But at least the cost of school vouchers is exploding with no evidence they'll lead to better student outcomes.
Great work, y'all.

@gguworld Reporting in from Ft. Worth here too. Hats off to Anika, for the die hards and neysayers - she toured with Jeff Beck on his last go.

America can best mark the sad and untimely passing of Senator Lindsey Graham by sanctioning Russia and rededicating to the victory of Ukraine. Senator Graham just yesterday spoke in Ukraine about working to end Putin’s brutal war which is filled with civilian atrocities and lies. Let’s honor Senator Graham’s fierce support for Ukraine against Putin and his war crimes.

BREAKING: New polling in South Carolina has Republicans terrified of another Democratic flip opportunity where Dr. Annie Andrews is only 3 points behind Lindsey Graham. This is amazing.

➡️Graduate high school.
➡️Get a job.
➡️Get married before having kids.

Researchers call it the "Success Sequence" and following it almost always keeps people out of poverty. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Texas oil and gas is too damn important to leave in the hands of an unserious extremist. To borrow a classic line from LBJ's campaign: In your heart, you know he's nuts. 

This election is a definitive choice between Chaos vs. Competence. While my general election opponent spends his days generating online outrage, targeting innocent families, and trying to spark institutional crises, I’m focused on the practical solutions Texans actually care about.

If you want a more reliable power grid, clean air and water, strong protection for our lands, good jobs, and cheaper monthly utility bills, I'm your guy.

Yesterday, PJM and ERCOT were both within ~5% of their respective all-time peak demand records.

In ERCOT, battery operators deployed over 10 gigawatts (2nd highest all time).

In PJM, which is twice the size as ERCOT: 0.18 gigawatts.

Batteries solve a lot of problems... 1/4

What can be more American than
the Grateful Dead and Los Lobos singing “This Land Is Your Land” on the Fourth of July? I love everything about this. 🇺🇸

[Jamie Raskin @jamie_raskin]

We’d like to think everyone was on the side of revolutionary liberal democracy against the King and the established church, but half the people despaired of ever defeating the greatest empire in history and all the autocrats, theocrats and kleptocrats. But the first generation of Americans pledged their Lives, their Fortunes and their sacred Honor to the cause of democratic self-government, the equality of all people and our unalienable rights and freedoms. Hang tough, America!

@tedlieu Meanwhile renewables carry a LARGE load in Texas https://t.co/kIsP57s0d5

[Doug Lewin @douglewinenergy]

ERCOT projects an all-time July peak demand record today >83 gigawatts. There's over 30 GW of spare capacity *at peak* thanks to Texas' diverse fuel mix incl. 40 GW of solar. Right now, 60% of the generation in Texas is from solar & wind and 9GW worth of batteries are charging.

Great - now we can help weaken the Texas grid right back to 2021.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@jamestalarico: I think about the maternal mortality crisis, where you see Black women dying at three times the rate of other mothers. And so I've rolled out a plan in consultation with a lot of community leaders to figure out what we can do to address this crisis. And that's ensuring that every new mother, including every Black mother, has access to prenatal care and paid family leave so that after they give birth they can tend to their own health and the health of their child. There's so much that we could do at the federal level to save the lives of Black mothers all across the state.

Another issue that I think impacts Black Texans particularly is voting rights and gerrymandering — probably the biggest attack on Black political power since Jim Crow. They are systematically diluting the voting power of Black and brown Texans. And so these two issues in particular I think need a lot of spotlight.

Inflation is awake and your cash is having a nap. Bad portfolio strategy, mate.⁣

If rates are up, money sitting in a zero-interest account is volunteering for a pay cut.⁣
