Texas Progressives

The awl bidness barons want you in West Texas to use treated "Produced" water, but at the same time, they also want legal indemnification.

Off the Kuff is ready for the big redistricting trial to begin.

SocraticGadfly says Cactus Ed Abbey would cringe about Texas population growth.

Dannie Goeb has finished crushing the Texas House. #fify Trib. 

WHOSE Ten Commandments is part of why the Tex-ass Lege's bill will surely be ruled unconstitutional like that in Louisiana — which, like Tex-ass, is under the purview of the Fifth Circuit. 

The Lege doesn't understand chromosomes 45 and 46, or that there is sometimes 47, sometimes just 45, or other issues.

I would love to see a constitutional amendment allowing a self-convened Lege session being assembled to override gubernatorial vetoes. (The current system also shows that, even before Strangeabbott, even before Tricky Ricky Perry, claims that Texas has "a weak governor system" weren't true.)

MAHA mental midgets deeply planting their flag in Austin is something I could have foreseen a full decade ago and why the idea that Austin is incredibly librul, or even leftist, is kind of laughable. Austin IS incredibly tech dudebro, broligarch, or whatever term you prefer. And like their California compatriots (many came from there, in fact), there's also a high degree of sexism.
