OK, a lot of people have been asking for this one.

Just Say No to analysis of early voting. It probably won't help you to make better predictions. But you may fool yourself. Here's why.

The story for Texas women & the people who love them is bleak right now. Women are more likely to die from pregnancy in TX than in Ohio or Massachusetts.

We can never bring Josseli back, but we can change the story for others. Right now. Vote. #txlege

This is the prosecutor who threatened to fight me outside the courtroom when I pointed out in trial that he had failed to disclose evidence in a case.

Just so the people of Collin County know who their tax dollars are paying for.

If you feel there's something different about what's going on at the border, you're not wrong. We've got proof. Read this important report by @propublica. https://t.co/m2uz9W5Ogr

[Mica Rosenberg @micarosenberg]

Today @propublica is launching a deeply reported series about immigration in the US today, and what isn’t being talked about by either campaign. Our opening story w/ @JeffErnsthausenthat puts what is happening around the country in historical context

@scottjshapiro When Star Wars said democracy will end with thunderous applause, this is what they meant.

[Doug Gladden @DougtheLawyer]

The Texas Legislature can do two things next session to keep this from ever happening again:

1) Abolish the death penalty
2) Introduce a constitutional amendment to abolish the Court of Criminal Appeals

@jodyssanders @MSFalkenberg.

[Doug Gladden @DougtheLawyer]

This court is hopelessly broken. In January, one-third of it will be replaced. Only time will tell if the 3 new judges are an improvement. In the meantime, the legislature should seriously consider abolishing the CCA and giving SCOTX total final appellate jurisdiction in Texas.

"i’m just blunt." no you aren't blunt. you just don’t care how you talk to people because you think your opinion is more important than respect or courtesy. i hate when people think the only way to be truthful is to be blunt, harsh or rude.

[Julian Aguilar @nachoaguilar]

Data from May 2023 to April 2024 showed that 72% of those accused of smuggling immigrants were U.S. citizens. Less than 10% were from Mexico. #txlege

@ASFleischman Update: general deterrence fails again. https://t.co/Yiz82W2qLA

@ASFleischman There's no reason to think putting these people in cages for up 3 years will deter anyone more than if they had received a short jail stint.

[Adam Isacson @adam_wola]

An updated monthly reminder that Texas's "Operation Lone Star" hasn't caused Border Patrol's migrant apprehensions to drop any more steeply than in Arizona, where the state government is not carrying out any such crackdown.

Starting from the record-high month of December 2023:

Opinion | I am appalled by Republicans terrorizing innocent Haitians in Ohio. I am also appalled by the Democrats’ proposed tax hike on my hedge fund. I have never felt more politically homeless.
