Description

Preparing to run for a historic fourth term, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has fortified his campaign staff, trained a legion of volunteers and amassed close to $100 million in his war chest, a figure that will grow substantially between now and the November 2026 general election. In other news, two Dallas City Council members are hosting a listening session Monday to gather input from residents on the future of City Hall. The meeting comes when the Dallas City Council is debating whether to renovate or demolish City Hall;  the government shutdown has placed food assistance for some 42 million Americans in peril. In Texas, 3.5 million people rely on SNAP. Two federal judges have told the Trump administration that it must partially or fully fund the food benefits, but it is not clear if the president will comply; and as SMU’s south goalpost rested somewhere between University Park and downtown Dallas, the SMU fan base, players and coaching staff relished the extra hour to sleep off a long evening of reverse Boulevarding and partying all across North Texas.
