Here is a look at the headlines as you start your day  [Morning roundup]( 10/23/2019 By Todd Davis Good morning! Here is a look at the top headlines as we start the day. 🌞 Weather: One last day in 2019 to wear your crop top and jorts (and we might all be happy about that, no offense) as the high rises to 80 degrees before dipping into more fall-like weather in the next few days. Low will be in the 60s, and the next rain chance is Thursday. 🔎 Prefer the online view?

This time, after tornadoes touched down in Dallas late Sunday night, bulk and brush collection workers will face a new kind of challenge: a concentrated disaster zone, inaccessible roads and loads of structural damage. But [the amount of bulk they’re expecting from construction and demolition debris will be a major undertaking]( said Assistant City Manager Joey Zapata. "We expect the debris is going to be very different," Zapata said.  Also: [9 total tornadoes are confirmed]( as power is restored to thousands across Dallas-Fort Worth.   And: Tom Thumb is open at Preston and Royal for [anyone who can walk there](.  ADVERTISEMENT POLITICS [Is Dennis Bonnen’s planned departure good or bad for Texas Republicans?]( With House Speaker Dennis Bonnen announcing Tuesday he will not seek reelection in 2020, Texas Republicans felt a weight lifted off their shoulders as the scandal-ridden leader tried to make the party’s elections next year a little easier by removing himself from the equation. But Bonnen didn’t resign, so he’ll be in office until a new state representative is inaugurated in his district in January 2021, 14 months from now. With Bonnen essentially a lame-duck speaker, his decision to step away but not immediately could be a double-edged sword, sparing Republicans difficult and politically fraught questions about his actions but also starving them of his organizing and fundraising strength. Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University, said [Bonnen’s departure was the best possible outcome for Republicans](.  Also: [Trump's complaint equating impeachment inquiry to a ‘lynching’]( infuriates black Texas lawmakers.   Editorial: [Dennis Bonnen got caught in a political trap]( but by retiring, he might save Republicans from it.  AVIATION [Boeing parts with top commercial exec in 737 Max fallout]( Boeing Co. is parting ways with its commerical airplanes chief and promoting the head of its Plano-based Global Services group to the key job as the airplane maker tries to repair damage from the ongoing 737 Max crisis.

He replaces Kevin McAllister, who is the first to depart from Boeing’s top executive ranks since two deadly crashes prompted the aircraft’s worldwide grounding in March. [Deal has run Boeing Global Services since the division was founded and moved to Plano in 2017](.  Also: [American Airlines’ alliance chief]( will leave following Latam's loss to Delta.   And: [American Airlines bulks up vacation destination routes]( from DFW with a flight to Hilton Head, S.C.  ADVERTISEMENT EDITORS' PICKS - Crime: [A Flower Mound teacher]( molested a boy years ago, then admitted it in a phone call, police say. - 'A fertile time in Dallas': [Homegrown playwrights]( are thriving with works that matter here. - How did they spin it?
