    The Texas Tribune describes itself as “a nonpartisan, nonprofit media organization that promotes civic engagement and discourse on public policy, politics, government, and other matters of statewide concern.” Its “Hot Seat” series is held at universities across the state, aimed at encouraging interaction between Texas government officials and the people they represent.

    Sic ’em, Texas Tribune!
