AUSTIN Voting rights, gun rights, critical race theory and abortion restrictions captured headlines during the 140-day regular session of the Texas Legislature. But lawmakers also dealt with or failed to deal with a variety of other issues.
Efforts to expand legalized gambling gained no ground in spite of intensive and expensive lobbying by casino operators, but neither did efforts to expand Medicaid coverage for low-income Texans.
The contentious session included a walkout by House Democrats that broke quorum and killed for now an elections bill opponents labeled “voter suppression” and proponents described as ensuring “election integrity.” But in the process, they made a special session virtually certain.
Earl “DMX” Simmons kept it real whether he was testifying about his angels or his demons.
While it’s common for grief, depression, anxiety, and faith to come up in popular music today, Simmons rose to fame at a time when hip-hop songs about flashy cars, jewelry, and expensive clothes ruled the charts. The rapper best known by his stage name DMX shot videos in his childhood neighborhood wearing workman’s jumpsuits and few gold chains.
Simmons who died last week at age 50 is the first and only rapper to have five albums debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and he did so while making Christianity a central element of his music. DMX’s witness over his 30-year career reshaped how the genre engages faith in public.
