Proud to have worn the uniform of the @USArmyReserve. America remains free because of your service and sacrifice.

God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸

Trey Trainor @TXElectionLaw 3d

My new op-ed is up at @TexasScorecard: Texas Republicans didn’t lose the election in one day. We lost the groundwork over two years.

The @RNC & @RNCVoteProtect treated Texas as a battleground, built a real War Room, recruited volunteers, and prepared for months. The @TexasGOP’s operation was a fraction of that size and leaned heavily on others.

Fundraising lagged, relationships with the expanded 2024 coalition weren’t maintained, and election-integrity capacity wasn’t built in time. Results can’t be waved away with unsupported fraud claims—or treated as forces beyond our control.

A state party’s job is year-round infrastructure, not just conventions and congratulations. It’s time for new leadership and a higher standard of accountability.

Years ago as a staffer for then-Rep. @PhilKingTX, I watched @TexasGOP deliver real wins—even in the minority—by staying united and keeping grassroots voices at the table. The parental notification law was one of them.

That lesson applies now. Tuesday’s results were shaped in part by our own divisions. The stakes for the election code, federal judges from Texas, and redistricting after 2030 are too high to ignore.

Congressional subpoenas aren't just for government officials. Leader @SteveScalise's letter names outside allies and industry leaders as likely targets. I'll break down what recipients should know, including the August OLC privilege opinion, tonight on @NTDNews at 6:30 PM ET.
