Ditto for the Dem stronghold of Travis County, which won't post early voting results until everyone in line has voted (and several polling sites still showing 50+ minute wait)

Christopher Hooks @cd_hooks 5d

Here's the crazy thing: All Democrats are ahead in early voting in Texas and we *do not have any early vote yet from Harris County,* the most populous blue county

1/ Incredible work by @TravisCountyTax: A couple of weeks after the state sent over a 32,000 backlog of voter registration applications & updates, @CeliaIsrael's office says it has processed them all, pulling in workers from other divisions "willing to work nights and weekends."

Maybe we should solve this problem by paying social workers and other under-valued professions better.

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/NmmAzhf

Federal agents who enforce the law are not above it. They cannot shoot a person and then refuse to explain what happened & why. Austin deserves a full, independent investigation into the ICE shooting of a man Sunday, the @statesman Editorial Board writes:

www.statesman.com ICE brought gunfire to Austin. It owes the public answers | Editorial Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was making a DoorDash delivery when he was shot. His family deserves answers, and Austin deserves an independent investigation, the Editorial Board writes.

It is shameful that Bo French took a joyful moment that united fans and used it to bully UT students and sow division. Texas Republicans must forcefully, clearly reject his bigotry, @statesman Editorial Board writes:

www.statesman.com No, Bo French. These UT students are not ‘the problem’ | Editorial Leaders of the Texas GOP cannot spend years stoking suspicion of outsiders, then act surprised when a candidate says the quiet part out loud, the Editorial Board writes.
