The “Trump is definitely gonna win” tone of two months ago was embarrassing. The “Biden’s got this” tone after the SOTU was embarrassing. The amount to which coverage shifts every two weeks based on the whims of individual poll….embarrassing!!
House GOP conservatives are galvanizing against @RepTonyGonzales ahead of his primary runoff against conservative social media influencer Brandon Herrera. @MicaSoellnerDC with the details: punchbowl.news/article/tony-g…
Gov. Greg Abbott was named to Time Magazine's 100 list of the world's most influential people, in the "leaders" section. His office describes it as an "honor" and a recognition for his efforts bringing attention to the border crisis. Here's the blurb on the Time site:
The first city in Texas: Thanks to the Nacogdoches Chamber of Commerce for a chance to visit with East Texas leaders alongside talented journalists including @AlexSamuelsx5 @bradj_TX and @zachdespart. Special thanks to @travisfortexas for the invitation and for his service.
Democrats? For @tedcruz? Texas’s junior senator is courting a somewhat novel constituency for someone so active as a culture warrior. My latest for @TexasMonthly: texasmonthly.com/news-politics/… #TXSenate
Email from the @TXGOPCaucus confirms @TomOliverson as the new caucus chair and that an election to fill the now-vacant vice chair position will be held soon. #txlege
The upcoming eclipse path in Texas is Biden+1.2
My Statement on The Conclusion of Decade Long Political Prosecution:
UPDATE: Paxton perform 100 hours of community service in Collin County, take 15 hours of legal ethics education and pay a restitution of about $300,000. At the end of 18 months, the charges will be dismissed.

🚨 @TomOliverson is holding a press conference at 10 a.m. "to make a major announcement regarding the Texas House Speaker’s race," per his chief of staff. #txlege

Texas Judge Hopefuls Overcome Thin Resumes With Paxton Support. Two of the three lawyers who rode Paxton's endorsement to primary win have never been a judge and have little appeals experience. Yet they'll likely sit on state's highest criminal court. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/low…
NEW from me: Nacogdoches Rep. Travis Clardy was a casualty of @GovAbbott’s crusade to get rid of GOP voucher opponents. Clardy spoke w/ me about Abbott’s “heavy-handed” involvement in his race and predicted what he thinks is next for his #txlege colleagues texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
Gonzales with a notable endorsement in his runoff. Patrick’s backing is typically requisite for a Trump endorsement in Texas too

Great panel (@MWatkinsTrib @zachdespart @RenzoDowney @matthewichoi & @AlexSamuelsx5 ) discussion about the results of the #Texas primary elections and what’s ahead for the May 28 runoffs. #txlege #txed @TexasTribune @TexasGOP @texasdemocrats
My latest (and maybe last) post for @TexasMonthly’s election night live-blog: Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan acknowledged what many of us have known for the last hour—he’s headed to a runoff against David Covey texasmonthly.com/news-politics/… #txlege
Currently endangered #txlege House GOP incumbents... Losing outright (9) Dutton Clardy Bailes Jetton Shine Rogers Smith Spiller Allison Trailing, opponent in runoff territory (5) Phelan Kuempel Burns Frazier Stucky Ahead, in runoff territory (3) VanDeaver Holland Klick
False narratives already out there. Phelan is currently in runoff territory.

Not a movie, but a hated trope: The “journalist who almost kills themselves working until 2AM every day to get the story.” It’s such a common theme that perpetuates — if not makes “honorable” — burnout, empathy fatigue and broader mental health crises.
Fall semester 2024 I am teaching a course I have not taught before. It's a seminar for First Year students at NYU. The title: "The figure of the journalist in Hollywood film." Feel free to send me your favorite journalism movies. Especially any you think I may not know about.
After the violence on #UTAustin's campus yesterday, I asked my students if they still wanted to have class. So we ate doughnuts, took last day of school pictures, and talked about protest politics.
NEWS: My friends and I now own and run The Onion. I’ll be the CEO. We’re keeping the entire staff, bringing back The Onion News Network, and share the wealth with staff. Basically, we’re going to let them do whatever they want. Get excited. nytimes.com/2024/04/25/bus…
Count me among those who want to know what the arrests were for. Unauthorized or obstructive gathering? Specific threats? A demonstration I disagree with is not against the law. I’ve spent a lot of time busting colleges for muzzling views I admired. Answers would be good here.
Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses. These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled.

Not a swiftie or a hater but a secret third thing (like certain songs of hers a pretty normal amount)
You should not be shooting your shot at women in the gym. That’s not what people go to the gym for. The same way you shouldn’t be shooting at servers/bottle girls at work. Not saying that people don’t hit it off in such spaces but best to let the woman initiate in that setting
“Females” in place of women
What are some signs that someone has really low intelligence?
A reminder I was part of the @latimes layoffs. I can write the hell out of a profile, feature or an investigation. I have a hefty list of profiles and culture and health stories I’m looking to find a home for through freelancing or a new job with a great editor. Get in touch.
It’s never the best time to announce this but been meaning to share I received a layoff notice from @latimes last month. Not ideal, some feelings about it, but alas, we move. A quick thread on what I’m thinking about next. Walk with me. 🧵
Shocker. It’s almost as if a forced TV courtship that makes a mockery of marriage is a bad idea.

This week, my great-grandma, Lily Ebert, a 100-year-old Auschwitz survivor, became a great-great-grandma. "I never expected to survive the Holocaust. Now I have five beautiful generations. The Nazis did not win!" From near-death at Auschwitz to five generations of Jewish life.
The first city in Texas: Thanks to the Nacogdoches Chamber of Commerce for a chance to visit with East Texas leaders alongside talented journalists including @AlexSamuelsx5 @bradj_TX and @zachdespart. Special thanks to @travisfortexas for the invitation and for his service.
@scottbraddock @AlexSamuelsx5 @bradj_TX @zachdespart @travisfortexas Excellent session.
in my experience, having a handful of journalists at a party is good because they can talk to anybody and often have funny stories, but you have to keep it below 50% or it will quickly turn into kvetching about the copy desk
