The State Bar of Texas fined and gave a probated suspension to Starr County DA Gocha Ramirez for his attempt to prosecute for murder a woman doing a home-brew abortion. Cue the wingnut dogwhistles about the state bar.
SocraticGadfly has a roundup of duopoly and third-party/independent presidential thoughts.
Federal judge David Ezra hit the pause button on the unconstitutional SB4, pushed on the House side by my legiscritter, lawyer David Spiller. Above all, he rejected the idea that Texas is being "invaded" by Ill Eagles in any legal sense. At the Monthly, Forrest Wilder says the border crisis is the best thing that happened to Strangeabbott. The Fifth Circuit quickly reversed, but paused that a week for the Biden Administration to appeal to SCOTUS.
Ivan Cantu is the latest possibly innocent man executed by Texas.

And, a late primary thought: As seen in the San Antonio Current, via Kuff, Biden, more than "uncommitted," had an expressly pro-Palestinian candidate among his Texas opposition. I'm not a Doink, but if I had known more about the platform of Armando Perez-Serrato in advance, I would have publicized him. As I told the person quote-tweeted at the end of the piece, per SAC, the real question is what will the likes of Perez-Serrato do in November?
