New: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” https://t.co/Abll3dfrMo

[Matthew Watkins @MWatkinsTrib]

What are we basing this on?

- Paxton's wife said in divorce filings that he moved out.
- He changed the address of his trust to a new address.
- When @zachdespart delivered a letter to the new address, he saw mail addressed to Paxton.
- Paxton appeared on a podcast in front a fireplace shown in listings for the home.

Solar generated more than 30 gigawatts for 6 hours in Texas today. (Austin, the 12th largest city in America, has a 3 gigawatt peak.)

Solar power provided more than 35% of total demand in ERCOT for nine hours on a near peak demand record day for July. #txlege #txenergy

Update: After being fired by UT Austin, KUT GM Debbie Hiott calls for university to relinquish the station's license.

"A community asset as important as KUT should not be in the hands of an institution that doesn't have any sense of accountability."

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2 https://t.co/6AGmFrB7x4

Damn, if only the Texas Majority PAC would spend that to elect Democrats! Why waste it in a primary on a man who doesn’t even know who his current State Representative is?

AISD needs funding + students. Austin needs housing + tax base. Turning a former school site into hundreds of homes near jobs/transit should be a no-brainer

And yes, Council will likely spend the afternoon getting scolded for supporting it. Often, the hardest votes deliver the best outcomes

They call it the mediocre to MAGA pipeline. I'd say that's an insult to mediocre.

“Austin ISD’s board members estimated a recapture payment of $715 million for the current school year, nearly half of its $1.58 billion budget, limiting how much local revenue the district can retain.”

Rori Harmon stuck up for Madison Booker at the podium and consoled her after the game in the hallway...

She gave her reasoning after a question from @_dannydavis

"Mental health is a really big deal and I understand Maddie didn't play her best game and she really thinks it's her fault. When someone thinks that way you console them, that's your teammate, you never make them feel that they're alone...To me she's the best basketball player right now, I don't care about what everybody is saying. Madison Booker is the one"
