a distinctly Texan take on politics, culture and life its ownself.
Deece Eckstein was not born in Texas, but got here as quick as he could. He spent 40 years in state government/politics, and retired from county government in time for the pandemic. He now splits his time between Austin and the Trans-Pecos.

Confounding Mysteries of Politics, Culture, and History, Under a Lone Star
Analysis and reporting on politics and culture in America. Home to Sarah Longwell, Tim Miller, Bill Kristol, JVL and more. No partisan loyalties. No tribal prejudices.
Pressing pause to make sense of the last 40+ years, what my horomones are doing and figuring out how to move forward when society is telling you it's too late. All while acknowledging that none of this is originalโbut it sure feels personal.
