“Rivers are self-healing, with time. Grief too changes—you never really 'move on,' but you move forward...eventually the hope breaks through, the two-steppers take to the dance floor, the actors take the stage, and the kayaks push off from the dock." texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

I've been writing about the GOP civil war in Texas on and off for fifteen years. Trump's much-belated finishing blow of John Cornyn is a watershed moment and I struggle to guess what the wider consequences are gonna be, well apart from the Senate race texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

“In the future, sympathetic biographers will have to assess how to frame the fact that one of Cornyn’s last acts before the axe fell was an effort to rename a trans-Texas highway the ‘Trump Interstate.’” —@cd_hooks on the what the pick means for Texas GOP texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
