“A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.”

Here's the blueprint to make Houston's streets safer. This road treatment is relatively low cost, highly effective, boosts economic activity, quality of life, and community.

Deeply disappointed by Metro’s decision to forgo a nearly $1B federal transit grant. This catastrophic mistake undermines equity in transportation, leaving underserved communities without vital improvements. I hope history is kinder to the decision-makers than I am. #houston

No terror during the Trump administration? A white supremacist shot up a Wal Mart in El Paso. Another white supremacist shot up a synagogue in Pittsburgh. Neo Nazis murdered a girl in Charlottesville. All that happened under Trump but apparently he doesn't think it's terror

Two months after Hurricane Beryl, the PUC left no money for microgrids for hospitals, nursing homes, or fire departments but had enough to allocate funds for a massive gas plant to a company that allegedly fabricated a relationship with NextEra Energy Resources. Unbelievable. #txlege

I believe this might be the best journalism I’ve helped make in my career to-date. It’s deeply personal and vulnerable. It’s local news with national relevance. And it gives urgent insight into a mysterious American archetype: a Trump-to-Harris voter. thebarbedwire.com/2024/10/09/she…
