The Texas Board of Education met this week to update the social studies curriculum for K-12 students in the Lone Star State—among the major changes they’ve made so far is the reversal of their decision two months ago to axe Hillary Clinton and Helen Keller from the history books. Oh, also, Moses is a basically a…
Over the weekend, Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson took a break from talking about ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande (jk, he didn’t!!) to apologize for a joke he’d made on the last show about former Navy SEAL and congressman-elect Dan Crenshaw. If you somehow managed to miss it, Davidson mocked the Texas Republican—who…
After losing his seat on the bench to a Democrat in yesterday’s election, long time Harris County Juvenile Court Judge Glenn Devlin spent this morning releasing almost every juvenile over whose case he presided, asking them each only to promise to not kill anyone.
HOUSTON—Ted Cruz spent the night before what he hoped would be his re-election at the Redneck Country Club, a sprawling watering hole and venue in southwest Houston.

Donald Trump’s rally tonight in Texas, part of his unlikely campaign for Ted Cruz, was sure to be a doozy. Our steadfast president delivered above and beyond expectations, hitting hard on racially-charged issues sure to ignite his base. These included the terrible proliferation of MS-13, Beto O’Rourke’s supposedly…
I’m sorry, “Lyin’” Ted Cruz can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, because he’s dead. In his place, however, I am pleased to introduce you to “Beautiful” Ted—a new and improved nickname unveiled on Monday afternoon by President Donald Trump, before he headed to Texas to campaign with his onetime rival.
Our friends at Deadspin tell us the Texas-Oklahoma University rivalry is one of the biggest in college sports. So for this episode of Divided, we traveled to the far-away land of midtown Manhattan to ask Texans viewing the game about another rivalry that’s heating up—the Senate race between Beto O’Rourke and incumbent…
Brooklyn is big. Seventy square miles. Ample room for the more than 2.6 million people live here. Some of those people pay a high premium to live in recently constructed high rise towers. And then—and then—try to guess what they do.
Former President Barack Obama has yet to endorse insurgent Democratic Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke, and, well, O’Rourke is fine with that. In fact, O’Rourke’s team hasn’t even asked for one, according to a report on Thursday.
AMARILLO, TEXAS—The Democratic candidate for Congress in the most Republican congressional district in America does not stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Ever. Nor does he wear an American flag lapel pin. Ever. He prefers a small golden pin of the Constitution, etched with the phrase “We The People.” “I don’t have…

To deal with the burgeoning number of undocumented migrant children in federal custody, the Trump administration in recent weeks has been awakening hundreds of kids in the middle of the night at homes and shelters across the country. Then, they are placed on buses and sent to a tent city in the desert in Texas, near…
We already knew U.S. Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke was cool because he was in punk bands when he was younger and he jammed with Willie Nelson on some pro-marijuana songs.
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent suspected of being a serial killer was arrested early Saturday morning and accused of killing four women in the Laredo, TX, area.

A GoFundMe campaign started by the organization USA Latinx, which The Hill calls “a political group focused on supporting Latinx candidates,” raised nearly $10,000 today to erect a “mobile billboard” that hopes to undermine Donald Trump’s endorsement of Texas Senator Ted Cruz ahead of the midterm elections. “President…
Democrat Beto O’Rourke is within one point of Ted Cruz in the Texas Senate race. Understandably, the state Republican Party is afraid that their big gelatinous boy will lose. Less understandably, the party has begun attacking O’Rourke by tweeting pictures of him from when he was younger and even hotter than he is now.
A few weeks ago, rumors spread across the internet that a child had died in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement custody. It turned out that information was false.
