This is the only post I am going to make regarding this, but media is trying to spin a vote of mine to make it look newsworthy. I voted against HB13 because it would have created a non-transparent council that would have overseen a grant program for emergency warning…
I’ve been a barefoot/sandal runner for years and after being asked a million times, “You run in those??” it is WILD to see some of my fave running sandals (@XeroShoes & Shammas) in a very mainstream list @strategist 👏🦶😃 nymag.com/strategist/art…
Big new story by @washingtonpost on Camp Mystic. An excerpt: lawyer in 1987 flood case told the jury 40 yrs ago “that the Guadalupe ‘is a beautiful, beautiful river, but she ain’t no lady.’ The lesson back then was the need for sirens and alarms.” washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

Michael McCown just confirmed that authorities called last night to have him identify Linnie. She was found. She is survived by two siblings and a pair of devoted parents in Austin. She was her father’s sweet girl.
Michael McCown, father of Linnie, went to Camp Mystic to walk and search. He needed to find his daughter. I respectfully share this short dispatch about a grieving father and am so grateful to him for letting me in. washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/07…
Thank you to all the request for help in Kerr County. It is truly appreciated. At this time, we are overwhelmed with volunteers and are asking for folks to stay out of the area if possible. The best way to help right now is a monetary donation. crosskingdom.org/give/
Efforts ongoing through the night - for those asking about recovery: Currently, Kerr County is not requesting or accepting in-kind donations. A volunteer reception center will open tomorrow at 855 Hays Street, Kerrville from 8am - 5pm. This is to accept, register and connect…
Heartbreaking from @arelisrhdz on the dads looking for their missing daughters in the Hill Country: “She’s out there somewhere with all her friends,” McCown said, describing his daughter as the most selfless little girl. “She was the sweetest little thing.”washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/07…
Camp Mystic, which has been attended by the daughters of LBJ as well as former first lady Laura Bush, gave many girls space to forge an identity. That idyll was shattered this week, via @jjouvenal, @EvaRuth & @brady_dennis washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/0…
As choppers search from above, campers from an all-girls camp reunite with cheering parents in downtown Kerrville. Counselors from nearby camps help load and unload trunks.
