Texas Senator Carol Alvarado announced she would filibuster Republicans’ rigged congressional maps. The Lieutenant Governor blocked her before she even started. Republicans can’t win a fair fight, so they’re banning the fight altogether.

Republicans are letting the Attorney General write laws to give himself more power. In 2021, a conservative court ruled that it was illegal. Turns out “law and order” doesn’t apply when Republicans want more control.

Greg Abbott must think Texans are idiots. This is a blatant, mid-decade power grab that silences the voice of millions of Texans. Republicans scream about freedom, then steal it from the voters they fear.

Texas Republicans are fueling culture wars based on lies. They tried to lie about a school in MY DISTRICT… but I didn’t let them. If you're going to attack Texans, you better have your facts straight.

Texas Parents: We need less testing. Texas Republicans: Cool. We’re gonna do MORE testing!!!

ARYNA SABALENKA CLINCHES HER FOURTH GRAND SLAM TITLE! 🏆🏆🏆🏆

I'm proud to support Texas' next US Senator, James Talarico! After 7 years sharing a desk, I've seen James fight with integrity, legislate with empathy, and stand up for the people who sent him to Austin. Let's flip tables and flip this seat. Join us: jamestalarico.com

Instead of fighting actual crime, the Department of Justice is attacking Austin’s local control and freedom. Austinites know that equity and inclusion are imperative to our success as the greatest city in America. The DOJ should fight crime — not diversity.

The Indiana Fever lost Caitlin Clark and four other players to season-ending injuries They have now clinched their spot in the semifinals, for the first time since 2015, with a huge upset over the 3-seed Atlanta Dream thanks to a come-from-behind Game 3 victory A STUNNER in ATL

Public transit is about more than buses and trains — it’s about connecting our community. Austinites deserve to get to work, school, or the doctor without unnecessary obstacles or crushing costs. I will continue to fight for a transit system that brings us together.

I don't know how this game is tied with just under a minute to go. The Aces seem like about to choke big time. Fever defense is keeping them in it in spite of all the odds. And are you not entertained?

If the Wings somehow land Brondello I will cease all shit talking about the city of Dallas for like the rest of the decade. I'd maybe even be willing to include its gawd awful football team in that. But let's not get too hasty.

Shit is wild. W. I. L. D.

Chelsea Gray. That's the tweet. #WNBA #WNBAPlayoffs

Robert Roberson must have a new trial.

Engelbert deserves the criticism she's getting, but she's not the real villain in the WNBA's labor fight -- more attention needs to be paid to parties with real power in this situation, Adam Silver and the NBA. My latest for CBS Sports: cbssports.com/wnba/news/gett…

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals just stopped Robert Roberson’s execution. The courts will finally review the latest evidence and science in his case. After more than 20 years, Texas has the chance to do the right thing and deliver true justice for Nikki and Robert.

Justice requires the courage to admit when we’re wrong. After two decades, Robert Roberson will finally have his case reviewed again — this time with new evidence and up-to-date science. Taking the time to get it right doesn’t weaken our system. It strengthens it.

Peaceful protest is at the heart of our democracy. Using force to intimidate or silence dissent betrays our deepest values. Texans see through these strong-arm tactics — we’re done with leaders who ignore and dismiss the people they serve.

BREAKING: Texas just froze certifications for Historically Underutilized Businesses. This program supports women, veteran, and minority-owned businesses across our state. This is a shameful attack on small businesses — Texas should be expanding opportunity, not erasing it.
