Welfare cuts loom for Texas seniors as federal increase raises income
Austin observers report about 20,000 Texas welfare recipients could lose eligibility next month due to higher federal Social Security benefits. An additional 110,000 may see state Old Age Assistance cuts, but Raymond W. Vowell notes total income may still rise. The department aims to avoid reducing grants and urges recipients to report income changes. About 4,700 elderly could keep welfare under revised procedures.

Logan Act: Long History of Private Diplomacy and Debate
The Logan Act, enacted in January 1799, bars private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments without official approval. Despite high profiles accused over the years, prosecutions have been rare, with only one indictment historically, and modern mentions by figures such as Henry Ford and Jane Fonda sparked renewed questions. Harvard’s Dellev F. Vagts warns the act may be invoked by a future administration, turning it into a “sleeping giant.”
