My Torts professor - who is so unbelievably inspiring - told us a heartbreaking, yet hopeful story tonight - then ended with these words:
“Freedom of expression is priceless . . . Without New York Times v. Sullivan - there is nothing left of Democracy.”

Congratulations to my friend and our newest State Senator from Tarrant County, Taylor Rehmet! I met Taylor years ago through labor organizing.
Don’t tell us what can’t be done in Texas. When we show up #TexasTough, we change the game. Today we proved what we’ve known all along: Texas is in play.

MAJOR UPSET ALERT: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has just been projected the winner of the Texas SD9 special election — flipping a district that went Trump +17 and hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1991.
Trump personally endorsed Leigh Wambsganss and spent days hyping this race… and still lost.

For some odd reason I decided to write down one thing I learn each day for 2026. So far I’ve written down 27 random things I’ve learned. I just learned that the same guy that played Mr. Dark in Something Wicked This Way Comes is the same person that played the High Sparrow in Game of Thrones. #HATM

My book cover art is by Titus Kaphar. Over a portrait of Washington, he shredded and nailed the runaway advertisement GW placed for Ona Judge after she fled from slavery in Philadelphia. It quite literally forces us to ask how we’d see Washington differently if we put slavery front and center.
