Unfortunately, I saw that ad run this morning during the local news. I assume it’s the same ad because it’s the same allegation.

When our last kid was learning to drive, I tried to get myself a manual shift again. Very little was available where I am, and I ended up with a hybrid, which I love for the gas mileage…but it’s not nearly as satisfying as shifting.

This is the problem! Angela Paxton’s POS husband does not need to be in office for any party. Keeping a POS in office for the “seat” instead of electing someone for their public service, ideas, policies, and integrity is how we ended up with so many POS in office now.

“It’s not the people — it’s the seat,” Ms. Paxton said in the speech, which she later posted on YouTube. “Because we have more control over that seat and the future when we control the seat — when it’s still in the family, even if we’re mad at them.”

I wish these incredibly wealthy companies would utilize their AI to come up with ways to build data centers with renewable energy, native plantings around the building, low water usage, and pleasing architecture. If AI is so smart, find a way to make data centers good additions in communities.

In Texas here—after news broke that thousands of voter registrations were not processed last year, it turns out our college kid appears to be in that group. She will register again today. If you know a college kid in Texas, have them check their voter status and make a plan to vote.

I keep seeing headlines about this being a “sale.” I see reports, though, that say we are paying for it. What am I missing? How are we selling if we are paying? Is this like Mexico building the wall? (Although, in hindsight, that might have been a good investment for them.)

Texans: Make sure you are registered to vote. Being on the voter suspense list does not mean your voter registration has been purged. It simply means that local officials need an updated address before October 5th – the voter registration deadline in Texas.

Maureen Dowd described it well in the NYT:

It's crazy to think about Donald Trump outrunning anything.
But in legal terms, the president is an Olympic-class sprinter. He breaks the law so fast that the law is left in his orange dust.
Trump is an outlaw. And our system was not built for an outlaw in the Oval.
