• Texas Top Cop: Uvalde Police Could’ve Ended Rampage Early On
• DPS Director Steve McCraw says officers in Uvalde could have taken down gunman within 3 minutes had commander not hesitated
• First Image From Inside Texas School Shooting Released Ahead of Senate Hearing
• Classroom Door in Uvalde School Shooting Was Not Locked, Official Says

Why, other than owing his office to Democrats, is Speaker Phelan opposed to having Republicans serve as chairmen of all House committees?
