A new report out of Austin Community College Thursday predicts 16 to 17% of Texas voters in November 2020 will not fill out their entire ballot. It’s a side effect of 2017’s House Bill 25 which repealed straight-ticket voting in the state. The measure used to automatically select all members of a certain political party on a given ballot. This will impact older people and people of color the most, according to the report. The analysis came out of ACC’s Center for Public Policy and Political Studies. Peck Young heads the center and says voters will just get tired around...

The 2020 presidential election is more than a year away, but candidates are zig-zagging the country to line up support, both in terms of votes and contributions. Currently, Sen.

The Justice Department watchdog unveiled a report Thursday rebuking former FBI director James Comey over his handling of memos detailing his conversations with President Trump, saying he violated FBI policies.

While highly critical of Comey’s actions, the inspector general did not make recommendations on whether the former top government official should face any charges, and Attorney General William Barr has declined to prosecute him. The watchdog...

But last week, she received a recall notice from the DMV, ordering her exchange them for a standard license plate or another vanity plate.

Political discourse continues to be a discordant contest between haters and admirers of President Trump. But meanwhile, there has been substantial progress toward an improved strategic environment for the United States and the West. Ever since Pearl Harbor, FDR produced the blueprint for all subsequent American strategic policy. In his war message he said: “We will make very certain that this form of treachery never again endangers us.” The United States must not appease its mortal enemies and must always retain the military power to deter a direct attack on it. All 13 of the presidents who have followed FDR...

AUSTIN — Several small business owners said at a Republican-sponsored forum Thursday that they adore President Donald Trump’s tax cuts and deregulation policies. But the event’s host, a printing-company owner, said he disagrees with “some things about President Trump.” He declined to be more specific. State GOP Chairman James Dickey, emcee and co-sponsor of the Trump reelection campaign’s “Open for Business” roundtable in north Austin, acknowledged that some recent tweets by the president have been odd.

A Facebook campaign ad from an upstate New York county’s Republican Party has been slammed as anti-Semitic and “deeply disturbing.” Titled “A storm is brewing in Rockland,” the video takes aim at the large and growing hasidic Jewish community in the county, the specter of “overdevelopment” and a proposed yeshiva campus.
