On expansive clay, swelling soil can push on under-slab pipes. VoidForm's PlumbingVoid creates permanent void space so uplift pressure goes to the system, not the pipes, which move independently. Non-corroding fiberglass/PVC hangers. https://t.co/brYOVmXjDN #ExpansiveSoil
On this Veterans Day, thank you to every man and woman who has served our country, and to the families who served alongside them. Many of you now build Texas: on job sites, in design offices, and in the field. We're grateful for you today and every day. #VeteransDay
Texas' commercial code minimum is still IBC 2012; it doesn't reach unincorporated county areas. SEAoT's Fall 2026 Journal: engineers want IBC 2024/2021 minimums in 2027. Expansive clay ignores code editions; void space is set in the spec. #ExpansiveSoil https://t.co/x0QdVvFfLn
Grade beams over expansive clay need protection from below, not just the sides. VoidForm's WallVoid and TrenchVoid leave a void under beams and walls so heaving soil can move without lifting the concrete. Spec 03 1001: https://t.co/DeSf3ewVL7

FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING
More than a year ago, the House passed the Clarity Act.
There’s been progress since — thousands of hours of bipartisan negotiations took place at the staff and Member levels. The Senate Committees on Banking and Agriculture advanced their respective titles. And Senate Republicans produced a floor-ready product that, as I type this, is waiting for a vote.
It’s disappointing — but not surprising — that Senate Democrats are choosing politics on the cusp of a major victory for American leadership. Find another instance in history where Congress, when given the choice, opted to push an industry out of the United States rather than smartly regulate it. American Exceptionalism was once a bipartisan goal; if Clarity fails, I have serious doubts.
These same Democrats — many of whom have taken millions of dollars from the crypto industry — proclaim that Clarity lacks safeguards for consumers and falls short in countering illicit finance. Nothing could be further from the truth. Titles II and III materially uplift regulatory and compliance obligations for digital asset intermediaries, placing them on similar footing with traditional financial institutions. The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act — which Washington lobbyists have spun up as a boogeyman for certain groups of prosecutors and law enforcement — does nothing other than codify longstanding Treasury Department policy that’s remained consistent across Administrations: non-custodial builders and developers are not, and have never been, subject to registration obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act. And at this point, major law enforcement trades that once opposed the bill, including the Fraternal Order of Police, have now endorsed it.
The Senate needs to vote NOW on this landmark legislation. The truth is that Senate Democrats are afraid to advance the Clarity Act as they fear Senator Warren and the “Anti-Crypto Army” she once promised to build. In the days ahead, Leader Thune will put this theory to the test. Will Senate Democrats be on the side of American Exceptionalism, or will they opt to cede American leadership of a global industry for fear of the bespectacled squirrel’s Left flank?
America will lead or America won’t. It’s not more complicated than that. I believe Satoshi once said it best:
“If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.”
