Jessica Cisneros saw a fundraising boost after an FBI raid on U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar's home
by Abby Livingston, Texas TribuneDemocratic congressional candidate Jessica Cisneros benefited from a surge in fundraising in the aftermath of an FBI raid on the Laredo home and office of her primary opponent, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar.
In the first three months of the year, Cisneros raised nearly three times more than Cuellar. Most of that fundraising took place after the Jan. 19 raid. The raid also sent the Democratic primary race in the 28th Congressional District into a completely different trajectory compared to the year before: Cuellar’s fundraising slumped while Cisneros’ exploded.
Cuellar fell 660 votes short of avoiding a runoff during the March primary elections. He and Cisneros will face off in a May 24 runoff.
“The raid hasn’t hurt Cuellar as much as I would have thought, but it surely cost him support he might have otherwise had,” said Matt Angle, a longtime Texas Democratic strategist. “Cuellar spent weeks after the raid twisting in the wind over speculation that he would be indicted. My guess is some people with cold feet held out on him.”

Wild idea: Rancher offers Elon Musk free land to move Twitter HQ to Williamson County
The headquarters for social media company Twitter is right in the middle of San Francisco.
So why are people discussing the possibility that once new owner Elon Musk takes over, Twitter's corporate offices could move to a plot of ranch land in rural Williamson County?
The far-fetched idea has taken on a life of its own after Jim Schwertner, a Central Texas cattle rancher and businessman, raised the possibility this week on social media.
Schwertner, president and CEO of Schwertner Farms, on Tuesday tweeted at Musk, offering 100 acres of land to the billionaire free of charge if Musk would relocate Twitter's corporate offices to the site. The property is in Schwertner, an unincorporated community east of Jarrell.
“Elon, Move twitter to Schwertner, TX, 38 miles North of Austin and we will give you 100 Acres for FREE,” Schwertner said on the social media site.

I haven't been to Schwertner in about 15 years. The last time I was there it was merely a T-intersection with one stop sign.
