Tarrant County was Texas' largest county dominated by the GOP. Last night, that streak ended as Democrats swept countywide races and a redistricting to make the county commissioners court more Republican backfired. via @zachleggio texastribune.org/2026/11/03/… @TexasTribune

This sentence was just an aside in a long post from Josh Blackman, but it's possible it may be an important one. In the next few years, Blackman predicts, "the Fifth Circuit will likely be a lot quieter" given the party switch in the Texas AG spot. reason.com/volokh/2026/11/03…

Dan Patrick and left Republicans reeling in a state that has long anchored national GOP politics. bit.ly/4AfKrZG
