@James_Barragan Congratulations on this next chapter!

Bittersweet news: After almost four years, I'm leaving The Texas Tribune. My last day is next Friday. Thankful to all the sources that made stories possible and to the Tribune audience which is incredibly smart, thoughtful and engaged. It's been a pleasure to work here.

People in Austin give their hard-earned cash @KUT because they believe in supporting a non-profit, independent local newsroom. But if your reason is "I want this grackle doing the news on my chest," that works too. $10/month gets you both: Donate.KUT.org

Head to kut.org/live-updates/a… for updates all day on what’s happening. And join @KUT tonight starting at 6 for live results from Austin and across the country.

It’s Election Day. The Randalls at Brodie is once again the busiest polling location in my part of town. But remember, you don’t have to vote in your neighborhood! You can vote anywhere in the County. Check out the Travis County Elections website and look for GREEN locations.

Absolute legend. I learned so much about sports and newspapers and life working with @kbohls There’s truly no one like him. ❤️ Cheers to new adventures!

This is terrible news. If you’re able, please consider helping out this amazing family and keep them in your prayers.

I’ve seen a bunch of arrests since joining @AKMcGlinchy at the UT protest at around 2:50. I lost count at around 15. Police have been peeling people off the perimeter of the huddle at the middle of the lawn. @KUT

I’m at @UTAustin where pro-Palestinian protesters have returned to the lawn, where dozens were arrested last week. I see a few tents. UT police has issued an order for protesters to disperse.

Here is the video the @fox7austin cameraman was taking when DPS pulled him down: youtube.com/watch?v=FvdUc0… Here is the video of him from a bystander's POV. He is in a navy shirt and briefly steps off camera before being pulled down: youtube.com/watch?v=_CxYB7…

Incredible work from @KUT photojournalists who were out yesterday alongside radio reporters covering protests at @UTAustin. This photo from @MichaelMinasi is so powerful. kut.org/education/2024…

ULTIMATE I-35 WALKTHROUGH: Ever wonder exactly how TxDOT is planning to beef up the highway that runs through the middle of Austin? Here's a section-by-section guide. Brace yourself: construction is scheduled to start this year and last up to a decade. kut.org/transportation…

@JimVertuno Right there with you

OK Tracy Chapman singing at the Grammys WITH Luke Combs. I can now accept he’s not the devil. (I’ll still only listen to her version …).

How long have Austinites been missing the "Old Austin"? Turns out, more than a century. Here's a thread of news clips of some very nostalgic Austinites I gathered for @KUT. First up, a grad student in 2007 (1/🧵):

Amazing set of images from ⁦@photo_Brazziell⁩ Take a look and get inspired! statesman.com/picture-galler…

Hey #MachineHeads -- now that @KUT's podcast Growth Machine has wrapped, we'd love if you could take a survey about the podcast: utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d0… Thank you! And thanks again for listening. I never thought a podcast about public policy would be so popular.

@bypatrickgeorge @InsideEVs Congratulations!!
