College Station Today

Michael McCaul, a longstanding representative of Texas’ 10th district in the U.S. Congress since 2005, recently took to social media to express his views on several legislative developments. Born in Dallas and currently residing in Austin, McCaul holds degrees from Trinity University and St. Mary's University.

On July 3, 2025, McCaul shared his enthusiasm for a significant legislative achievement by stating "I’m proud to have joined my Republican colleagues in voting to restore our great nation and put this historic bill on the president’s desk—just in time for Independence Day." This statement underscores his commitment to the recent bipartisan effort.

In another post made on the same day, McCaul announced the passage of what he referred to as "OBBB," saying "OBBB = PASSED The American people elected a Republican House, Senate, and White House because they were tired of a raging border crisis, a weak national security, and a broken economy. The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers on their mandate by funding President Trump’s border." His remarks highlight the perceived mandate given by voters who supported Republican leadership across branches of government.

Further emphasizing state-level contributions to national security efforts, McCaul acknowledged Texas' role with "When the Biden admin abdicated its duty to secure the homeland, Texas stepped up—fighting tirelessly on the front lines to defend all 50 states. On behalf of a grateful nation, I’m proud to have secured a provision in the OBBB to pay TX back!" This comment reflects his advocacy for compensating Texas for its actions taken during perceived federal shortcomings.
