Hey John -

Dan Crenshaw here. I hope you are well.

This week, I announced that federal support for COVID-19 testing sites in Houston would be extended beyond the original June 30th deadline, and set the record straight about the strength of our testing capacity. I also called out Democrats for road blocking meaningful police reform and called on Americans to hold the line and cancel 'cancel culture.'

Follow me on Twitter ([link removed]) , Facebook ([link removed]) , and Instagram ([link removed]) for regular updates and news you can use. As always, thank you for your support.

Now, here’s your brief:
FEDERAL SUPPORT EXTENDED FOR COVID-19 TESTING SITES
Federal support for COVID-19 testing sites in Houston has been extended amid a recent uptick in cases. Houstonians have been inundated over the last few days with headlines about how the federal government was abandoning Houston and that our testing capacity would be severely diminished. But that was all false.

The June 30th deadline for transition to local control of testing in Houston was well known by state and local officials. Texas was well prepared for this, and your ability to go get a test was never threatened. I spoke with Admiral Giroir at the Department of Health and Human Services, who is responsible for leading our testing strategy, and he agreed to extend federal support for testing in Houston past the June 30th deadline.

But we must not allow fear-mongering politicians to hold us hostage to fear. Governor Abbott is taking targeted steps to address a new uptick in cases, which I support. But universal lockdowns were never the right response, and we can never go back to them.

I’ll continue to push for smart reopening strategies that balance our health care concerns with economic concerns. Houston is well-prepared to handle this uptick in cases, and we will get through this together.
DEMOCRATS BLOCK POLICE REFORM
The last couple days have been pretty shocking. Nancy Pelosi would rather call Republicans murderers than work with us to improve policing. ([link removed]) Every attempt to work on common sense, bipartisan reforms was blocked.

Why? Because it isn’t about police reform, it’s about November.

Democrats blocked even having a debate on Senator Tim Scott’s commonsense proposal to improve policing, which I have cosponsored. In the House, Republicans weren’t allowed even a single amendment on the Democrat bill that would lead to less policing. All of us - especially cops - want to address this issue. But Democrats cannot afford to have Republicans offer serious solutions to improve policing.

This is why Congress doesn’t work.
HOLD THE LINE. CANCEL 'CANCEL CULTURE'
George Washington ([link removed]) . Abraham Lincoln ([link removed]) . Ulysses S. Grant. ([link removed]) Teddy Roosevelt ([link removed]) .

None of these beloved figures in America’s story are safe from the outrage mob that has swept across America in recent weeks. The mob has targeted an ever-growing list ([link removed]) of statues, books, movies, television shows, and even food brands. It needs to stop. We must hold the line and cancel 'cancel culture.'

The Fourth of July is right around the corner, and it’s time to remind ourselves that America is great. Our Founders signed their death warrant when they signed the Declaration of Independence, all so that we could live freer and more prosperous than any other group of people in human history. That’s worth celebrating, not canceling.
