I was laid off today from the Washington Post’s campaigns team covering the midterms and 2028. I hear this is an important election year — and I want to cover it aggressively. If you’d like to work together, my DMs are open and you can email me at patrick.svitek@gmail.com.

@Hunt_Wx Howdy. Is @KVUE airing the Kimmel show returning tonight?

Good Tuesday morning! Close to 100 degrees today for Austin, and then a cold front on Wednesday brings a chance for some rain and then a little cool down for the back half of the work week into this weekend. #atxwx

@gardnerselby also notable that it caps out at about $300 million by 2032, less than a third what's needed.

Does this have a shot in the Texas Senate?

Memorable blistering by @StevenCheung . Now can you answer the transcripts question? mediaite.com/trump/trumps-c…

@Schwartz_Land @Hou_Landing Come to Austin for a meal dude.

@MaryEliseCos @TeamCornyn @KenPaxtonTX Hope you take time to fact-check the info -- context matters.

I was just wondering about her first election; thanks @BudKennedy

@kbrooksharper Your perspective will improve to readers' benefit.

home with a sick kid for the third time in 8 days in the last three weeks of session and its moments like these i'm telling you #txlege

The latest trend on the #txlege House floor: Members are using these extend-o-sticks to reach the buttons of their fellow members. No wonder these buttons keep “malfunctioning.”

Finding out your pal can buy your lunch because he won the lottery.

Willie Nelson is 92 years old today, but there has always been some question as to whether he was born on April 29 or April 30. Why the confusion? Because his birth certificate says April 30. According to Willie himself, in interviews and his 2015 autobiography “It’s a Long Story: My Life,” Willie wrote, "I was born before midnight on the 29th but it didn’t get registered in the county courthouse until the next day, the 30th. So I just do both days." Willie's mother or grandmother (accounts vary) apparently recorded it as April 29, and that’s the date he always claimed when filling out applications, forms etc ... In the end, I suppose, it doesn't really matter because Willie is timeless. Happy birthday, @WillieNelson !

Donald Trump is spooked by the new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Carney is a former central banker and the rumor is that on the phone Carney threatened to sell Canada's holdings of Americans bonds unless Trump stopped threatening Canada. That's apparently all it took.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

@James_Barragan When the rest of us rely on the rest of you to holler if something happens.

That time of session has started
