🔥 The DFW area is hitting record high temperatures, with over 100 degree days leading to wildfires in North Texas. With such staggering heat, it's important to take precautions to protect your health and know the warning signs of dangerous heat-related illnesses like heatstroke.
☀️ Check in on family members and neighbors, especially children or the elderly who are particularly susceptible to the heat.

(🧵8/8) Every dollar spent on TEA over-management is a dollar that never reaches a classroom. The TEA has spent four years hiring managers for itself as neighborhood campuses close.
It’s time for Abbott and Morath to focus on our children instead. #txlege
Last May, I authored legislation to require a full forensic audit of the Texas Education Agency.
We estimated that staffing increases may have been as high as 50%. On Wednesday, we received the final audit. #txlege
It was much worse than we imagined (🧵1/8):
(🧵6/8) There continue to be serious concerns about TEA contracts, including 4,200 errors and hundreds of copyright violations that forced the TEA to spend $8.4 million to destroy and reprint copies of their new Bluebonnet curriculum materials.
TEA’s new Bluebonnet curriculum is estimated to cost close to one billion dollars to implement across the state.

Rep. @Ramos4Texas, who requested the audit:
“It’s not like these schools have one principal for every three teachers. That would be bloat,” she said. “For him to willingly ignore that happening under his own nose is ridiculous.”
Texas is at the heart of American spaceflight. We are leading the country in space technology innovation.
But if we are going to be investing millions of dollars into the spaceflight industry, we need to make sure that environmental impacts and local communities are considered when awarding grants. #txlege
If Texas state agencies are going to be allowing their data to be used by LLM AI programs, we need to make sure that we have strong data safety measures in place.
We’ve recently seen OpenAI and Claude’s models experience data breaches during testing incidents this year. We must ensure that the personal data of Texans are not leaked by AI companies. #txlege
