Sudden move to encrypt law enforcement radios in Brazos County raises concerns about transparency, public safety News outlets and other groups fear this will do the opposite of what agencies say encryption is intended to prevent: confusion and uncertainty.

This is just wrong, no transparency, affecting the public to real time situations, wrong wrong wrong!

This is my New Year’s resolution, to recommend my county vote in a groundwater district for Washington County, Texas, it’s time to put it up to voters, population growth and extra demand warrants it.

I say the entire week of Thanksgiving should be a holiday, free of work and everyday pressures of life. Time will always be there, we or our loved ones on the other hand may not be. Take the time to make the memories, and take your time about it too.

Watching Lonesome Dove on this lazy Sunday. Movie is great classic in the western genre. Thank you Mr. Larry McMurtry

Huisache control

This landowner with technical and financial assistance treated the highly invasive Huisache plant. For now it looks good, landowner has the upper hand today, but you can not negate annual maintenance going forward. Along with grazing management, let grass compete with invasive plants.

Great field visit today with landowner, inspected completed cross fence, built above and over our specifications. This will allow for livestock to be rotated and grasses a chance to rest and recover.

Social Security change in 2026 may impact retirement age. Here's what to know. A decades-old Social Security rule is set to push the full retirement age to a new high.

Reading things like this make me ill. The people in charge do not care or don’t have a clue of what the average American wants, which is to retire at a reasonable age. Why do these people think it’s ok to keep pushing the retirement age back?

Occurred on campus of Texas A&M

On this date, 26 years ago in College Station, TX an unfortunate accident occurred during construction of annual bonfire, a longstanding tradition of the university. God comfort those that perished and their families as well. Rest in God🙏🏼

These services each agency provides helps real people who in turn help other people. Get it out of your head that government workers do no good, I disagree!

This government shutdown has caused a lot of unnecessary harm to federal employees and the people they provide services to. I’ve been a federal employee for 21 years and this one is tough to recover from. Stop treating us like a door mat and START to respect the services we provide to America!

Republicans trash Tuberville’s ‘self-serving’ $500,000 shutdown lawsuit deal: ‘This is outrageous’ "You can’t self-deal like this—especially not by weaponizing a government shutdown."

Shameful and despicable. This is what they want to do with hard working Americans tax dollars. The DOJ was just doing their job.

I agree, let them race!

Sorry no candy distribution this year. Can’t afford it, I’m a furloughed government employee. Hopefully things will change soon.

These marshals need more and better training, most of them are inexperienced and doing it for a quick buck, nothing wrong with that but they need more training/experience so nobody gets hurt!

Open up the goddamn government, I got shit to do!

Cute

If race was this past June -Aug there wouldn’t have been a heat hazard, it’s been an unusually hot and dry October here in Texas, so much for Fall like temps🥴

Boomers please sit this one out, yall have already reaped the benefits of a serving government and made it to retirement it’s not time to blow it all up just because.

Ok Washington DC, I believe it’s time both sides come together and hash out some sort of deal. Government workers need to get back to work to support themselves and their families and more importantly the public they serve day in and day out.

People want to see men on the edge of disaster and or glory, after all these drivers and teams are getting well compensated. Also for me the sport has become to expensive the middle to lower class can’t afford to attend an event. But I believe this is what F1 wants.
