It's hard to overstate how much of an outlier California is for its slow vote-counting relative to literally any other state or almost any other industrialized democracy.

Honored to have my article featured on the cover of the latest edition of The Texas Prosecutor. It is always a privilege to contribute to a publication that has meant a great deal to me throughout my career, and being on the front cover makes it even better. #Prosecution #Bail

I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state. 

We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service.

To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

I first went on @billmaher’s show in 1996, back when he was on Comedy Central, talking about my book on Ross Perot. I’ve been back a number of time—most recently for God’s Bankers (Covid derailed Pharma).

We’ve agreed and disagreed on plenty over the years.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth: on antisemitism, a comedian is now one of the clearest voices in the Democratic Party.

Maher’s monologue last night cuts through the noise—calling out both the left and the right for fueling this frenzy of anti-Jewish hatred.

What he said shouldn’t be controversial. Yet it is.

I sent him the latest piece @trishaposner and I wrote on antisemitism. Watching this, maybe he read it.

It’s a must listen

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It was great joining @JamesTalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor.

Let’s get it done, Texas!

Maureen Galindo, a sex therapist who led a Democratic House primary in Texas's 35th district — forcing a runoff later this month — has attacked "Jews who own Hollywood" as members of "the Synagogue of Satan" and said she won't take Israeli "Blood money" — in a number of psychotic social media posts like this one

The innumeracy of narrative journalism: Long NYT essay on the fertility decline blames it on uncertainty due to rises in mortality, inequality, unemployment, work vulnerability, poverty, etc., without citing a single datum on how any of these have changed over time, nor even the simplest correlations with fertility. | Why So Few Babies? We Might Have Overlooked the Biggest Reason of All. https://t.co/IlG7Wosrdi

Everyone who cares about climate should understand this. Texas, with no pro-climate policies, has blown passed California in clean energy. In large part because Texas has less red tape and makes it easier to build.

Tomorrow, @TexasMonthly will be dropping a ~12,000 word story on Paul Pressler, the alleged sexual predator who remade the Southern Baptist Convention and helped ordain the marriage between the GOP and white evangelical voters. There is *a lot* in there and I hope you'll read it.
