Battery storage in ERCOT is now routinely providing 10%-20% of power required by the Texas grid during times of peak demand. Five years ago, we had no batteries in ERCOT. The next 5 years are going to be nuts.

Not a huge impact from Iran yet, but a new net low in our Trump approval tracking today fwiw.

NEW: Rapper Afroman is scheduled to stand trial in a civil lawsuit filed by seven Adams County (Ohio) Sheriff’s deputies.   The legal battle stems from a 2022 raid on Afroman's home, where officers were investigating alleged drug trafficking and kidnapping claims that resulted

In their wildest fantasies about Hunter Biden, Republicans didn't come up with anything half as corrupt as what Kushner is doing in front of our eyes every day. He's handling US foreign policy at the exact same time that he's taking billions from the Saudi dictator.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

This is the second war for Trump where bones are playing a role

The governor of TX saying he wants school vouchers for all religions except one is pretty much guaranteeing that the Supreme Court ends TXs school vouchers program.

Here’s why MAGA is attacking our movement: There’s a new war in the Middle East. There’s a cost of living crisis. There’s a secret pedophile ring. They're hoping Americans care more about culture wars than actual wars. More about pronouns than prices. We're not falling for it.

Interesting that @JDVance has basically gone dark since the war in Iran started. No long, indignant Twitter essays whining about the media or whatever bullshit. You think you can hide from this disaster, JD? Your team briefed that your advice to Trump was to "go bigger" in Iran!

Eight weeks of paid leave for every new parent = $10 billion Covering community college tuition for every student = $10.9 billion

Breaking News: The U.S. was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people — was the result of a targeting mistake.

Corpus Christi is running out of water.

In the primaries for the Texas House of Representatives last week, more Democrats won the primary vote in 77 districts to the Republicans' 73 districts. #TexasPrimary
