Part One: Our weekly update from the Lone Star State with Scott Braddock. Topics include: the plague of scooters in downtown Austin, Fox News “battle on the border” town hall in San Antonio….200 miles from the border, GOP infighting in the Texas House, Speaker Bonnen continues the tradition of appointing committee chairs from both parties, preserving diversity in leadership, and Beto’s road trip – is there really a draft Beto movement in NH?
