Hey City of San Antonio your city clerk phone system recording is the worst I've ever seen. There is literally no option to talk to a human w/o listening to a full 3 mins of a recording first. And even when you get the line to ring, it goes straight to voicemail. Terrible

Looks like the left hand and the right hand aren't exactly in sync today. Paxton seems a little annoyed at Abbott for jumping the gun. texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/…

Live on air is a level of nervous I’m not used to. I hope I did alright, but I welcome any constructive criticism about the legal arguments. kxan.com/video/texas-et…

Surprisingly, this one is on the House. The Senate passed the TEC sunset bill with this exact language already in it. If the House had made it a priority like all of us asked them to, the Dem quorum-break fundraising issue wouldn’t even be a question. Unforced errors, man.

Another great week for my clients at the Texas Ethics Commission! Initial fine rec by staff - $150,000. Final fine amount - $2,500. Cumulatively my clients have paid a grand total of $3,500 in fines. If you are facing a fine at the TEC, call me before you do anything!

As we move into the midterms, expect the line between "voter" and "investor" to blur. If you are involved in political consulting, compliance, or campaign strategy, you cannot afford to ignore it. linkedin.com/pulse/kalshi-p…

Well, hate to say I told you so, but I told you this was going to happen. And by invoking Rep. Mitch Little’s “parody” phrase he used so much on the back mic, there’s nothing she can do about it. youtube.com/shorts/f8r9bDS…. Welcome to the new AI campaign hellscape.

Let’s just keep this in mind the next time we hear those from the GOP screaming about “CLOSE THE PRIMARIES” and trying to call it election fraud. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

Good reminder for candidates out there. Paying your family members to work on your campaign is okay only as long as it’s fair market value. Anything more and you invite a formal complaint. nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news-a…
