Last night, Republican Congressman Will Hurd announced he would not seek re-election in 2020. Hurd was the only black Republican in the House of Representatives (Tim Scott of South Carolina is in the Senate.)

So far in 2019, a total of 8 Republican members of Congress have announced they are retiring. Of those, 6 announced their retirement in the last couple weeks. And three of them are from Texas!

Hurd's district has alternated between Republican and Democrat five times since the 1990s. Demographically, it's 71% Hispanic. Hurd won in 2018 by just 1,000 votes.

Routine prison death, I guess,

Quote:

Ramirez was charged in 2012 with lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and was sentenced in 2013 to life in prison

Ramirez was found dead on the fifth floor of the Duval County jail, according to WTLV. Sources told the news outlet Ramirez was beaten and drowned in the toilet of his jail cell by his cellmate.

What does my being unemployed have to do with being able to link to an article? My uncle is unemployed yet he is a multi-millionaire - do you equate being unemployed with having no money?
