Some personal news: Tomorrow I start a new job as legislative counsel at the Institute for Justice, where I will be helping their efforts to defend free speech, property rights and economic liberty. I'll be tweeting on those issues @LegeLawyer, and here for my usual ramblings!

What if cities stopped banning the simplest, most affordable kind of housing? @IJ is launching a new model bill to re-legalize single room occupancy (SROs) and shared living options that once provided millions of Americans with a place to call home. #SRO #singleroomoccupancy

@IJ SROs weren’t "blight". They were community. They were independence. They were the first rung on the housing ladder for millions. It’s time to bring them back. 👉 Watch this space for the launch of @IJ's ROOM Act. #Housing #ZoningReform #SROs #YIMBY

Before the housing crisis, before “affordable housing” programs and endless zoning debates, America had a simple, market-based solution for people who needed an affordable place to live: 🛌Single Room Occupancy housing, or SROs. A forgotten piece of our housing history. 🧵

In Texas, we don’t just win awards. We immortalize them in acrylic on canvas. I proudly present my official 89R SEVVIE portrait, masterfully rendered by the inspired @LauraAK_TX (a SEVVIE winner herself!) Long may the “Best #TxLege Influencer” reign. 🦁👑🦄 #SEVVIE #TxLege

Posing for my #SEVVIE winner portrait was so much fun. A bit stressful, because the lion was hungry and the unicorn wouldn't stay still. But fun, nonetheless. @LauraAK_TX sure can paint under pressure! 😂#txlege

I must admit, this #SEVVIE winner portrait took @3SeveralDays because @LegeLawyer was so excited he wouldn’t sit still. The unicorn and lion were excellent though. #txlege

It’s the attention to detail that truly elevates this piece - @LauraAK_TX perfectly captures my signature legislative drafting style (“blah blah… food trucks…”). My freestyle, beat poet lawyering couldn’t be contained at Lege Council, so I had to move to IJ 😂

Great news! Governor @GregAbbott_TX has signed HB2844, the Texas Food Truck Freedom Act! This bill, sponsored by @BrooksLandgraf and @LoisKolkhorst, creates a single statewide permit for food trucks, cutting bureaucracy while maintaining public safety! #txlege

A few thoughts as the Texas legislative session comes to an end, on what it known as “sine die”. Some solid successes for @IJ, with more work to be done next session (we never rest). Full “session in review” video to follow! #txlege

Glenn Greenwald@ggreenwald·26 May

Jake Tapper -- at the age of 56 and after 30 years in what one may loosely call "journalism" -- pretends to have just woken up and realized what is, in fact, the first axiom of Journalism 101: politicians and governments lie and journalists shouldn't blindly believe them (😲).

Many thanks to Rep. @BrooksLandgraf and Sen. @LoisKolkhorst for bringing food truck freedom to Texas! HB2844 creates a single statewide permit & inspection process for mobile food vendors, freeing small businesses from excess bureaucracy while maintaining public safety. #txlege

Food truck freedom is coming to Texas! HB2844 is heading to the governor’s desk. Creating a single statewide permit for mobile food vendors will free entrepreneurs from bureaucracy while maintaining public safety. Free the taco truck, save the world! @IJ #txlege
