SocraticGadfly saw the obits news last week, and immediately remembered Michael Badnarik as "Mr. Driving Without a License," and gave the 2004 Libertarian presidential nominee a "proper salute" for that and more.
Off the Kuff takes a look at some more in depth polling data about attitudes towards abortion in Texas.
Stace gives us his Thoughts on Viernes about the FBI raid, Abbott's Human Trafficking bus, and Beto's MF'in comments.
The Southern Baptist Convention is under federal investigation for its history of sexual abuse and cover-up.
