I'm overwhelmed by the kind words so many have offered on my departure (and chuckled at a few 'good riddance' comments as well). The @The_IN_Citizen is performing an important public service and deserves your attention and support. indianacitizen.org/hicks-com…

🚨BREAKING: The drained Reflecting Pool did not reveal any slices. Instead, tire marks were visible, obvious damage from Trump’s vanity drive in a fleet of 10-ton vehicles for no reason at all. He ruined his own project, then lied and blamed the citizens who paid for it.

“4 years ago, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn won the I-35 corridor by nearly 350,000 votes over his Democratic opponent David Alameel. But O’Rourke carried those same counties by more than 440,000 votes. That is a nearly an 800,000-vote swing in just 4 years.” houstonchronicle.com/news/po…
