War in the Middle East is good for the Texas oil and gas business, even if it’s bad for American consumers. Here's why what happens next could lead to inflation and recession. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col... #txlege @houstonchronicle.com

Trump to endorse in GOP U.S. Senate runoff, expects other candidate to drop out After months of silence, President Donald Trump said he would endorse in GOP runoff between U.S. Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Trump is about to endorse John Cornyn, and based on past behavior, I'm betting Paxton will take whatever deal the president offers to step aside. #Txlege www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/ele...

MRFF Inundated with Complaints of Gleeful Commanders Telling Troops Iran War is “Part of God’s Divine Plan” to Usher in the Return of Jesus Christ “This morning our commander opened up the combat readiness status briefing by urging us to not be “afraid” as to what is happening with our combat operations in Iran right now. He urged us to tell our...

Zealot commanders on 50 U.S. bases are telling troops to celebrate because "Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” the Military Religious Freedom Foundation reports. www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/2026/03/mrff...

Tomlinson: Oil billionaires back a hateful politician for Railroad Commissioner Texas oil billionaires are backing Republican Railroad Commission candidate Bo French and his hate speech to regulate their industry.

Oil billionaires are backing the most hateful politician in Texas, who is running for an office most voters don’t understand. If Republicans nominate him, Texas could soon have an openly racist white supremacist in statewide office. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col... @houstonchronicle.com

Tomlinson: Texans don’t prejudge Christians for scandals. What about Muslims? Texans know that not all Christians are pedophiles, and should show the same respect to Muslims and stop anti-Islam bigotry.

Texans tolerate a lot of bad behavior by Christian pastors without prejudging Christians. Yet Texas Republicans in tight elections this year shamefully promote bigotry and discrimination against Muslims because it polls well. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col...

Trump voters expected him to improve the economy. His administration is doing the opposite, feeding inflation and hurting affordability. @houstonchronicle.com www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col...

Novelist Sarah Bird: Friends ask whether I'm scared to protest. Here's why I go. Novelist Sarah Bird remembers protesting Vietnam — and what happened when her Air Force dad found out.

My friend Sarah Bird wrote something amazing about protests, the military and patriotism. Y'all should read it.

All Americans owe a debt to the demonstrators in Minnesota, especially the two who made the ultimate sacrifice. They stood up for the rule of law, the United States’ most precious possession.

Have y'all signed up for my weekly Tomlinson's Take newsletter? Here's a sample: How Democratic hopefuls for U.S. Senate gave a master class in democracy, and how half of college students attend a university that censors professors, classes and books. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col... #txlege

Brown graphic with a quote written: "The ICE agents dragged me out of the restaurant and put me into a headlock on the ground. I repeated, 'I'm a citizen, I have an ID.' The officer kept saying, 'That don't matter, that don't matter.'" The quote is attributed to M.H., ACLU of Minnesota client and Minneapolis resident challenging ICE's unlawful actions

M.H. is a U.S. citizen, and each time he asked the ICE agents who unlawfully detained him if they could loosen his handcuffs, the officers squeezed them tighter.

We're suing the Trump administration on behalf of everyone brutalized by federal agents’ reckless and illegal tactics in Minneapolis.

Austin A-S columnist blasts Paxton's anti-DEI order issued perversely on MLK Jr. Day. Paxton threatens private businesses who use various programs like mentoring, diversity training, or try to recognize the culture of the community surrounding their business. Paxton runs your business, not you.

Neither am I.

By issuing his sweeping, illogical denunciation of DEI, Ken Paxton is “wrapping the Constitution around a Klansman’s robe,” writes the fearless @cltomlinson.bsky.social link.houstonchronicle.com/view/634b1a4...

Tomlinson: AG Ken Paxton’s DEI opinion twists the Constitution and reality Attorney General Ken Paxton’s legal opinion blasting DEI twists the Constitution, interferes with the private sector's attempts to combat bigotry.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton may try to wrap the U.S. Constitution around a Klansman’s robe, but the white hood still shows. His legal opinion banning all DEI, anti-racism and anti-misogyny programs in Texas is ambitious and wrong. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col... #txlege #civilrights

Ernst Röhm wore it better.

New genre of Aggie joke just dropped.

Just to get the party started: Underwriters say the reactors must be self-insured because "Acts of Aggie" aren't covered under any known insurance policy.

Tomlinson: Texas A&M has big plans for new nuclear reactors in College Station Aggies have big plans for small reactors at nation’s largest nuclear program. The Texas A&M campus at College Station could see multiple experimental reactors built over the next decade.
