βWhen we look at the numbers from around the state, I can tell you DFW is truly acting out,β @JasmineForUS Crockett says in Arlington. ββ¦Having a candidate whoβs a little bit different is bringing out people that are different.β

Working from Democratic activist Chris Tackett's early voting numbers here, Tarrant County voters under 30 chose the Democratic Party primary by a margin of better than 6-to-1. christackett.substack.com/p/tarrant-co...
The "poverty cosplay" is a brilliant description of Fort Worth. The lower the dive, the more likely you'll find CEOs there. Extra points if it's a cafe or BBQ joint or taqueria with no sign, bonus if it's in somebody's garage or home backyard.
!!! The wait to vote is nearly 1Β½ hours in west Tarrant County, nearly an hour at many locations. Polls close at 7 p.m. but if you're in line, stay in line.
Really nice story from CBS19's Auyana Aird on Opal Lee's path from Marshall to Fort Worth to Washington, D.C. youtu.be/0rqUvHtIsBE?... via @YouTube
John Cornyn's latest ad. Yikes
Some of these barbecue stories are just absurd. Pecan Lodge gets a story for cutting its BBQ brisket prices from $42/pound to $38/pound. Angelo's in Fort Worth is $22/pound. www.dallasnews.com/food/restaur...
In 1980, the Fort Worth Texans beat the "Miracle on Ice" team twice, battering goalie Jim Craig on the road. Irony: One of the last two players cut before the Olympics in 1980 was defenseman Jack Hughes, no relation.
Here's a @DallasNews story on young Ellen Weinberg of Plano, now Ellen Weinberg-Hughes and literally the mother of the U.S. Olympic team's gold medal victory

New podcast from the Quorum Reportβs Scott Braddock:
The future of the GOP is "on the line" in a primary now featuring a former Senator buying Epstein's ranch & a Republican turning a debate into a confessional about alcoholism, porn & infidelity. This show is π₯

Westover Hills Republican Bo French now says he doesnβt want to deport all American Indians, just the ones in the photo he reposted describing them as βthird world savages.β Not everyone reads the post that way.

Bo French urged the deportation of "third world savages."
Noting: The pastor who gave the invocation at new Democratic state Sen. @TaylorRehmetTXβs swearing-in today was Rev. @RyonPrice of Broadway Baptist β one of the pastors thrown out of Commissionersβ Court meetings by Republican Judge @TimothyOHare #txlege
Claudette Finley, the dean of Fort Worth restaurateurs as owner of Montgomery St Cafe for 40 years, has a birthday Friday. Sheβs 88. She only comes in sporadically, but go by and sign a card or tell her how much you love her little slice-of-small-town-Texas cafe. 2000 Montgomery St, open since 1949.
Now 46 years ago. The last two players cut from the βMiracle on Iceβ team were sent to the Fort Worth Texans, the only team to beat the U.S. team twice.
From Joe Rogan to Colbert, @jamestalaricoβs campaign has done as good a job managing a candidate rollout as I ever remember. There was more organic demand for Beto at first but Talaricoβs media seems to be earned, and it counters @JasmineForUS Crockettβs well-deserved TV fame. #txsen

This an example of awful political strategy. Judge OβHare gets to show his voters how heβs standing up to disorder. Regardless of party, it is beyond me how anyone could think outbursts and disorder at public meetings can help a cause. www.star-telegram.com/news/politic...
This is becoming almost a weekly lunch visit. I am so glad Westland Restaurant Group brought it back, and itβs open now in Willow Park and Eastland.
