By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

🌈 Happy Pride Month, Houston!
This month, we join with the Mayor's LGBTQ+ Advisory Board to celebrate diversity, and all the contributions members of our community make throughout the city. Houston is proud to be a place where everyone belongs. We look forward to seeing you later this month at the Pride Parade.

Just an angry old man who torched his entire legacy last week.
Sad way to end a long career.

🔴 Sen. John Cornyn stands by calling Ken Paxton a “crook,” says he hasn’t spoken to Paxton since losing the primary and has no plans to meet with or speak to him.

@HoustonChron Chronicle does some journalism now that she's safely lame duck.
English
County Judge Lina Hidalgo was recorded as being absent from 1,808 motions in 2025, according to the Chronicle's analysis. That's more than double the combined absences for all four of her colleagues, and the equivalent of missing one out of every five motions.

@cactusncookies Can of Copenhagen (not the long-cut), cup of black coffee, 29 gallons of diesel.

I’ll be going to a Buc-ee’s for the first time this week. What should I get?

@DBCooperTX Great reminder. Dereliction of duty. Goes straight to performance in office. They subvert the system when it doesn't go their way.

Reminder that Gina Hinojosa and James Talarico both fled Texas to subvert democracy in 2021 and 2025.

@LASimmonsTX146 I see it as a rescue from the woke, racist, public union, DEI authoritarians who have controlled Texas schools for too long.
English
I hope everyone sees this for what it is. Houston ISD, Beaumont ISD, Ft Worth ISD and potentially Austin ISD under state control.
The dismantling of public education couldn’t be more blatant.
Houston Chronicle@HoustonChron
The Texas Education Agency has rejected Austin Independent School District’s bid for extra time to improve student performance at three North Austin middle schools next academic year, setting the stage for a state takeover of the entire school system. bit.ly/4fO9gEV

@DBCooperTX Well said Dan. It's not his faith either, which seems misguided to me, but that's between him and God.
English
I don’t care if Talarico is a vegan or has a girlfriend. I care that he has supported open borders, DEI, gender mutilation for minors, men in women’s sports, defunding police, abortion, strict gun control and universal healthcare. Those are disqualifying for a Texas Senator.

@davidaxelrod Just the one photo of her? And no social media profile? Interesting.

@TheBrancaShow If I'm an American citizen, and I have to follow the rules, then so do you. End of story.

"There's zero reason to force people who have already legally spent years building a life here to leave the country to apply for a green card."
There's excellent reason.
It helps keep them OUT OF MY COUNTRY.
Senator Mark Kelly@SenMarkKelly
There's zero reason to force people who have already legally spent years building a life here to leave the country to apply for a green card. These aren’t the hardened criminals the Administration says it goes after. It's just making life harder for people who are already contributing to our communities and takes workers and businessowners away from building up our economy.

@wendydavis @jamestalarico Correct. Houston Chronicle panties increase in wad as subscriptions plummet.
English
Never before - someone correct me if I'm wrong - has the Houston Chronicle come out with a general election endorsement so quickly after the primary. 🔥 @jamestalarico

In the Senate contest between Ken Paxton and James Talarico, both Republicans and Democrats should prefer a servant leader over a self-serving crook, writes the Editorial Board. houstonchronicle.com/opinion/endors…

@TalksPolitics24 @APumpjack Agree with you on Clinton. Good President, should not have been impeached. Trump is not a racist, but Biden and Obama are certainly racists if you just need to check that box.
English
@spring_surf @APumpjack Tara Reade was in no way credible. Clinton was likely a rapist and was definitely a cad. He single handedly overshadowed any good he did in his presidency with his actions with Lewinski.
Trump is also a racist and corrupt.
English
When you keep voting for and supporting low character candidates like Paxton and Trump just because they’re part of your political tribe, it starts to say more about your own character failings than it does the bad people you’ve voted for.
Dan McLaughlin@baseballcrank
Character still matters quite a lot, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. That said, there are plenty of times you have no good choices. Those times don't let you off the hook from the hard moral weighing of the stakes - as I walked through in 2022 nationalreview.com/2022/11/why-pr…
English
@APumpjack Oh she's every bit as credible as E Jean Carrol my friend, and 10x Blasey Ford. But you believe them both. Am I right Pump Jackwad?
English
@spring_surf The Putin loving/Russia defecing Tara Reade wasn’t credible. Try again.
And I didn’t vote for Clinton, so go whatabout somewhere else.
English
@PaulJacobsMedia @jamestalarico As Christians we are admonished not to judge another man's faith. God will do that. This is politics, and one has nothing to do with the other.
English
I’m not a Christian so MAGA needs to explain to me exactly why @jamestalarico isn’t a “good Christian?”
Is it because he’s a (gasp) Democrat?
Jacob Perry 🇺🇲 🇺🇦@RealJacobPerry
The new "You have to vote for Paxton because Talarico isn't a good Christian" argument is just absolutely extraordinary.

The @houstonchron editorial board endorses in the US Senste race: The choice is obvious. Both Republicans and Democrats should prefer a servant leader over a self-serving crook. houstonchronicle.com/opinion/endors…

English
Just to be clear, I’m not making a case for supporting Talerico in Texas. I’m calling out the hypocrisy of so called Christians in Texas who will defend grave and unrepentant sin in a candidate as long as he has an R next to his name and Trump’s endorsement. I wouldn’t vote for either.
