I spent LBJ Day with his daughter, Luci Baines Johnson.
I’m running for her father’s Senate seat to continue LBJ’s fight for education, healthcare, and economic opportunity for all.
I’m honored to be in this fight with Luci. In November, we’re going to win back her dad’s seat.

Why you should be worried about the crisis that Trump has precipitated in the treasuries market. What is the worst thing that could happen? A large-scale sell off and a collapse of the Treasury market as a functioning institution.

Suzanne Vega’s “Luka” peaks at #3 today in 1987. She said she once received a fan letter about it:
“Dear Suzanne,
Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it.
I thank God 4 U,
Prince”

A fast-growing town in Utah offered massive tax breaks -- in the hundreds of millions of dollars -- to Meta and other tech companies so they could build data centers.
Imagine residents' surprise, then, when they found out their property taxes would double or triple. www.sltrib.com/news/2026/08...

Data centers got tax breaks. Homeowners were asked to pay triple. Here’s how Eagle Mountain’s tax fight shook out.
The Utah County city walked back its first tax hike, but residents will still pay about double the old rate.

The OLC opinion "has more holes in it than a slice of Swiss cheese,” Charles Tiefer, professor emeritus at the University of Baltimore School of Law, told me. “It’s clearly a devious tactic to try to cover up the investigations into Trump’s corruption before they even get started.”
Experts told TPM that individuals that may be called before Congress may end up trying to rely on this OLC memo to get out of testifying or giving over documents.
