Mr. @realDonaldTrump I put myself through college framing houses. I raise my hand to run HUD.

.@ReporterMMurphy is our go-to for letters and guest commentaries, but she also has a goal of a monthly reported opinion piece. She's met that goal (awesome). Here's her latest on VIA's misunderstood park & ride in Stone Oak. Not the failure people think. https://t.co/ZFIOkxG3iG

The latest from the @ExpressNews Editorial Board dives into what it would mean to ban or limit student cell phone use in schools across Texas. https://t.co/Yy6nenfMAv

Can’t wait to see how they weave orange construction barrels into the narrative of “1923” as they film on the streets of San Antonio.

@ReporterMMurphy fills a critical role on the EdBoard. She manages our letters and attends to the great commentary we run. She is an also a talented writer and this column hits the mark. Judgment and vitriol rule the day in today politics. It is too bad.

Heading into the presidential debate Tues, an exceptional column from @ReporterMMurphy, who is so much more than a childless cat lady: "I understand that our political discourse narrows people into caricatures rather than broadens them into complexity." https://t.co/9yJF0HyzhH

A good idea from a letter writer I must pass along. Is @JudgeJudyTV @JudyJustice free to moderate the presidential debates?

@nancypjohnson Can't wait to see what @nbcsnl does with this.

We’ve done a lot of cool things @ExpressNews the past four years, but this might be my favorite. Reader interaction is the lifeblood of our journalism business. Proud of @ReporterMMurphy @nancypjohnson @joshbrodesky for thinking of fresh and modern ways to engage our readers!

The @ExpressNews took a day away from the intense and never ending news cycle to have a bit of fun. Check out their top-20 holiday songs of all time! There are a few gems, and a few head scratchers, but 100% fun! Happy Holidays from all us to you! 🙏🏼

A must read: "Faith is an incredible foundation. However, faith when used as a blunt instrument is destructive ..."

Thank you to my incredible wife ⁦@MediciAnnalee⁩ for all she is. It is stunning that we even have to write this column. Our payers and thoughts to Kate Cox and her husband. At the Supreme Court of Texas, be better, do better. 🙏🏼 https://t.co/d58kXEXuIi

Since 2007 there has been more than 40 incidents involving the Osprey, resulting in 30 deaths. @saddamscribe has reported on this a number of times, which is why today’s letter in our OpEd pages grabbed my attention. Letters can be submitted to @ReporterMMurphy

This week, with @UrbanFutureLab, we’re launching a series of guest commentaries — San Antonio Forward: The South Texas Triangle.

Our hope is this will spark a conversation about our regional identity and the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. https://t.co/JvYLOrw3oG

We’re canceling all remaining oil and gas leases issued under the previous administration in the Arctic Refuge and protecting more than 13 million acres in the Western Arctic.

As the climate crisis warms the Arctic, we have a responsibility to protect this treasured region for all ages.

This one was tough. A new Top 10 San Antonio BBQ list without my friend and @ExpressNews colleague @chuck_blount. The smoke goes on forever and the party never ends. Chuck would have wanted it that way. https://t.co/OQm3ehjoxW
