"America is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world." — President George H.W. Bush, who left the White House 30 years ago today.

Tonight I joined in Austin for a conversation about the state of our democracy and other topics during the Golden Door Awards Dinner. Appreciate the work of ADL to combat bigotry and discrimination.

Paul Burka was a great reporter and writer, but most of all, he cared deeply about Texas. For decades, his work helped Texans better understand this state, its politics, its history, and its future. I will always appreciate his professionalism and cherish his friendship.

As a lifelong Republican, I want the party to be known for improving public education and building a stronger economy, instead of election denial and flirtations with secession.

Shame falls on a party that would censure persons of conscience, who seek truth in the face of vitriol. Honor attaches to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for seeking truth even when doing so comes at great personal cost.
