LETA POWELL DRAKE was a Nebraskan celebrity interviewer who in her 1970's & 1980's pomp more often than not left her subjects staring wide-eyed in disbelief at what the fuck she’d just said.

Devastating news out of Lubbock: My dear friend Chad Hasty passed away this morning. His voice was known across much of the Great State and had a heart as big as Texas. I'll miss him very much #TxLege

Led by Commodore Edwin Ward Moore, the Texas Navy aided Yucatán rebels in the Battle of Campeche against a pair of formidable Mexican steamships.

LBJ signs Voting Rights Act, US Capitol Rotunda, 1965.

[Save Texas History @SaveTXHistory]

The Texas General Land Office had the privilege of receiving a generous donation of rare, historic Texas maps valued at $3.5 million.

[LBJ Foundation @LBJFoundation]

Today’s SCOTUS decision renders the 1965 Voting Rights Act effectively gutted.

The VRA was LBJ's proudest legislative accomplishment, allowing for free and fair elections and the prospect of a truly representative government.

🚨NEW: CBS Evening News Anchor and longtime journalist John Dickerson is leaving the network. This comes after he was critical of decisions by CBS to cater to Trump, including settling a bogus lawsuit and firing Stephen Colbert.

RETWEET if you stand with Dickerson against CBS!

@dcsandbrook @thetimes You miss the point. There is an important legal process to ensure historical memory and preservation of PUBLIC buildings. Trump has blatantly ignored all. Repair and renovation are necessary and expected. Imagine tearing up Trafalgar Square for a ballroom…you okay with that?

[The Alamo @OfficialAlamo]

On October 24, 1960, “The Alamo” starring John Wayne made its world premiere at the Woodlawn Theatre in San Antonio. In the 65 years since the film’s release, fans have traveled from all over the world to see the battle site in person and walk in the footsteps of heroes.

@SenMarkKelly I wish you would consider running for president in 2028.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

The government is shut down, Americans are worried about rising health care costs, and meanwhile the President is demolishing the East Wing of the White House for his big new ballroom. Sounds like he’s got the wrong priorities.
