The latest
via KVUE
TV in Austin:
A man has
been arrested after the Texas Department of Public Safety identified a
“credible threat” toward legislators attending Saturday’s “No Kings” protest at
the Texas Capitol.
A DPS
trooper arrested the suspect in La Grange, southeast of Austin, KVUE Senior
Reporter Tony Plohetski confirmed. The threat is no
longer considered active, a spokesperson for DPS said.
The
Capitol and Capitol grounds were evacuated around 1 p.m. “out of an abundance
of caution.” Just before 4 p.m., the Capitol grounds were reopened.
“DPS has a
duty to protect the people and property of Texas and is continuously monitoring
events occurring today and their impact on public safety across the state,” DPS
said. “DPS will collaborate with all local, state and federal law enforcement
partners to ensure the safety of our citizens and state property, as well as to
protect individuals exercising their constitutional rights to assemble and free
speech. As with any incident response, the department adjusts its operations,
including personnel and resources, as needed to address potential and emerging
threats.”

Meantime, there are reports the GOP members of Congress from Texas will again meet about this on Thursday
The NYT
politics team puts
some flesh on the bone about rumors we’ve heard in Austin for months:
President
Trump’s political team is encouraging Republican leaders in Texas to examine
how House district lines in the state could be redrawn ahead of next year’s
midterm elections to try to save the party’s endangered majority, according to
people in Texas and Washington who are familiar with the effort.
The push
from Washington has unnerved some Texas Republicans, who worry that reworking
the boundaries of Texas House seats to turn Democratic districts red by adding
reliably Republican voters from neighboring Republican districts could backfire
in an election that is already expected to favor Democrats. Rather than flip
the Democratic districts, new lines could endanger incumbent Republicans.
But a
person close to the president, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the
person was not authorized to talk publicly, nevertheless urged a “ruthless”
approach and said Mr. Trump would welcome any chance to pick up seats in the
midterms. The president would pay close attention to those in his party who
help or hurt that effort, the person warned.

As
elections go, this past weekend’s municipal runoffs didn’t result in any
startling news compared to the first go-around in May, where firebrand
conservatives on school boards and city councils saw big losses in Mansfield,
Keller and Katy.
This time
the results were mixed.
