🎵What do you get with a feral hog?
A pig that's 200 pounds of trouble
With nasty tusks and bristly stubble

BREAKING: TX Supreme Court GRANTS @TXAG Ken Paxton's request to block his deposition (+ 3 aides) in the whistleblower case.

Says the trial court abused its discretion by ordering depos "w/o considering that the only fact issue ... is now uncontested." Bg:

Just an absolutely unreal graphic showing Trump's gains in Texas-Mexico border counties since 2016. Starr County, population 65,920 and 97% Latino, shifted 75 PERCENTAGE POINTS in Trump's direction. https://t.co/VqI1MUPmiv

The story of the Texas Senate race: Ted Cruz won Latino voters by 6 points, per NBC News exit polls. In his last race in 2018, Cruz *lost* Latinos by 29 points.

A 35-point swing.

There are 32 contested races in Texas appeals courts.

Republicans are leading in all but one.

We're on track for a lot of blue-to-red flips in Houston and Dallas.
