Regulators in Texas did not stop processing permits for data center projects when Gov. Abbott ordered a pause last month, according to an analysis of public records. From @insideclimate: kut.org/energy-environment/2…
Now that reporters have confirmed right-wing groups are behind the transgender mailers and texts here in Texas, I'm seeing so many people say things like: "It doesn't matter who sent them! They still tell the truth about how Democrats want to trans our children!"
And I just don't know how to have a productive conversation with someone who uses this kind of reasoning.
Not sure it's a great sign for the future of democracy when one person, who is the biggest donor to the GOP, also owns a satellite system he can turn up or down like a volume dial to affect the outcome of a war + a social media platform used to influence public opinion
In Texas you’ll spend $100 for a week of groceries and $50 to fill your tank while the GOP tries to tell you trans people and weed are the biggest threats in our state
The Trump administration’s cuts to weather satellites will set the country back nearly a decade, experts say. The loss of data used to observe, forecast and research extreme weather could prevent the US from making major advances in weather prediction in the coming years. cnn.it/4k6eD4o
Abbott announced 12 endorsements from local sheriffs this morning.
By mid morning, we learned one of the 12 was currently under federal indictment for public corruption.
By mid afternoon, we learned one of the 12 said he never endorsed Abbott, but was listed nonetheless.
South Texas drama: Greg Abbott initially included Webb County Sheriff Martin Cuellar, Henry Cuellar’s brother, on a list of Democratic sheriffs for Abbott.
Abbott’s campaign says it was a mistake and removed him from the list online.
Martin Cuellar says he asked to be removed, noting Abbott endorsed his brother’s GOP opponent, Tano Tijerina:

Well, would you look at that. Greg Abbott is lying to Texas.
He claims he’s hit pause on all data center development.
Turns out his admin is still approving permits.
“…the approval process has since moved forward for dozens of data center projects.”

As long as I live, I will never, ever get over how losing twenty 6- and 7-year-old children days before Christmas wasn’t the end of guns in this country.
Largely driven by Republicans, Texas lawmakers have changed a number of voting laws in the past two decades.
From required IDs to navigating mail-in ballots, here's what Texas voters need to know before heading to the polls. bit.ly/4dKjrZv
MAGA is super obsessed with athletes’ genitalia and with gay men’s wardrobe and street festival choices. Wish they were more obsessed with not pissing away our national wealth bombing Iran.
If Don Huffines will bury the truth at Epstein’s crime scene, he will bury the truth in the comptroller’s office.
In fact, he already is.
