The Trump admin is using a lie about San Antonio's (now closed) Migrant Resource Center to withhold funds for the city. It has implications far beyond the $13.2 million owed.
Proud of our Opinion colleagues at the Statesman for giving voice to free speech and due process. Strong editorial here:
A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office on Friday to cover President Trump’s sit-down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/m...
"Sid Miller is like your hokey uncle at Thanksgiving, regaling you with stories about how he once peed on an electric fence and lived to tell about it." Probably not the best person for medical advice/health policy. www.expressnews.com/opinion/edit...
Our Ed Board opposes vouchers as bad policy, but it's also a political gift for Democrats and public education advocates who can go on the offensive. Vouchers open the door to eventually regulate private schools, and to launch schools free of GOP legislative and SBOE interference. More here:
"Flips the Script." Not a time for euphemism. How about "Lies," NYT? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...
Humor helps.
This may be the only time that Mother Teresa and Ken Paxton have shared a sentence: "As far as it is from Texas’ capital to its westernmost tip, it is an unbridgeable distance from Mother Teresa to Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has thrust this nonprofit into the Texas spotlight." Our editorial:
Vittoria Elliott Leah Feiger Feb 7, 2025 2:47 PM A US Treasury Threat Intelligence Analysis Designates DOGE Staff as ‘Insider Threat’ An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”
NEW: An internal email obtained by WIRED from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately."

seems relevant ....
The implications of the Texas attorney general's case reach much further than the religious freedom of one shelter in West Texas.

Ken Paxton is using immigration politics to trample religious liberty. His legal pursuit of Annunciation House in El Paso has immense consequences for Texas -- and not just for faith-based organizations. Our editorial for this Sunday's paper breaks it down.
Discussion about Musk getting the keys to the federal kingdom has, for me at least, felt a bit like the movie, "Look Up." So ... Look up! Here are just some of our opinion team's concerns.
Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now
Screenshot from an article. "Quote of the day: 'It’s the richest person in the world taking away from the poorest people in the world,' one USAID official told Playbook. 'People will die from this — like thousands, if not hundreds of thousands.'"

Trump got rolled here and almost no one seems to have noticed.
Gabbard and RFK are dangerously unqualified: www.expressnews.com/opinion/edit...
Data on the CDC's website are being removed to comply with the Trump administration’s ongoing attempt to scrub federal agencies of any mention of gender, DEI, and accessibility, @katherinejwu reports: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi... @theatlantic.com
"We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications."
Across San Antonio, school districts, educators and teachers’ unions are bracing for potential immigration raids under President Donald Trump’s recent reversal of a policy limiting arrests at schools, hospitals and places of worship. bit.ly/4hhqybz
If you think DeepSeek is some kind of Sputnik moment, it seems like not the best time to freeze grants and attack research universities
Fabulous commentary from Omar Valerio-Jiménez explaining our history of mass deportations, linking the past to the present climate of fear:
Since Trump said he would make these pardons, I'm not surprised. But I have wondered if voters really thought through the implications of the election, or perhaps many people just don't care as so much of it can feel remote or inconsequential to the daily grind, even if it isn't.
