The Texas Progressive Alliance might be a little late to work this morning, after celebrating the Rick Perry indictment all weekend, as it brings you the best lefty blog posts across the Lone Star State from last week.
Off the Kuff reminds us that there's one more special Senate election to go this year, and this one features a Democrat that's worth supporting.
Harold Cook warns us to keep a sense of perspective on the Rick Perry indictment.
Texas Leftist keeps wondering when the national media is going figure out that Texas could be a swing state today if enough people were actually voting. Plus: clarifying Wendy Davis' stance on LGBT equality issues, and what we can expect if she's elected.
WCNews at Eye on Williamson wryly observes that unfortunately in Texas, we have the government that we voted for... or didn't vote for, as the case may be: Avoiding Medicaid, Non-Voting, And Ferguson.
Libby Shaw at Texas Kaos finds it amusing how Greg Abbott promotes himself as a small government fiscal conservative while he squanders taxpayer dollars on ridiculous lawsuits: Greg Abbott’s Frivolous Fights with the Feds Cost Taxpayers Millions.
CouldBeTrue at South Texas Chisme notes that audit of Hidalgo County voting machines shows no tampering. Of course, without a paper trail, you can't really be sure. Kudos to Travis County for their efforts to provide auditable elections.
After the late Friday afternoon news broke about Rick Perry's felony indictments, PDiddie at Brains and Eggs consumed more adult beverages than he planned. All weekend long.
Egberto Willies thinks that Hillary Clinton should pay attention to the Obama coalition that Rand Paul is trying to assemble.
Neil at Blog About Our Failing Money-Owned American Political System bought a Texas cake to mark the indictment of Rick Perry. NeilAquino.com has many pages and is well worth your time to consider.
And here some great blog posts from elsewhere in the Deep-In-The-Hearta.
jobsanger has the chart that illustrates how Rick Perry's payola scheme has worked so well for him over the years.
Grits for Breakfast notes that the economics of the Rio Grande border surge are not sustainable, while Scott Braddock shows how Rick Perry's border posturing is bad for the people that actually live and work there.
Fascist Dyke Motors seems to have misplaced her father's suicide diaries. If you find them, could you kindly return them?
State Impact Texas has the news that diesel fuel has been used in hydraulic fracturing, which is illegal. Bluedaze offers the proof.
nonsequiteuse expands on the report that John Cornyn and Ted Cruz spend more taxpayer money on their office operations that nearly every other US Senator.
In the third installment of a continuing series, Socratic Gadfly's word to text Greg Abbott -- per request in his movie trailer ads -- is not 'freedom' but 'RickPerry'. Or 'indictment' is good, too.
Juanita Jean disagrees with the calls for Rick Perry to resign.
Lone Star Q decries Rep. Jonathan Stickland's attack on transgender inmates.
The Texas Election Law Blog games out the state's strategy in the redistricting litigation.
Lone Star Ma celebrates National Breastfeeding Month.
And finally, The Bloggess wants us to know that help is always available if you need it.
