Sometimes I walk out here for really no reason at all. The Texas Capitol is just beautiful and belongs to poor children in east El Paso County as much as it belongs to a hedge fund manager who lives in Highland Park. God bless us all.

Pleased to welcome my longtime friend and former legislative colleague, @jamestalarico, to Houston. I look forward to collaborating with him as U.S. Senator, as we did in the Texas Legislature.

Fort Bend County: Rep @jamestalarico pumps up Democrats while trying not to alienate disaffected Republicans looking for a safe place to land this year. It's a tightrope, for sure

Today had dress rehearsal vibes. 🚩 🚩 🚩 @GoCivix and @TXsecofstate force counties to pipe election data through TEAM, a platform with horrid InfoSec. Counties need to review the lists below and implement whatever they haven’t already ASAP, and demand SoS do the same. #txlege

October has been an absolute nightmare for software > Railway - customer secrets exposure > LiteLLM - malicious PyPI + Docker releases > Zeabur - infrastructure breached > OpenCode - AI API keys exposed > OVHcloud CLI - official binaries backdoored > Rank Math PRO - malware in official plugin > TeamUpdraft - customer data compromised > ConnectWise - cloud backup identities compromised > Tensorlake - npm package infected > SubQuery - backdoored npm package > GhostAction - GitHub repos with malicious workflows > PHP - critical RCE vulnerabilities > Node.js - security vulnerabilities patched > eMudhra - certificate authority keys compromised > Tailscale - eMudhra incident At this point, the biggest security risk might not be the code we write, but the code we trust...

.@GregAbbott_TX on @seanhannity radio show urges Republicans to get out and vote: "Whether you're happy or not, we've got to realize what's at stake here. And if anybody stays home and doesn't go vote, it's going to put Texas at risk. It's going to put the United States at risk."
