Houston, Texas appellate attorney with side interests in progressive politics and making the world a better place
So I'm running to bring a Democrat back to the 14th Court. Hopefully, the scary political case will never come there--but we need Democrats just in case. As a full-time appellate lawyer, I'm the right one for that job.

I hope you'll support me. Again: www.adams-hurta.com (full website in progress)

This is a boring court jurisprudentially but a weird one politically. We elect partisan judges in Texas. The 14th Court was majority Democratic two years ago, but because of uneven term timing it is now 100% Republican.

I don't need to tell Bluesky what dangers lie in that fact.

See, that's what I SHOULD have said.

Out of curiosity, are you not including TX18 in your first table because it's an outlier (28.5-point shift, if I did my arithmetic right!), or some other reason?

Like, they're definitely going to issue a ruling before Monday's candidate filing deadline, right?

Our toddler painted some Shabbat candlesticks at day care earlier this year, and we lit them one Friday night without thinking that these wooden things were clearly not meant for real use. 🙃

Oh, I see you've only had the pile of corn syrup goo pecan pie and not the good pecan pie

Ok I am categorizing you as the exception to the rule unless I see evidence otherwise, lol

Huh! I don't like butter pecan ice cream and yet I love pecan pie.

Given pecans in chocolate...have you ever had a chocolate pecan pie?

Ok this sounds like you have a problem with pecans specifically lol

And yet, you still have to be careful buying a grocery store pie!

Store-bought pecan pies are often bad because they are just a pile of goo with a thin pecan layer on top. That can barely even be considered pecan pie.

I'm so glad I watched this for the first time as an adult, with an adult.

And yet.

I had seitan barbecue on my wedding for the non-meat eaters. And from a pretty good Texas barbecue joint! So I'm sure it can be arranged; the question is if it's worth it.
