From the breaking news department. See this: DCCC Adds Texas’ 9th District to 2026 “Districts in Play.” The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has officially added Texas’ 9th Congressional District (TX‑09) to its 2026 “Districts in Play” list, signaling a push to win the GOP‑held seat amid rising voter frustration with Republican leadership. Why TX‑09…

I don’t need to say much about the Wild Card Series over the last couple of days. You saw it. It pretty much mirrored the disappointing season of 2026. When Joe Espada was named Astros manager after the 2023 season, he said he wanted to continue the team’s “winning culture.” A “winning culture” in my…

I was at the game yesterday. We looked like the 2026 Astros and not the Astros of this past weekend. The Astros boo birds spoke up in the first inning. See this from Yahoo Sports: The Houston Astros looked very much like a team that limped its way to a division title during their 6-3…

This family doesn’t get any sympathy from me. They shouldn’t get any from you either. See this from the Chron: A Honduran woman’s potential departure from Texas is forcing her conservative Bellaire family to confront a hard truth: President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown isn’t confined to Latino neighborhoods or work site raids.  Instead, it casts…

I was called this weekend by a cheating, crooked Ken Paxton aligned group conducting a survey of voters. They are behind, folks. They tested every lying, untruthful, negative message.

My old pal, former State Rep. Garnet Coleman left us a couple of days ago. He was one of the best to ever serve in the Texas Legislature. For three decades. Hard working, tenacious, passionate, savvy, thoughtful, and great political instincts. He studied and immersed himself in the issues of the day. I always respected…

State Rep. Gina Hinojosa rolled out a new ad this morning and she hits back and goes after MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott. See the featured photo. Good. The Chron has a story on Rep. Hinojosa on the campaign trail. See how the Chron story starts: Gina Hinojosa had a plea for the crowd that came…

The Republicans, who are now MAGA, have been running things in Texas for a long time now. MAGA incumbents are not running on their records. MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott – nope. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick – nope. Instead, they are running attack ads. It tells us a lot. I guess their records are not up…

Election Day is six weeks from today. _____ For the past couple of weeks or so, in his campaign ads, MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott has been telling us the state doesn’t have property taxes. Abbott rolled out an ad this morning accusing State Rep. Gina Hinojosa of voting to raise property taxes 40 times. Got…

On “What’s Your Point?” yesterday, the first two segments were about the property tax increase over at the Harris County Commissioners Court. Moderator Greg Groogan was leading the charge against the tax increase and hopes to get voters to remember this when early voting begins on Monday, October 19, which is four weeks from today.…
