@HicklandHillary Either you are not bright enough to know this was a win for the Democrats, or you think your voters aren't bright. Either way, huge mistake.
Friendly reminder to all Republican House members: There are about 500 days until your next primary. If I’m still around, I promise you this: if you support a Speaker who puts Democrats in charge of committees and kills Republican priorities, you will be primaried, and you will be defeated. Texans overwhelmingly elected you to do the right thing. Now, do it!

ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas and others gave shocking testimony today in the Senate Committee on Business & Commerce that within only six years (that’s only three legislative sessions), our power grid needs will grow from about 85,000 to 150,000 megawatts. That is much higher than the 110,000 megawatts they previously projected. The 110,000 megawatts was already a big increase, which is why the Senate pushed our incentive plan to build more dispatchable power last session. 150,000 megawatts is almost double the megawatts we now have on the grid.
Later testimony said the growth is due to the increases in population, normal business growth, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, crypto miners and data centers will be responsible for over 50% of the added growth. We need to take a close look at those two industries. They produce very few jobs compared to the incredible demands they place on our grid. Crypto mining may actually make more money selling electricity back to the grid than from their crypto mining operations.
Texans will ultimately pay the price. I’m more interested in building the grid to service customers in their homes, apartments, and normal businesses and keeping costs as low as possible for them instead of for very niche industries that have massive power demands and produce few jobs. We want data centers, but it can’t be the Wild Wild West of data centers and crypto miners crashing our grid and turning the lights off.
The Senators asked why this had not been disclosed before today. #txlege
🚨🚨ENDORSEMENT🚨🚨
@AndyHopperTX is the principled conservative in HD64. He’s a MAGA patriot who would have NEVER voted to impeach the greatest Attorney General in the country, @KenPaxtonTX. Andy will help fix our schools, secure the border, and will represent Denton and Wise counties with honor. Andy Hopper was not only a day one supporter of my campaign, but also a loyal friend, and he has my full endorsement! #Txleg

What a silly notion.
They suggest that in producing Chip Chilla, we were trying to make a conservative Bluey.
But there is already a conservative Bluey: Bluey!
Bluey is a terrific show that any parent would be happy to let their children watch - if only it appeared on a platform they could trust with their children.
If anything, Bentkey aspires to make shows as beautiful as Bluey
Every other part of this article is garbage. Chip Chilla is wonderfully written, is utterly enjoyable, and is, of course, almost completely distinct from Bluey.
In fact, the only real similarity between the two shows is that both feature loving and engaged nuclear families with great values who actually enjoy being together.
What a shame to live in a time where that is so rare in children’s entertainment as to invite this silly comparison.
But then, that’s why we had to create Bentkey in the first place.
Texas Ranger, David Maxwell, not only admitted to committing perjury, he also said he doesn’t actually know the truth. He also admitted to playing games with people while on the stand. He said he takes long pauses and pretends to not hear the questions in order to throw the other person off their game. Watch till the end. It doesn’t disappoint.
CNBC just released their list of the top 10 “worst states” to live in the US.

#1 The House failed to Ban China from buying TX land
#2 The House failed to Ban Covid vax mandates for Texans
#3 The House failed Pass school choice
#4 The House failed to Pass mandatory e-verify
#5 The House failed to Ban taxpayer-funded lobbying
#6 The House failed to pass a forensic audit bill.
ALL these things and more were passed by the Senate and died in the House. Why?
So we elect a majority Republican House and then GOP leadership makes bargains with the Democratic Party they ran "against" a few months earlier?!?
Yeah that makes perfect sense...
