AUSTIN MAN climbed onto a sleeping woman's bed, claimed he had a gun, and strangled her until she nearly blacked out. She gouged his eye and beat him with a fan to get him off her. It was the third West Campus apartment Octavius Brown broke into that morning. In the other two, residents woke to find him exposing himself and masturbating inside their apartments. Octavius Brown has roughly 30 cases since 2013. Of the 14 charges filed since 2021, 9 were dismissed or rejected. Last time I covered this man he was getting arrested for robbing a gas station while out on bond for exposing himself and masturbating in public for the tenth time.

Let’s check in on how liberals are counterprogramming Trump’s UFC event… 😂

NEW: U.K. advances proposal to force Apple, Google, Signal, & other platforms to scan private content on users’ devices — executives could face prison if they refuse.

Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE. When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted. The system is rigged.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

Rep. Jamie Raskin ensures Democrats still want to impeach President Trump. Host: "Is impeachment on the table for you?" RASKIN: “Everything’s on the table… Nobody on our side is afraid of impeachment... It is one more tool in the tool kit and we will use it if we need to."

The Nation has published a special edition for America 250 which, unsurprisingly, carries pieces like: "250 years of genocide, theft, and displacement" "The celebration of the nation's birth is a sham" "Shame" "The Bald Eagle perfectly embodies America's flaws" "America is due for a deep clean." "America is due a third Reconstruction." "Alexander Hamilton, the wrong founder."

🚨Report: John Cornyn has announced he will not campaign for Republican Senate Nominee Ken Paxton for the November General Election

The GOP turned down gaining something like 30 extra seats via redistricting. Instead, they'll be gaining 8-10.

Well, here we are. While this primary election wasn’t a big turnout, and no Republican in CD-2 received a majority of the vote, the Republican candidate advancing to the general election faces a well-positioned Democrat opponent. It will be an interesting summer and fall, but I believe it’s fair to say that CD-2, for the first time in its history, isn’t a Republican guarantee. What was once a safe prediction may quickly become an expensive one. Why? The fact that the largest block of registered Republican voters in CD-2 is 35.5%. James Settelmeyer ran a campaign rooted in integrity, energized on the issues, and fueled by a deep passion for the place he calls home. That is something I hope he is proud of. The candidate I supported did not prevail Tuesday night. However, my longstanding respect for the voters has not changed. It is my hope that the values and culture that built our Original Nevada, Congressional District Two, will still have a strong voice in the U.S. House of Representatives. I look forward to the next 5 months as an election observer, instead of a candidate.
