Howdy, Texas. I'm getting plugged back in as the new regional editor for the @TexasTribune. We're looking to tell the stories of Texans throughout the state, but especially in and around Lubbock and Lufkin where my reporters are based.

@sbellsnyder @HEB I made my own chili, but dare I say with beans. LOL

This pretty much covers it, right? @HEB #txlege #WinterStorm2026

Last fall, I had the chance to spend some time in the Rio Grande Valley, and I met a group of young conservatives who are working overtime to make sure their party doesn't lose ground and expands. Here's a little bit of their story. texastribune.org/2026/01/15/sou…

1/ Quick update in the Ken Paxton divorce case: Looks like the woman at the center of the alleged affair is also getting divorced — and, like Paxton, her divorce records have also been sealed. That case is filed in Louisiana. Paxton's case is here. #txlege

A big welcome to our new boss.

@LoewyLawFirm FYI … wacobridge.org our first hires announced here

The Tribune was supposed to open a Waco news outlet in 2025 but I haven't seen any information on that.

Another devastating loss for the @TexasTribune Consider the brain drain: E Ramshaw to 19th Svitek to WAPO Ramsey to the beach Evan Smith to the Jobs Empire Barragan to TV Downen to a Billionaire-owned relic Sad to see #txlege

@JoshPrywes @LoewyLawFirm And earlier this year we had a fun story from RGV about this donut shop owner and Trump texastribune.org/2025/01/29/don…

@JoshPrywes @LoewyLawFirm I manage a team of reporters who live in Lubbock, Odessa, Lufkin and McAllen. Just today my reporter in Odessa published this story about the measles outbreak with The AP. texastribune.org/2025/03/04/wes…

@JoshPrywes @LoewyLawFirm My east Texas reporter had this story on school choice repercussions texastribune.org/2025/02/25/luf…

@JoshPrywes @LoewyLawFirm Last week we published this story about the annivsary of the largest wildfire in state history. texastribune.org/2025/02/28/tex…

I will forever be grateful I had the chance to fulfill a dream and make reporter’s notebooks. Even if it was short lived.

@KingMinos777 @ColleenZenk @YandR_CBS Can we talk about the Moira-fication of Nikki Newman?

Good luck to the other soaps, trying to compete with this level of pure theater. You'll need it! #YR ☘️

Your favorite mental health reporter here checking in from Bexar County where I will be watching for voting poll complications and safety. If you have any concerns feel free to reach out.

@SenHudak I’m so old when I joined X it was called Twitter. 😂

@NicGarcia Where did those traditions start?

I have two traditions on #ElectionDay: I only write in purple ink and an extra long workout.

The @TexasTribune partnered with public radio stations (@keranews, @houpublicradio and more) @FortWorthReport and others to bring this survey of Texas voters from across the state. texastribune.org/2024/11/05/tex…

@JessicaHuseman I watched the Great British Bakeoff. It actually helped a little

Anyone else get so full of nervous energy last night that they vacuumed their entire house, repotted four plants and organized your desk twice? Just me?

@_Case1999 I’m so far behind — what is the special event they’re going to celebrate as part of the 13,000th episode
