His memory is fading. This Austin-area woman is trying to keep it alive in a love song. Nine years into his marriage to Cassandra, Clyde developed dementia. He put down his guitar and quit his job. But music he had recorded still needed lyrics.

For Valentine’s Day, a story about what happens when your loved one is drifting away β€” and the ways we try to hold on.

You gotta wonder if Texas Republicans are looking at their new congressional map and wondering if they made a huge mistake.

A reminder to the news media: β€œconflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Austin police will change policy on ICE cooperation after detention of mother, daughter Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis says new policy will reflect the fact that officers have greater leeway over when to report people to ICE when they are suspected of civil immigration violations.

NEW from @mosebuchele.bsky.social : Austin police leaders have long said that they don't ask about the immigration status of people they come into contact with.

Under a new policy, that might change: www.kut.org/crime-justic...
