hey you...yeah you! you should become a poll worker! head to https://t.co/PlEfN8CJQ9 to learn how you can become a poll worker this November! @PowerThePolls @CampusVote @fairerelections

[MTV NEWS @MTVNEWS]

A national shortage of US poll workers could lead to mass closures of voting locations in November, hitting Black and brown voters the hardest. To stop a looming crisis, @MTV @fairerelections & @ComedyCentral are launching a campaign to find 250,000 young poll workers in 100 days

This week we’re saying goodbye to a remarkable intern class. The work they did for @WHCEQ this summer was invaluable. Thank you, CEQ 2022 summer interns, for sharing your enthusiasm, passion, and hope for a more equitable and sustainable future.

A historic moment. Tonight marks the first time in United States history that two women are presiding over a #JointSession of Congress. @VP @SpeakerPelosi

@dav_id_and @price_zach Also happy to talk through this with you! I've helped a few people do similar things in their state legislatures!

It's so exciting to see so many campuses I worked with through @CampusVote Project in 2019 & 2020 become Voter Friendly Campuses! So proud of all the students, faculty, and administrators who worked so hard to help students vote, especially during a pandemic. #StudentVote

[Bobcats Vote @BobcatsVote]

HEY YALL! We are now a 🎉✨VOTER FRIENDLY CAMPUS!!✨🎉 Thank you to our staff, students, and San Marcos community for helping us reduce the barriers to student voting! We will continue our work in promoting civic engagement on Texas State’s campus! @txst

[H. Drew Galloway @hdrewgalloway]

During early voting last year, @MOVE_texas & @HarrisVotes held a drive-in concert with @BunBTrillOG & @TheSuffers to celebrate 24-hour voting at @nrgpark. This disgusting bill (HB2293) would make that illegal. Donate & fight back now: https://t.co/vsWSYO9IUq

We are missing the point in a colossal way if Texas responds to more frequent & more extreme weather by moving away from renewables & increasing high emissions fossil fuels.

It’s like putting out a fire with gasoline.

The independent @ERCOT_ISO board members are elected by the other board members who are market representatives...that seems to go against the point of having independent board members.

@JAustin101197 @GinaForAustin @BetoORourke "If you have insurance and are applying for disaster assistance, you must also file a claim with your insurance company as soon as possible. By law, FEMA cannot duplicate benefits for losses covered by insurance. If insurance does not cover all your damage, you may be eligible"

If you are a renter or homeowner & your home sustained damage in the extreme Winter freeze this week, you can apply for federal assistance below

Apparently this tweet is fake according to @AP, but I still stand by my comment that there are quite a few things @tedcruz should believe in...

[Maya Patel @maya_m_patel]

So when Texas actually did freeze over, you crossed the Mexican border to give your family a better life? huh...🤔 seems like there are quite a few things you should believe in...

We should be able to restore some customers this afternoon due to additional wind & solar output, & additional thermal generation that has told us they expect to become available. But, the amount we restore will depend on how much generation is actually able to come online.
