I would only ask the House Republicans to look at where those gains occurred and reflect on how the Legislature’s anti-fast growing conservative city and county legislation is turning those areas blue.

I asked Cornyn if his party has a broader problem in wake of racist Bo French tweet and multiple GOP staffers’ Nazi ties. He said:

@johnarnold Texas had a system pre 2013 which showed dramatic student learning gains. Focused resources, scaled best practices, gradually increased student and school and district accountability.

Amazing to me that everyone is like “hot chick in ad will undermine sports” while not caring that the ad is for sports gambling — which according to every sentient being on earth will definitely undermine sports.

Bob Stoops never got enough credit for being a defensive coach who nailed every single OC hire

Mike Leach
Mark Mangino
Chuck Long
Kevin Wilson
Josh Heupel
Lincoln Riley

Banger after banger after banger from a head coach with a defensive background.

@KingBAV @Buster_ESPN Yep. Someone else on his crew has to intervene there. And he’s gotta be suspended for multiple games.

There is such a huge cost to not addressing homelessness, mental health, and drug addiction. Addressing the complex problem is not going to be cheap, but continuing the status quo will bankrupt us as a society.

I have been saying this for almost a decade: Texas is a suburban state. As the GOP slides in the suburbs, it hits disproportionately hard in the Lone Star State. Their only saving grace is that Ds might be close to maxing out their gains with college educated Whites.

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

No it doesn't.
The vast majority of the Texas Lieutenant Governor's powers are derived from the rules adopted by the Texas Senate. The office has almost no constitutional powers. State senators can vote by simple majority to strip almost all powers from the lieutenant governor.

@LoewyLawFirm Rather infuriating. Don’t hate BV but they need to compete in Dallas occasionally before you even think about this kinda move.

As a New Yorker and a father, I would be lying if I said working on this story didn't hit me emotionally in a very deep way.

As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, it couldn't be more important to hear the stories of heroes such as Michael Cammarata.

[J.B. Sauceda @jaybsauceda]

Accurate. Especially with what’s been going on with beef prices.

[Christopher Hooks @cd_hooks]

So many people in positions of authority now are zooted on uppers, downers, steroids, hormones, research chemicals, and other weird shit. Our era’s leaded gasoline

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

Paxton and Talarico both going slow on data centers, the issue upending Texas politics right now and has Governor Abbott at odds with President Trump

[Sean T at RCP @SeanTrende]

@speechboy71 But this is how it usually is. There were specific Tea Party candidates everyone talked about in, say, 2010, but no one talked about Kelly Ayotte crushing Ovide Lamontagne.

[David Smith @DasAus48]

Folks entering 183 around a “Road Closed” sign is a whole new level of whitless shitgibbon behavior . . .

@cahnman @rogerclemens @peacock @YESNetwork Indeed!

Might’ve said something similar to a certain LF denizen a bit ago.
