    I'm excited to share that beginning next week I'll be the new anchor at @TXCapTonight at @SpectrumNews1TX. Thrilled to stay in Austin & keep covering Texas politics. I'll be doing some on-the-job training the first weeks & take over as primary anchor in April. Turn those TVs on!

    It is now clear that in an effort to lionize the law enforcement response after a shooting that killed 23 people, state leaders gave incredibly inaccurate information to the public about the shooting's timeline.

    Texas @GovAbbott touting the $54 million the state has raised in private funds as proof that people want to give to the border wall fund. The @TexasTribune found that 98% of that came from one billionaire who can get a tax deduction for the donation.

    When Gov. Abbott says "all options are on the table" it's important to remember he made very similar comments after the El Paso shooting. Then, very little was done. He's dismissing background checks right now & focusing on more mental health funding.
