This is very disturbing for me. Dustin Burrows has betrayed the Republican Party and all Republican voters in a way I've never seen before. First, he literally stole the speaker election from the Republican caucus, and then shortly after, he basically slapped Republican representatives in the face with the sham process to ram the Rules package through without discussion or debate. He told one representative that I know of that if he wanted a seat at the table, he wold have to sit down, be quiet, and do what he was told. Fortunately that representative said no thank you. I'm not ready to just let bygones be bygones. Unless Mr. Burrows is ready to apologize and ask forgiveness, (which he won't), I will not listen to what he has to say at convention. He can't just buy back favor with a large donation. And - yes - I'm aware that under his tenure, 43 RPT priority bills passed. That's great. But has anyone counted how many were left on the table? Pretty sure it's more than 43!

How did your local elections go? Grapevine Colleyville ISD lost their conservative majority.





I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…







Elisabeth and I are heartbroken to learn of the unexpected passing of Chad Hasty. Texas has lost a powerful voice for conservative truth, integrity, and common sense. Chad wasn’t just a broadcaster, he was one of the very best to ever cover the people, policy, and politics shaping the Texas Legislature and our state. He asked the right questions, gave fair room for debate, and, most importantly, he made sure Texans stayed informed. I’m especially grateful for the role Chad played in my own journey to and through the Texas House. Time and again, he offered me a seat at his microphone and the opportunity to speak directly to the people I serve. He believed in giving leaders a platform — and holding them accountable — and he did both with professionalism, respect, and a healthy dose of humor. West Texas feels a lot quieter today with the loss of his voice. We are deeply saddened and our prayers are with his family, his listeners, and all who knew him. He will be greatly missed.

NEW: Texas fracking tycoon Farris Wilks has for years been one of the GOP's most prolific donors. He gave +$100M and, with billionaire Tim Dunn, pulled the party to the far right. But recently, something happened: Wilks has quietly, all but vanished. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
