Keller ISD has reported a monkeypox case.
Rethuglican vote suppressors were at it again. This time, it was not minority or poor voters. Instead it was what it and Democraps both try to do regularly — kick third parties off the ballot. Their effort to block Libertarian candidates failed.
Why does Ken Paxton hate Ken Paxton on ballot access? Maybe he's got dementia? Off the Kuff is gobsmacked by the contradictory opinions coming from Ken Paxton about public access to ballots.
SocraticGadfly, this spring, was glad to see any non-Republican running for county judge in his very red area. But, based on the Democrat's initial flier, he expects to undervote the race.
I'm waiting for Wayne-o Christian and the rest of the RRC to bash Biden for not giving it enough bailout money to plug abandoned wells.
Uvalde parents are increasingly unhappy with Strangeabbott on gun control pushes or lack thereof. More at the Observer, specifically on raising the age to own assault rifles to 21. Meanwhile, Uvalde ISD fired chief Pete Arredondo, with him getting pissy the board wouldn't let him take his hogleg into the meeting, and then continuing to blame everybody else, claiming it was "a public lynching."

As the 15th CD race heats up, the Monthly wonders just how much Texas Hispanic support there is for pro-choice stances. It says the reality is complicated, not that the Valley, in particular, is ardently pro-life.

It's business as usual at ERCOT, and if we can talk about brand-new business as usual, it's just the same at the new State Energy Plan Advisory Committee, a PR Band-Aid created by Strangeabbott, Danny Goeb and semi-lackey Dale Phelan after Winter Storm Uri, which means Texans better hope there's not another big winter storm in six months.
The Texas Living Waters Project suggests that key solutions to Texas' water woes are simpler than we think. "Congrats" for what they didn't mention and Kuff didn't notice. Where's water conservation? Probably too much of an ask for White neoliberal Karens and Kens.
Jef Rouner says we still need Congress to truly fix student loan debt.
Reform Austin introduces us to the Arabic version of "In God We Trust."
Tom Bonier analyzes the recent trends in Texas voter registration.
In The Pink Texas is back, baby. I have no idea what the fuck the site is, but I'm leaving the link up because I got not a 404 from my browser, but the equivalent of a 404 from the site's supposed host — after a Firefox warning message.
