Dear Texans,
WASHINGTON (AP) — A chartered train carrying dozens of GOP lawmakers to a Republican retreat in West Virginia struck a garbage truck south of Charlottesville, Virginia on Wednesday, lawmakers said.
No lawmakers were believed injured in the accident. One person has been reported killed in the accident, and another seriously injured, but no further details have been released.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Tuesday night praised President Donald Trump for using his State of the Union address to highlight the "stunning successes" of his first year in office, cutting taxes, reducing regulation and appointing conservative judges.
And, Cruz told Sean Hannity on Fox News, "it was stunning to watch Washington Democrats sit there stone-faced and refuse to applaud more jobs, higher wages, jobs coming back to America, refuse to applaud wins for the working men and women of America."
