🚨 BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge just HALTED the destruction of Big Bend. This is a massive victory for the landowners, local communities, and everyday Texans who stood up to protect one of our state's greatest treasures. The fight isn't over, but today, the people won.

100%, I call this information inequality 👇 “Paywalls are toll roads to a gated community, one that the average American cannot afford to enter in an era of inflated prices and deflated expectations. Democracy relies on an informed citizenry. Pay-to-play democracy is no democracy at all”

"Trump's first term has been memory-holed. His dirty deeds are treated as discrete acts instead of a continuum of crime with recurring players. His prior decades of illicit activity have vanished from the public domain: because there is no public domain." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/gutting-th...

Y'all, today is, of course, Juneteenth. I have written a ton over the years about this celebration and its historical roots in Texas. The best thing I ever wrote was this. texashighways.com/travel-news/... I hope y'all take the time to read it, to study the photos, and to ponder the meaning.

texashighways.comThe History of Juneteenth in PhotosJunteenth commemorates the issuance of General Order No. 3 in Galveston, informing enslaved people of their freedom and the end of the Civil War.

hatchmag.comTrump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest ServiceLate Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a “reorganization.” An execution.

Crucially, the One Big Beautiful Bill did not include the provision that spared La Lomita, Santa Ana, or any other sensitive location—meaning this new tranche of funding is not explicitly subject to the restrictions that previously shielded these places.

Our top story: The riverine border between Texas and Mexico is 1,254 miles long, a distance too great to be understood by those who’ve never seen it. This leaves room for interpretation, so the river becomes many things to many people.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2016...

newrepublic.comMAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken SuitA good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

There are 8 million registered Dems in Texas. Wouldn't it be wild if failed lawyer Cornyn got a message from every one of them about the travesty of involving FBI in GOP political scare tactics? D.C. Office Phone: 202-224-2934 Austin Phone: 512-469-6034

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn announced that the FBI has granted his request to investigate and locate the Texas Democratic lawmakers who left the state in an attempt to stop the passage of the GOP-proposed congressional maps.

bit.lyCornyn says FBI will help locate absent Texas Democrats, but scope of feds’ role unclearThe Republican senator, who is facing a tough primary challenge, previously asked FBI Director Kash Patel for the agency’s help in tracking down the House lawmakers.

I spent all morning talking with so many Dallas friends with so many connections to those lost or missing in the Hill Country floodwaters. That includes my son's pediatrician, whose group took care of three of the girls killed or presumed dead. So I wrote this. www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm...
