- I think a proper tribute to @Bourdain would be wherever you live, venture across town, across the tracks, to a place you wouldn’t normally go and find a place to eat and talk with strangers. #anthonybourdain
- A powerful moment that will likely go unnoticed by most. Nancy Pelosi escorts Congressman Sam Johnson of Texas to casket of #JohnMcCain. Johnson is one of the most conservative members of Congress and also spent 7 years as a POW in the Hanoi Hilton.
- The parents of Axel Acosta Avila come to the #AstroWorld memorial to pay tribute to their son with mariachi music. They sing, “I have a home on the other side of the sun.”
00:00 - I’ve spent a lot of time in my career reporting on/from #Texas and this is easily one of the darkest, most frustrating weeks I’ve ever experienced here.
- Important to note that just before the Governor of Texas went on Fox News to talk about Green New Deal he was telling local reporters that natural gas pipelines were frozen and the source of bigger issues.You’re the governor of a state where millions don’t have power, where people are literally dying of exposure, and you go on Fox news to talk about... the Green New Deal? You are the governor. Your party has run Texas for 20 years. Accept responsibility & help us get out of this.
- If everyone could stop sharing the story of the woman with the eye worms, I’d be grateful and my nightmares would go away!
- DEVELOPING: Yesterday the director of the Texas DPS said a Robb Elementary campus officer "engaged" the #Uvalde shooter outside the school Now, Texas DPS says the shooter enter school unobstructed, there was no campus officer.
- Seen in Dallas. A Duplex Divided. Not sure the old adage “Good fences make good neighbors” applies here. #Election2020
- BREAKING: In what will surely spark a Texas election controversy, Gov Greg Abbott is ordering counties to only operate one mail-in ballot drop-off location. Harris County had opened nearly a dozen drop sites in a county that's larger than Rhode Island. More details to come..
- UPDATE: Looks like it was a good night of power restoration across #Texas. This site shows the number of households without power is down to 536K. Lowest number we've seen in several days. #TexasBlackout #TexasFreeze
- What a day! Overwhelmed by your responses. All the credit goes to the hundreds of people, like Austin Seth, who showed up with boats to help
- Important reminder!!! If you're in line to vote in Texas by 7pm, STAY IN LINE!Also, and this is important: If you are in line at 7pm when the polls close, Texas law says you get to vote #txlege #ElectionDay
