State of the State: Texas Is 40th Overall. Greg Abbott and Texan Republicans in Congress Aren't Helping.
Texas ranks 40th of 50 on the measures we track, with the second-worst food insecurity and second-worst women's health scores in the country.

Americans Say Groceries Are Their Biggest Money Worry. House Republicans Spent the Evening of September 1 Voting to Condemn Socialism.
H.Res. 1490 passed 220-192. It changes no law and spends no money.
