There are legitimate community concerns about data centers that need to be addressed, but Congress does need to find out how much our foreign adversaries are attempting to undermine our growth and national security.

Thank you to Speaker @Burrows4TX for my appointment to the Select Committee on Governmental Oversight. I’m looking forward to working with Chair @cvasut and the rest of the committee members to find ways to bring more accountability and integrity to government.

Big development: Google’s demand response capability allows them to limit or shift a portion of machine learning workloads running in their data centers. This reduces the overall data center power demand, helping to stabilize the grid during certain hours or times of the year.
Google is now the first cloud provider to integrate 1 GW of flexible demand into long-term utility contracts. Our ability to shift or reduce our energy demand when it’s needed can help utility companies balance supply/ demand and plan for future capacity needs.
This is a big milestone for responsible data center growth and helps keep costs lower for local communities.

Just five years after its inception, Operation Lone Star is delivering results that matter.
“pledge companies agreed to, including a promise to provide their own electricity supplies, mirrors steps that companies like Microsoft, Anthropic, and Google have previously committed to as they seek the electricity to power hundreds of planned data hubs”

Great turnout today for Sen. @mayes_middleton as he runs for Attorney General. Always encouraging to see so many engaged neighbors showing up and asking thoughtful questions about the future of Texas.

The Texas House Republican Caucus PAC proudly endorses Rep. @RepRichardHayes for re-election to the Texas House! Rep. Hayes is a proven champion for House District 57 and will continue to fight for conservative principles in the next legislative session.
President Trump is right. Data center power costs should not be passed onto Texas ratepayers. I'm glad Google is already investing in upgrading our grid, and more need to follow. Thank you President Trump for your leadership on this issue!
