And now we are down to none.
- The bill to create the Wise Regional Water District, the only bill Wise County rep Andy Hopper has gotten to the House floor, went down in flames last night when it was royally defeated by a vote of 41-78. Hopper's entire presentation last night, including some brutal questioning, is here. It's 9 minutes long, but it is wildly entertaining . It looks like Hopper has made some enemies along the way (see at 6:39)
- But Hopper did spend time on social media yesterday fighting the repeal of the crime of homosexual conduct - a Texas law that was declared unconstitutional and invalidated 22 years ago.
- In other legislative news, the House voted to put air-conditioning in all Texas prisons like a federal court has told them to. Hopper voted against it.
- Still on the run.
- Denver Airport is now competing with Newark for the award of pilots flying blind.
- So let's check in on what the Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday to see if he is working hard to solve the problem. Oh, he was posting this video message:
- Walmart made the announcement yesterday morning during an earnings report.
- Former FBI Director James Coney posted this picture of shells arranged on a beach yesterday, and now Republicans want him jailed because of it.
- And the new FBI Director, Kash Patel, is acting like he will do it. Welcome to Authoritarianism.
- The Supreme Court heard oral arguments yesterday in a birthright citizenship case which was actually more about when a federal district judge should be allowed to issue a nationwide injunction. Prediction: They won't rule on birthright citizenship (yet) but will fashion (make-up) a rule which allows nationwide injunctions only when a "basic and core fundamental constitutional right" - or some other flowery language - - is involved. And they will let the nationwide injunction against Trump stand in this case.
- Tell me this isn't real.
- Trump quick hits from the Middle East:
- Oh, good grief.
- Someone explain to this man that "groceries" isn't some historical term. Video.
- Stephen Miller runs the government, and Trump wants a palace.
- Graduate of Groesbeck High School and North Texas State, actor Joe Don Baker has died. I remember him most from Cape Fear:
- The Fort Worth Court of Appeals affirmed a Wise County criminal case yesterday involving a prolonged detention case.
- Lauren Whitener Clock: 5 years and 318 days.
