Rubio confers with Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

“I didn’t vote for a wall. I wanted our border secure. He accomplished that.” --- Laura Allen, a rancher in the Texas Big Bend area who voted for Trump, quoted by the Associated Press expressing dismay after learning a vehicle barrier will cross her property. Idiot of the month?

Addressing the GOP mid-term convention in Dallas, Vance appealed to isolationist Republicans generally, and Charlie Kirk supporters particularly. He said he knew some were disappointed, but not to abandon the party. He seemed to dismiss unprovoked war against two countries as a mere "policy issue."

Museum CEO Mary Pat Higgins welcomes guests to a program about the WASP corps presented by Dr. Katherine Sharp Landdeck.

In the off chance you get one of these invites, go ahead and reserve, even if you don't intend on going. The RNC wouldn't offer free seats if they were confident they could fill the AAC. Nothing irks Trump like empty seats at his rallies!

As our climate warms, the 10 most destructive Texas wildfires by acreage have occurred in the last 48 fire seasons, with 9 of these 10 occurring in the past 20.

Congrats to the Dallas Wings for clinching a spot in the playoffs!You've come a long way this season.

Trump disapproval at historic low per Silver Bulletin average

The mercury hit 106 degrees at DFW airport Tuesday. The Dallas Morning News reports, "Solar provided between 35% and 45% of all electricity produced on the [Texas] grid on Monday and Tuesday and was producing as much as or slightly more than natural gas-fueled power plants."

Looks like a tropical storm will hit both New Orleans and Houston later this week. But it isn't forecast to reach hurricane strength.

FIFA fans from diverse nations and religious backgrounds joyfully mingling while wearing their colors was a beautiful site to behold. Yet here in North Texas, merely visiting the side of an opposing team can result in a deadly encounter. There is much we can learn from FIFA fans about sportsmanship.

In what one might initially presume to be an SNL skit, life imitates art.

"If once elected, and at a second or third election outvoted by one or two votes, he will pretend false votes, foul play, hold possession of the reins of government, be supported by the States voting for him...."

As global leaders look to tech advances to solve climate change, one leading idea involves capturing carbon pollution from the air and burying it underground forever. But while this concept may sound practical, there is no conceivable way it can work. Here's why 👇 w/ @drilledmedia.bsky.social

As we approach America's 250th birthday, I have a simple proposition to bring our country together. Let's amend the proposed Save Act to have the same ID requirements for voting to apply to purchasing and carrying a firearm. There would be 60 votes in the Senate. Come on, America. We can do this!

Had to! "So we sailed on to the sun 'Til we found a sea of green" 🎵🎼🎶

As the Karmelo Anthony murder trial proceeds, my thoughts are on this absurd notion that weapons don't kill people. Like we'd land the 101st Airborne swinging their fists. The next time someone tells you that, ask why he locks up his guns. The weapon is why both aren't attending college today.

More contradictory messaging from the administration on Iran: After repeated boasts of having destroyed Iran's navy, the AP reports Trump's ceasefire deal calls for Iran to remove all mines from the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days. How would Iran remove mines if its navy were truly destroyed?

How do we interpret a loss of population in Dallas County with an increase in the urban core? Is this a fluke or a longer term trend? I have some ideas, but I'd first like to hear yours.

@ridewithdata.org I have a letter in today's Dallas Morning News on the proposed Fair Park Streetcar. While not workable in its current configuration, it could be fixed with a simple tweak. Nothing in this proposal would impact the eventual goal of incorporating the M-Street line:

Georgia is suffering a one-two punch from the climate. First, Hurricane Helene leaves dead timber in the forest. Then, the warmest March on record fuels wildfires:

This documentary is about the vulture capital group which submitted an unsolicited low-ball offer to acquire the Dallas Morning News in autumn 2025. Dallas dodged a bullet!

The U.S. has begun to look like 1970s Italy

The Pentagon is being tight-lipped, but it's clear to me this was a refueling accident. You have two planes flying together at 600 mph, so close you can run a drop a refueling hose from one to the other. Mid-air refueling has always been high-risk. These guys are heroes.

This is a case where the jury got it right. The 1st and 2nd amendments don't mix. Ken's rule: Don't show up at a firing range with political opinions, and never take a weapon to a peaceful protest.

The 10 best and worst foreign policy decisions in U.S. history

The difference between the two parties is once again on full display. Despite a heartbreaking loss, Jasmine Crockett immediately returns to Washington to represent her constituents. Rep. Crockett, you waged a clean campaign and your constituents should be proud. We haven't seen the last of you.

Welcome to the world of voter suppression.

If it appears Democrats will win the Senate, I predict Supreme Court justices Thomas, Alito, or both, will announce their retirements this fall.
