AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Fort Hood Execution: President Donald Trump canceled plans to livestream the December execution of Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009; victims’ families may attend in person. Senate Showdown: Democrat James Talarico raised $64 million in the third quarter, a record for a Senate candidate, as polls show a tight race with Republican Ken Paxton. Elon Musk gave $10 million to a Paxton-supporting PAC. Talarico is making data-center energy and water costs a campaign issue. Data Center Scrutiny: Paxton sent letters to 156 Texas developments seeking accurate water-use information, while Gov. Greg Abbott wants lawmakers to consider new restrictions in 2027. School Law Dispute: Grand Prairie ISD canceled “Little Shop of Horrors” after concerns that casting a girl as male lead Seymour could violate Texas law; the district cited SB 12. Abortion Pill Law: A Texas woman is suing members of Students for Life under the group-backed law allowing private lawsuits over abortion pills, putting the law’s reach before a judge.
