We discussed the importance of the judge office, voting, and more.

#BREAKING -- Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) Elected Speaker of the House. #118thCongress

[Economic Policy Institute @EconomicPolicy]

The recent burst of wage growth peaked in early 2022 and is heading back down. This peak occurred well before more recent signs of labor market cooling.

Wage growth has lagged far behind inflation, meaning that labor costs are dampening—not amplifying—price pressures.

In the 14th ballot to name a House speaker, Rep. Kevin McCarthy received 216 votes, a gain of two votes from the previous round, but still not enough to win the speakership.

News reporters will again not be allowed on the Texas Senate chamber floor in the upcoming legislative session.

The move was first implemented in 2021 as a COVID-19 precaution, but officials say the measure will continue this year.

NEW: Wages rose fastest for the top 1% and 0.1% of earners in 2021, while the bottom 90% took a pay cut.

Inequality has skyrocketed over the past 40 years. This growing inequality isn’t inevitable—it is a result of policy choices to reduce worker power. https://t.co/h1Ex1MdaAX

We will start reporting Texas election results live throughout the evening here. Bookmark this page.

Keep in mind: You won't know instantly who won. It takes time for votes to be counted. In very close races, it could be days. That's normal. https://t.co/oiPNPaqBZY

With one party in control of the state, some @TexasTribune readers have asked us whether voting makes a difference in Texas.

So we asked political scientists, candidates and fellow Texans. Here's what they said. 1/6
