Haitian migrants part of the group of people from Haiti waiting in Del Rio and Ciudad Acuña to get access to the United States cross the Rio Grande toward Ciudad Acuña, Mexico to get supplies, Friday, Sept. 17, 2021, in Ciudad Acuña, Mexico. Haitians crossed the Rio Grande freely and in a steady stream, going back and forth between the U.S. and Mexico through knee-deep water with some parents carrying small children on their shoulders. Unable to buy supplies in the U.S., they returned briefly to Mexico for food and cardboard to settle, temporarily at least, under or near the bridge in Del Rio, a city of 35,000 that has been severely strained by migrant flows in recent months.

Matthew McConaughey is still considering a run for political office.
The “Dallas Buyers Club” actor, a native of Texas, said in a recent episode of the “Set it Straight: Myths and Legends” podcast that he’s “measuring” the idea after members of the country band Midland said he should run for office in his home state. Over the past year, McConaughey has played with the idea of running for governor.
To the hosts, he replied, “Well, thank you, man. I’m measuring it. Look, it’s going to be in some capacity. … I just — I’m more of a folksy and philosopher poet statesman than I am a, per se, definitive politician.”
He continued, “So I go, well, that’s a reason not to, but then I go, no, that’s exactly why you should, because politics needs redefinition, but I’m measuring, you know, what is my category? What’s my embassy?”
If McConaughey does run, it will likely be against Democrat Beto O’Rourke and current Gov. Greg Abbott, according to the Houston Chronicle.
McConaughey said his struggle with becoming a politician is how to remain an artist as well.
“I have to remain an artist,” he said on the podcast. “I’ve earned my right to enjoy that Saturday night part of life, that music part of life. It has to have music to it. You know what I mean. I’m very good at being diligent, Monday morning, practical, structure, I’m all of that. But I gotta continue to be an artist in what I do.”
