If this song doesn't put some pep in your step and a smile on your heart you might want to have your companions pinch you to make sure you're alive.

My friend Tony Drewry kindly shared this shot that he took of Butch Hancock as Butch played his harmonica at the Tolbert Chili Cookoff in Terlingua last month. Butch, perhaps the greatest Texas songwriter of them all, was onstage and Tony at the back of the crowd with a 400mm lens. So evocative!

Newsom: Anyone checked out my Patriot store? We do have some knee pads. It’s a signature series. They’re sold out at the moment. The universities, and all these law firms, and certain media organizations—I figured they can use these.

Newsom: He is a historic president—a historically unpopular president. Underwater in every key category—I mean, you can’t even make this up; this is hard to do…

Ken Paxton just filed a lawsuit to remove me from office.

But this seat doesn’t belong to him or me — it belongs to the people.

My message to Ken Paxton:

Come and take it.
