Carlton cared deeply for the @TexasObserver & always supported staff. The TXO community is feeling his loss today and will continue to for the weeks and months to come. We'll have more to come about Carlton, but for now, read this interview from our 70th: https://t.co/cP3u7udZR7

Carlton Carl was one of the first board members I got to know when I joined the Observer in 2017. He hosted the staff at his Martindale home after a retreat about a month after I started the job. He opened his home and his scotch collection to us, in true Carlton fashion...

The Observer's 70th anniversary celebration last night was really something special, y'all. It was a great turnout that included multiple generations of those who devoted big parts of their lives to making this magazine, and this community, possible. My deepest thanks to all.

BREAKING: A *rare* abortion rights win in Texas – voters in the conservative city of Amarillo have voted AGAINST an abortion travel ban that would have empowered residents to sue anyone who "aids and abets" abortion access across state lines.

Helluva story up today from @stevanzetti--especially relevant for Dallas voters soon headed to the polls.

Pour a fresh cup of coffee, it's a sprawling investigation you'll want to finish: https://t.co/DjQtOPHzw4

THREAD:
I've been digging into an Austin lobbyist named James Frinzi and his company Multiband Global and allegations of an elaborate fraud scheme.

It's a long, wild saga, one that involves his friends Ken & Angela Paxton. #txlege

Just 36 hours in and we're already half way to our goal of raising $5K! Help us hit our goal early by making a gift today: https://t.co/9vvGGevPa0

[Loren A. Lynch @LorenAL]

As we rapidly approach election day, having as many eyes on the halls of power is critical, but that need doesn't go away on Nov. 6.

Reporting like @by_jmiller's cover story on the Paxton's is the result of months of watchdog reporting.

[Loren A. Lynch @LorenAL]

We're able to do this kind of work thanks to the support of our readers. We're running a mini-drive this week with the goal of raising $5,000 in 5 days—make a gift today and help us reach it!
