I'm glad Huxley is now with a family who will give him appropriate love and care, but he never should have been in this situation-taken across the world, exploited for views. You don't re-home a child, most people wouldn't even re-home a dog

Carlos is using a large, professional camera and a Live U streaming backpack - not things protestors would be using. They are clearly visible and he was easy identifiable as a working journalist. This is beyond uncalled for.

: FBI calls press conference and accuses Iran of election interference, saying they are “sending spoofed emails to cause election unrest and damage President Trump.” Says Russia has also “obtained voter information.”

Thanks everyone for the well wishes! We’re delaying our honeymoon for a bit, so I’m back to work already. But I love getting to show off my bridal mehndi (henna) and my thaali (wedding necklace) on set!
Austin Energy cut power to about 3,600 customers yesterday during the hottest part of the day due to “heat-related demand surge and ongoing construction on a new substation.”
Summer hasn’t even begun. What will the coming months bring?

Welcome to the world, Baby GIRL! Veena Lakshmi arrived 2/28/22 at 6:04 pm at a petite 5lbs 6oz. She is the sweetest thing and mommy, daddy, and puppy sister just adore her already.
@bryanashton
and I are so blessed she’s ours! 💕
Texans - Gov. Abbott says businesses can choose to require masks because they can "operate their business the way they want to."
If you don't want to wear a mask, don't shop there! Go somewhere else, but please don't berate employees who are doing their jobs.
Goodbye, 1L! My first year at
@UTexasLaw
is in the books. This little one and I have both grown a lot in the last nine months, only she didn’t have to take finals to prove it. I’m excited for how much I’ve learned, and how much more there is left to learn. But for now - summer!
Politics aside, I can't underscore how awesome it is for me and many others to see this kind of South Indian representation from

You lose “credibility” by using the word “accreditation,” which makes no sense in this context. And this is Twitter, not the evening news. Calm down. Thanks. -Fellow media
A race many were not expecting to be up in the air...Texas U. S. Representative District 25. Democrat could take down the incumbent:

A look at the produce shelves at HEB 620 & O’Connor. People are in dire need of food they can eat without the use of a stove or microwave.

This man filmed all these movies and embodied such dignity, style, and grace, all the while battling colon cancer and the world had no idea. Just unbelievable.

Happy Deepavali! Can’t celebrate at home this year, so tried to make do with the next best thing. Hoping this holiday brings you light and joy!

Take a look - several people abandoned their cars when they couldn’t get up an icy Serene Hills Dr. in Lakeway. It looks like one of the cars may have spun out. Very treacherous conditions out there, folks! Stay home!

Hours after he resigned from his position, former Forth Worth police officer Aaron Dean is charged with murder in the shooting death of Atatiana Jefferson.
I can't help but be amazed. There are several women in my family and my life named Kamala, a very traditional South Indian name. I never knew I'd see a woman with Indian roots as a candidate for Vice President of the United States.

Last year, the best guy took me to the most beautiful place and asked me to marry him. We were so excited for our wedding on April 10th, but given the seriousness of the
#COVID19
pandemic and the most recent CDC recommendations, we’ve decided to postpone our wedding.
Someone inside Life Austin Church sent us this video on Christmas Eve saying they’re holding “full-capacity services with NO social distancing or masks.” They’re calling it a “super-spreader event of faith.”
This is the same church Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted about earlier today.
PRICELESS. Cleaning out my gmail and stumbled upon my internship journal from 2006 at
@fox7austin
. I remember these days vividly - including this one when I first went out on a story with
@JenniL_KVUE
. I can’t believe I still have this, so cool to read through it!
Good morning, friends! More than a little disappointed to be waking up in my own bed this morning, but thankful for a few days of relaxation, nature, a good book, and s’mores.
Looks like someone else will have to anchor the shows at
@cbsaustin
today. Veena is way too cozy with
@waltmac
, and you know you can’t wake a sleeping baby!!
Found this good boy dodging cars in the street on my way home. Pulled over and he tried to jump right into my car! Hung out with him for about 15 minutes until his owner drove by and saw us. Happy I was in the right place at the right time and he’s home safe tonight! 🙏🏽
Just confirmed with family members that the co-pilot of

This is a copy of my first television contract: a whopping $21k in Midland, TX.
If you think journalists get into it for fortune and fame, you’re wrong. Remember that as you think about the folks at

who continue their important work even after a horrific attack.
Back to the grind after the longest vacation of my adult life! (I know my fellow journalism folks can appreciate that feeling) So thrilled to come back from our belated Maldives honeymoon rested and refreshed!
For those asking for my thoughts...
Today I will anchor newscasts that have been well-researched and written by a talented and hardworking team of producers, reporters, photographers, editors, and assignment editors. That makes today no different than any other day. (1/4)
These are the

Coming from this Longhorn: Texas A&M has done a beautiful job with the Bush service. The students and people of College Station are giving him a fitting farewell.

Happy first anniversary,

Chris Wallace asking for fewer interruptions moving forward.
Trump: "From him, too."
Wallace, to Trump: "Frankly, you've been doing more interrupting."

I think everyone complaining about this halftime show forgets we’re in a pandemic. Pulling that off while staying safe during rehearsals and set up is a feat!

You know what I'm tired of? Being told someone is going to "unfollow me" or questioning me because I post something they don't agree with. Not editorializing, just posting a piece of news that happened. Happens with people on both sides. Feels like such a shame it's come to this.
OF NOTE - This puts Texas at a 10.7% positivity rate. At his May 5th press conference, Governor Greg Abbott said anything over a 10% positivity rate was a “red flag”
#COVID19
Did you just receive a Blue Alert? First time I’ve gotten one of these. It apparently means “a law enforcement officer must have been killed or seriously injured by an offender.”
Wow - check out this glowing tree at Legends Golf Course in Kingsland. It was hit by lightning, and is still on fire - on the inside! Have you ever seen anything like this?

My mom wore this necklace on her wedding day 43 years ago, so I thought it would be a great choice to wear today in her honor. Happy anniversary,

Spent a wonderful afternoon celebrating

in Austin! Thanks to
@MayorAdler

@JimmyFlannigan

@GAACCAustin
for joining us. (Also...not sure how we got the beautiful rainbow effect, but I’ll take it as a sign of a great Diwali to come!)
Just had four
@TravisCoSheriff
deputies knock on my door. Apparently someone at my address, who they think looks like me, has a warrant out for their arrest from February 2017. I’ve never even gotten a speeding ticket. So that was cool. Happy Monday!
