U.S. Senators for Texas, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, have introduced new legislation to address Mexico's water delivery shortfalls under the 1944 Water Treaty.
The bill, called the "Ensuring Predictable and Reliable Water Deliveries Act of 2025," notes that Mexico delivered only about 50% of its required water in the last 5-year cycle, which ended in October 2025.
The legislation would authorize the U.S. President to impose repercussions, such as denying non-treaty water requests, if Mexico fails to meet its obligations. The goal is to protect Texas farmers and ranchers affected by the shortages.

DHR Health in Edinburg has earned a major national recognition for its diabetes care, receiving the Advanced Inpatient Diabetes Certification from The Joint Commission.
DHR Health is now one of only four hospitals in Texas and fewer than 50 nationwide to hold this elite certification.
This recognition is especially important for the Rio Grande Valley, where 1 in 3 residents lives with diabetes. According to DHR Health, this certification ensures patients receive care that meets the highest national standards, helping to reduce complications and improve recovery.
Congratulations to the DHR Health team for this accomplishment and for raising the standard of care in South Texas.

Last night, voters across the RGV sent a clear message by rejecting major school bond packages in Brownsville, PSJA, and Rio Grande City.
This is a major shift from what used to be a "clear win" for school districts. For decades, school bonds in Texas had a 70-80% pass rate. They were seen as a routine, necessary investment in growing communities.
The era of school bonds being a "sure thing" is over. Last night's RGV results are the latest and clearest sign of this new reality.
What do you think is the biggest reason for this shift?

Texas AG Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary Kenvue, accusing them of "deceptively marketing Tylenol to pregnant mothers."
The AG's office alleges the companies knew for decades that prenatal exposure to acetaminophen can lead to a "significantly increased risk of autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder but "willfully ignored and attempted to silence the science."
The lawsuit also accuses Johnson & Johnson of illegally transferring Tylenol related liabilities to the new company, Kenvue, in an attempt to "shield their assets" from lawsuits.
“Big Pharma betrayed America by profiting off of pain and pushing pills regardless of the risks. These corporations lied for decades, knowingly endangering millions to line their pockets,” said Attorney General Paxton.
