Last week, Beto O’Rourke and Greg Abbott had their one and only debate before the gubernatorial election. We review what was covered during the debate and key takeaways.

– Glenn Hegar has waffled on whether or not to fine the debaucherous gay bar in Dallas that sexualized kids when hosting a “family-friendly” drag show and paid some of the most scantily clad dancers seen at similar events this year.
