Abbott is shifting into full-on appointments mode for key state agencies – the kind of appointments he wouldn’t want to endanger during an ongoing THC standoff by putting them up for confirmation in Patrick’s Senate
After addressing
rampant rumors of a possible third special session on the latest edition of Quorum
Report Radio, which you can find on all podcast apps, quite a few of
you weighed in with helpful thoughts.
The quick feedback
was primarily from two groups: The first was those of you who simply hope and
pray there’s not a chance of any more legislative overtime.

If benefits from the ACA evaporate, Quorum Report Publisher Harvey Kronberg on Spectrum Capital Tonight points out "that has a disproportionate impact in Texas the further south you go." HK and host James Barragan also discussed Gov. Abbot't's comments on possibly seeking the White House in 2028. The governor said he'd be 'guided by god'

The
looming federal government shutdown could have an impact on more
than just the roughly 250,000 federal employees who live in Texas.
Shutdowns
mean “nonessential” workers are furloughed, and essential workers, including
the bulk of those Texas employees work without pay until there’s a resolution.
The state
is already home to the third most number of federal
employees in the country, following California and Washington, D.C., with almost
half working for the Department of Veteran Affairs, Army,
Air Force and Department of Defense.

Tony Ortiz at Current Revolt was first on the story now also confirmed by the San Antonio Express News
Here
is the latest from reporter Nancy M. Preyor-Johnson
An aide to
U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales who died of burns earlier this month poured
gasoline over herself before she was engulfed in flames, the San Antonio
Express-News has learned.
Regina Ann
“Regi” Santos-Aviles, 35, regional district director for Gonzales, was found
severely burned in the backyard of her home in Uvalde on the evening of Sept.
13. She was airlifted to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, where she
died the next morning.
Members of
the Uvalde Volunteer Fire Department went to Santos-Aviles’ house at 9:39 p.m.
Sept. 13 in response to a report of “an individual who was on fire.” Citing a
fire department report, the Leader-News reported that Uvalde police told
firefighters Santos-Aviles had "doused herself in gasoline and was ignited
into flames."
The
Express-News confirmed those details independently.

QR’s James Russell reflects on what might have been an unlikely friendship – the kind that are harder and harder to forge now at the Texas Capitol
The late Kyleen
Wright and I were sitting together in the front row before a Texas House
State Affairs hearing in the Reagan building when
Chairman Charlie Geren walked up, looked down at us with a “really, what
the hell is going on?” expression on his face and asked in that booming voice,
something like, “is he bothering you?”
As I
reminded Geren, strange bedfellows emerge in politics, and certainly that was
the case under former Speaker Joe Straus.
“We’re
together because of Texas Right to Life and Tim Dunn,” I
replied.
I can’t
even remember exactly when that was but we already had
known each other for a few years. I first read about my friend Kyleen in Texas
Monthly, with the headline of the question and answer touting her as
the “compassionate social conservative.” We began talking on X, formerly
Twitter, in 2016 according to my notes.
As to why
our friendship would be considered strange, let me give you some context about
why Chair Geren was surprised.

Staffer moves, power players, well-deserved awards, and barbecue from the Sine Die Smokers is back
Before
anything else: Don’t forget that the Sine Die Smokers are serving
up their tasty barbecue today with lunch served from 11:30 this morning until
2:30 then happy hour from 3pm to 5pm over at 1111 Guadalupe. Proceeds go to No
Hunger Inc. and the Central Texas Food Bank. Always great
stuff for a great cause.
Meantime, I
have to tell y’all the reactions to the new Quorum
Report podcast have been humbling to say the least. After only two
episodes, thousands of listeners have tuned in as we head
into this weekend and I appreciate the feedback about
our plans to offer premium programming in addition to the free shows we’ve done
so far. Coming up on Monday: Some real talk about
all the rumors of a third special session and more. As of now, the shows will
continue to drop early Monday mornings but some
changes are coming as we move into the next phase of this. So, make
sure you’re subscribed to the show to stay in the loop. Through that link you can subscribe on Apple podcasts and Spotify, but of course you can find it on all podcast apps by searching for "Quorum Report Radio." Depending on your browser, you may have to right click the link and open in a new tab.
Meantime,
there are some significant moves in the Texas Capitol community
this week to pass along. If you have career news to share – whether it’s you or
someone else – send it to ksbraddock@gmail.com
and use POTM in the subject line so I can keep it all straight in the inbox.
Please and thank you.
Here’s the
latest edition.
