“Gaining the support of people in local communities is essential [for data centers].”
- Governor @GregAbbott_TX on @ThisWeekABC

Former @EPA chief Michael Regan and ex-@FERC Chairman Mark Christie say DC's absence is forcing counties to improvise on interconnection, water, air, noise, and benefits.
Texas developers already navigate @PUCTX and @ERCOT_ISO without federal guardrails. 🧵

If your project can't wait for DC and needs local approval, reach out. jdkey.com?source=hyperscale-…

Counties keep improvising until standards arrive, and that shows up as housing shocks and ballot fights before any MW lands.
Developers and operators must make their case effectively, and do the right things on workforce housing, road mitigations, and local hiring before a hearing.

James talarico thinks SEX is the "most important topic that [kids] will learn about in school."
He said this in a hearing on a bill to let parents opt their kids out. #TXsen

Thank you, Governor Abbott (@GovHotWheels_TX), for signing this historic school choice bill into law. 👏
Families like Choice’s now have the freedom to choose the educational opportunity that best meets their children’s needs.

The author left out the fact that over 50% of public school k-12 students across north Texas read and do math below grade level, which is abject failure! Put out a better product or continue to lose students.

Proud to announce what we've been working on: Prosperity One.
Site control on 4 thousand acres of extraordinary land.
It includes ultra high voltage transmission, rail, and the mighty Ohio River, and a welcoming county, making for one of the best places for nuclear on earth.

530A accounts ("Trump Accounts") are a great solution for many ultra-wealthy Americans who are philanthropically inclined, do not want a foundation staff, do want to give while living, and haven't been inspired by existing nonprofits. It's an American version of “GiveDirectly."

Education lifted @jorgeborregotx from a challenging childhood to a job writing policy in the TX lege.

I've known @jamestalarico for nearly 20 years. When we were at @UTAustin in 2009, he ran the University Democrats and I ran the College Republicans. Although we disagreed, I once considered him a friend. But then he betrayed the entire student body for his own political gain.🧵
