I went on a rant just now and I told my husband in a very loud tone: THEY NEED TO JUST HOLD THE LINE AND QUIT THINKING IT'S 1960 OR SOMETHING. SAM RAYBURN IS GONE. THERE IS NO NEGOTIATING. I'm a delight.

Can the trees stop having sex now, please? I just sneezed like 10 times in a row.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

I have feelings about this but I have been doing many things today and cannot.

Dalfen Industrial has a Dallas office, and its CEO, Sean Dalfen, lives in Dallas.

Ahead of today’s meeting: It’s been three months since the Dallas City Council commissioned a report to guide its decisions about City Hall. The price tag already has people howling. www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...

Ahem. www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...

I keep writing about and reading these stories about ICE, and today I was reminded of a story I wrote several years ago. It was about a family - a widowed woman and her three sons - who moved from Mexico.

I think I could be president.

The one thing movies about journalism got right was capturing our deep and abiding love of sensible pants and free cake.

The mountain cedar is killing me in my face y’all.

I had this really great moisturizer I love and it smells amazing and is so light and perfect, but I cannot justify spending $28 for a carmex-sized jar of it.

This.

Guys what? “Denmark's military says its arctic command forces evacuated a crew member of a U.S. submarine off the coast of Greenland for urgent medical treatment.” The same Greenland we want to send a hospital ship to? That Greenland? www.npr.org/2026/02/22/n...

OK I've had my head down working on three big stories so I don't understand why we're sending a *checks notes* hospital ship to Greenland? Did I miss something or is this just as moronic as it sounds?

Maybe I’m asking too much but shouldn’t the judge like, know that?

Oh hey 3 of my stories should probably need to be published Monday NBD right?

Holy cannoli y’all. The city hall report is in. And it’s … something.

*Taylor Sheridan pulling a slot machine arm* "Ok, we got... Kurt Russell... as a... Fire Chief in... Paducah, Kentucky" Paramount Exec: Sure whatever, here's $40,000,000. All of our parents: Prairie of Flames is the best show on TV

In October 2024, the Georgia secretary of state’s office launched an investigation after receiving numerous reports from residents across several counties saying they’d received partially prefilled absentee ballot applications from Musk’s America PAC. trib.al/n6hAZOC

Oh I forgot, we're getting RedBall in Dallas in June. www.dmagazine.com/micropost/da...

My last story of the week, knock on wood.

BREAKING: DOJ to investigate Supreme Court for mortgage fraud.

Having an almost 15-year-old is kind of this weird window into things. Last night he was telling me about Andrew Tate and I had to bite my tongue to just wait for him to finish the thought, because my first instinct was ...

Also when you read this imagine some Ken Burns documentary music with a violin playing in the background, like I'm writing a dispatch to everyone I love.

This week I have investigated shenanigans with ICE, Dallas City Hall, the governor's campaign, and the possum under my shed that is driving Loretta crazy. I also interviewed two opera singers and an urbanist. I keep forgetting to eat lunch.

Chat, is Santa Fe, New Mexico, a day trip from Dallas?

I know they think he looks strong or something here but its giving "I clog the White House toilets with torn up briefings."

So now Paxton is suing a chest binder manufacturer.

this is why it's imperative to make the whole project politically toxic. cut off the money, and you cut off the camps. so imo we should work to end this before 2029 by pushing back on facilities wherever possible. detention camps have their own gravitational and financial pull on society and warp it

Oh man

Oh, I thought the other lady was going to put us in a war.

Do presidents have diplomatic immunity when they visit other countries? I'm asking because I wonder what's to stop another country investigating the Epstein stuff from you know, arresting Trump the next time he's in the area.

Whelp...never using an in-room coffee machine in a hotel again

Has anyone done this to any other Nate Sheets signs in Dallas? I’ve only seen this one so far.

Happy falcon sex hat day.

I did the leading off post for tomorrow on the website, and it's full of little news nuggets that might not have caught your attention, and some that definitely didn't because they haven't really been covered.

It makes sense that Rick Perry endorsed John Cornyn because they both failed meats.

How it started …. www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...

I do wonder how much stuff we’ll see the White House walk back between now and November as the polling continues to look bad. But does anyone really think they wouldn’t resurrect this stuff if they keep the House and Senate?

Co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration tells me everything I need to know.

If all those school districts that pretzeled themselves trying to serve their students while going along with the directive had held the line, they wouldn't have needed to pretzel at all.

I think some people that are politicians and elected officials are finding that saying shit is much easier than doing shit.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

I saw a post in the Dallas subreddit about muscle worship and I was like, 'oh, new church trend?' Then I opened the post and no, not new church trend. Def not new church trend. I was envisioning a church for people who work out a lot. But then I realized that's just CrossFit.

I wrote about the city's proposed community cat ordinance just so I could re-share @reinhart.bsky.social's story about Leftovers, the mayor of Eighth Street. www.dmagazine.com/micropost/da...

Is that really the logo? LOL

Paxton is very concerned about children whose parents listen to them and then make sure they have access to medical treatment, but not very sick children whose parents are not allowed medicine because they're at Dilley.
