Let's dig into all of it in this week's roundup.
Texas
Off the Kuff had the goods on two more polls of Texas.
SocraticGadfly called out Texas Monthly for naively accepting at face value the "poor me" story of a major fracking company's head.
DosCentavos ruminates on what Trump's threat to cut public education funds is really about.
Grits for Breakfast sees the forthcoming sunset review of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement as an opportunity to limit the number of police forces in Texas.
