    Attention, fellow Texans: We have run out of electricity again. Keep the AC at 78 degrees all weekend, and notice how this comes out after the Texas Capitol phones are closed for the day ercot.com/news/release?i…

    Arlington, it's finally time for a championship parade! Starts at 1 pm Fri near home plate, loops west and north around Holtz Lake and back around Choctaw Stadium. This time the victory parade isn't in Dallas. It's for the Texas @Rangers

    Trump’s lead over Kamala Harris down to 5 points in Texas; Ted Cruz only leads Colin Allred by 2, and it’s within the margin of error. New ⁦@UHouston⁩ poll today in ⁦@startelegram⁩
    Vice President Kamala Harris stands with her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz during a rally at Temple University in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2024.
    Poll: How does Harris compare to Trump among Texas voters? Will she do better than Biden?

    Democrat @BetoORourke drew a block-long crowd in Waxahachie, but it was his nearest tour stop to Dallas. Still impressive, video here fb.watch/eLVdVsWEmw/ And note Dale Hansen (the next ex-sportscaster in Texas politics?) in the crowd (Tom Forsyth's photo from FB).

    Asked to say something nice about opponent, @BetoORourke talks about Cruz's family and children. @tedcruz thanks Beto, talks about himself and praises Beto for speaking out like Bernie Sanders. Beto replies drily: "True to form." #txsen #txsenatedebate

    Here's @BetoORourke punching up: "This is what people don't like about Washington DC. You just said something and attributed it to me that I did not say." #TXSen #TXSenateDebate

    Joe Biden has taken the lead in Tarrant County, Texas, an apparent replay of 2018 when Beto won the county but Democrats didn’t flip a single countywide or Texas House seat

    The year is 2023, and I am watching Dolly Parton in a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders outfit singing “Jolene” and “9 to 5” at halftime of the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day game. What was in that mushroom gravy?

    “We’re in the middle of a pandemic. We’ve had problems with our electric grid. And they’re screwing around with how many machines we can have in a polling place?”@judge_whitley on Texas’ Senate Bill 7
    State Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, talks to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick March 30 after an anti-abortion bill by Hughes passed the Senate.
