Texas reporters, STOP calling the Republican plan an education savings account. One already exists for savings for college or K - 12 private schools, but the families are the ones doing the savings. If vouchers is too hot, call it a private school grant or subsidy.

Q: If the Senate votes to impeach Paxton and bar him from office, would that keep him from running for Congress or US Senate?
Patricks ruling on privilege may have a huge impact. If he rules in Buzbee’s favor, it will be difficult to introduce whistleblower evidence against Paxton.

If you called for Hillary Clinton to be investigated for potentially having classified information on an unsecured server, you should be doing the same for Donald Trump for potentially having classified information in an unsecured box.
The really disappointing thing about the Alex Jones case is Texas decades ago capped punitive damages. My best guess is it is going to cost him and his company a total of about $15 million. And testimony set the value of his company at $207 million.
@GovAbbott , this is a human rights problem. Return the money you took from the system. texastribune.org/2022/08/02/…
Had Covid for the first time last week. Tested negative on Tuesday. Now Im having the Paxlovid rebound. Positive again. Another week in isolation. The virus is real. Don’t spread it. Wear a mask when in public.
