My latest: Why the trucking company tied to the Terrell crash that killed five people hasn’t been shut down. Despite dozens of new safety violations since the crash, regulators have yet to act — raising big questions about accountability and public safety. https://t.co/1NqsK0gP4a

A Republican state senator who voted against convicting AG Ken Paxton in the impeachment trial is now calling for the trial to be reopened. I'm not even sure such a thing is possible.

Tightest grid conditions in the upcoming Arctic blast will likely be Tuesday morning. If you'd like to help, 7:00-8:30 Tuesday morning looks like it will be the time when reducing use would have the biggest impact... subject to change of course. #texas #txwx #txlege

Actually, it will be this afternoon. Each side has to give 24 hours notice to the calling of a witness and it will be around 4 p.m. before she can take the stand.
The first witness of the day is Ken Paxton's one-time mistress, Laura Olson.
