The Texas Progressive Alliance did not find any tigers
in abandoned homes this week, but it did find the time to produce a
weekly roundup.
Off the
Kuff considers the people not named Beto who are considering running for
the Senate in 2020.
SocraticGadfly
looks at the dustup between AIPAC and Rep. Ilhan Omar and says she
shouldn't have apologized in 2020.
And here are some posts of interest from other state and
national sites about Texas.
Down with Tyranny does
mention Sema Hernandez in his take on the 2020 Senate race, a person
that somehow just doesn’t make it on Kuff’s radar.
In a brief, Pages
of Victory agrees with Gadfly on AIPAC vs Omar.
Stephen Young at the Dallas Observer notes that In a brief, Laura
Miller is back in the ring, challenging Jennfer Staubach Gates for
Roger the Daughter’s Dallas City Council seat.
(Yours truly looks forward to this throwdown very much IF
it’s Miller the former Observer reporter running. If it’s former Dallas Mayor
Laura Miller, not so much. I offer 50-50 odds, though, that it’s Miller the
mayor we get.)
Therese
Odell talks about her personal connection to gun violence in America.
Somervell County Salon discusses how Google

for Breakfast shows why we know so little about the bad cops on some
police forces.
Meanwhile, venerable (but quickly losing “venerated” status)
Dallas Observer columnist Jim Schutze writes another blank checks for cops
piece, this one fellating
the Dallas PD’s union. (This is at least the third such piece in the
past couple of months, and yours truly thought other Texas Progs needed it
brought to their attention.

Hu takes the O.J. Tour.
The
Texas Trib details how rookie state Senate Legiscritter Angela Paxton
has filed a bill that would let hubby AG Kenny Boy Paxton issue exemptions from
state securities regulations — the same regulations whose avoidance of which has led to criminal charges for
Kenny Boy.
Brains and Eggs offers his
latest installment of “your top Democrat,” handicappijng the 2020
prez race.
Stephen Young gets a second link, as he talks about the
utter political weirdness of Dallas’ old guard backing Eric Johnson
for mayor. OTOH, it’s not so weird when one thinks that Johnson had already
done some degree of sellout even before throwing his hat in the ring.
