No surprise - but GOP Texas Railroad Commission nominee Bo French is spreading an anti-Semitic AI image of Democratic nominee Jon Rosenthal in his recent fundraising efforts. Sick, but par for the course for Bo French. More: tinyurl.com/yvz83x8r Vote AGAINST hate this fall, y'all.

Rural Texans are beginning to realize that the Republican undermining of their local control has left them at the mercy of data centers and power transmission lines - both of which encroach on their private property rights. More: tinyurl.com/yvz83x8r
