the top targets for Democrats seeking to win back control of the Senate. Platner may need to hone his attacks on Collins as he tries to make the case against her. In the interview, he criticized Collins for allowing Trump's sprawling domestic policy bill to win approval by the Appropriations Committee, then voting against it on the Senate floor. Yet the legislation was not a spending bill, and never went through the committee. Advertisement Mills, a two-term governor and former prosecutor, is still seen by her party's establishment as the strongest candidate to defeat Collins. She clashed with Trump at the White House this year over his threat to deny federal funding to Maine over the issue of transgender athletes competing in women's sports. But Mills is also not viewed as a perfect candidate. At a time when many Democratic voters are demanding generational change, Mills, if elected, would be 79 when taking office, making her the oldest first-term senator in history. 'I would think seriously about it, but I'm not ready to make any decisions along those lines,' Mills told a local television station in Maine this month. This article originally appeared in

Ex-congressman Tim Ryan eyes Ohio comeback with 2026 gubernatorial run
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Former Ohio congressman Tim Ryan is eyeing a 2026 campaign for governor, now that fellow Democrat Sherrod Brown has opted out of the race to run for U.S. Senate. Brown, who lost his U.S. Senate seat last fall and who sources said was mulling a gubernatorial bid, has entered the 2026 race against Republican Sen. Jon Husted. Ryan's spokesperson said in a statement, 'Brown's decision to run for the U.S. Senate has renewed and heightened Tim Ryan's interest in running for governor to further serve the people of Ohio.' Watch a previous NBC4 report on Ryan's possible gubernatorial run in the video player above. Should Ryan enter the race, he will be vying for the Democratic nomination against former Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton, who announced her run in January and has since raised about $1.4 million. Acton boasts endorsements from state Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio, political action committee 314 Action, and Cincinnati Vice Mayor Jan-Michele Kearney. Jon Husted sitting on $2.6 million for 2026 U.S. Senate race In a previous interview with NBC4, state Sen. Bill DeMora (D-Columbus) said Brown or Ryan 'are the only two people that can win for governor next year.' DeMora claimed the Democratic party's candidates for other statewide offices, like attorney general and secretary of state, 'will come out of the woodwork' once Ryan declares his candidacy. 'We need to get a good candidate, and again, I've always said Sherrod Brown or Tim Ryan,' DeMora said. '[Democrats have] great candidates who right now are a little skittish about running because they don't think that the person at top of the ticket can win statewide right now. So, I'm hoping that one of those two decides to run.' A 2026 run for governor would act as a comeback for Ryan, who served in the U.S. Congress for Ohio's 13th and 17th districts from 2003 to 2023 until unsuccessfully running for the U.S. Senate in 2022 against now Vice President J.D. Vance. That Democratic primary saw Ryan beat former Obama consumer protection official Morgan Harper and Columbus activist Traci Johnson. Ryan teased a possible run for the governor's mansion in a May NBC4 interview, where he said Ohio Democrats need to rebrand. He argued a majority of the state's voters agree with the party's ideas, pointing to Democrat-led constitutional amendments that passed in 2023 legalizing recreational marijuana and protecting access to abortion. The Spectrum: Bipartisanship in Congress; job interview registry 'On many of the issues, the people of Ohio are aligned with Democrats,' Ryan said. 'But, then you put the 'D' by the name and say, 'Oh, this person is going to go work with Chuck Schumer,' then the whole dialogue changes at that point, so I think we need a complete rebrand.' The Democratic primary's winner will likely face Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, the billionaire and 2024 presidential candidate who began his run in February and has raised $9.7 million, setting a record for the largest first-quarter fundraising total in Ohio history. He touts endorsements from Ohio's Republican Party, political action committee Ohio Corn & Wheat, and President Donald Trump. Republican Heather Hill, an entrepreneur from Appalachia, tossed her name in the race but has struggled to gain traction. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced his bid in January, then dropped out in May and has since supported Ramaswamy. Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel, who replaced Husted as the state's second in command, is also said to be considering a run. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
