It hasn’t been a great last week of the August recess for Republican members of Congress. At town hall events across the country, attendees booed, laughed, jeered, and demanded answers as their GOP representatives tried to defend President Donald Trump’s agenda.

This week, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Susan Monarez was suddenly fired after she allegedly refused to follow Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s directives on immunizations. Top CDC officials resigned in protest and were escorted from the agency’s Atlanta headquarters.

As Texas congressional districts go, the 21st is pretty easy to parse. The outline of it, which dips into Austin and enfolds a vast swath of the San Antonio suburbs, looks like a lumpier-than-average flightless bird, or a small-headed figure wearing a cape in a windstorm. It is rich and Republican by design and has been represented by Rep. Chip Roy since 2019. Roy was born and raised around suburban D.C. and got two degrees from the University of Virginia. After a brief career in investment b...| Defector
